			\|SGT={{ Repair Servos (Long War)}}
			\|TSG={{ Reactive Targeting Sensors (Long War)}}
			\|GSG={{ Absorption Fields (Long War)}}
			\|MSG={{ Damage Control (Long War)}}
			\|Boost=+9 will, +2 aim, -1 mobility
			\|Strength=Exceptional tanking, Overwatch utility, Secondary weapons not relegated to mists
			\|Weakness=Gives up unique healing utility of FM+Savior builds, relies on secondary weapons to be proactive in fights
			\|Battles=All
			\|Loadout=Heavy Exo Suit; Flamethrower(s); Grenade Launcher; Core Armoring; Incinerator Module; SCOPE
			\|Power Ranks=TSG for Overwatching, GSG for tanking
			\|Description=If the healing potential of the Guardian is not needed or doesn't interest you, a more straightforward tanking and overwatching build can be made. Also, not taking the Restorative Mist perks frees up your secondary weapon slots to be more versatile and proactive. If you are already satisfied with the tanking power of ATA, Absorption Fields, and Damage Control then Repair Servos can be dropped for Packmaster to stack up on flamethrowers and/or grenades for long missions.
			\|Strategic Analysis=The plan of engagement with this build is simple: absorb fire, lockdown enemies with overwatch, and punish anything that gets too close with secondary weapons. Stacking flamethrowers boosted with an incinerator module puts the power of the sun in the palm of your hands, turning the Guardian into a mobile cremation oven that can potentially oneshot groups of lesser or weakened aliens while also destroying cover and panicking any hapless survivors. A grenade launcher can also be used to pop cover with more range. Don't give any item that increases Defense, or aliens will likely ignore it and shoot at your other troops.

			== Sample Builds ==
			===Overwatch / Healer===

			LCPL: '''Field Medic''': Restorative Mist x3.

			CPL: '''Covering Fire''' : Reaction shot on enemy actions.

			SGT: '''Sentinel''' : Two OW shots.

			TSGT: '''Savior''' : Restorative Mist on steroids (+4 HP per heal).

			GSGT: '''Lock N' Load''' : Reload without ending the turn.

			MSGT: '''Ready For Anything''' : Automatic OW after firing as first action.

			Other than the Valkyrie, the Guardian is the other MEC unit that provides great OW perks with high Aim progression (+21 total Aim at MSGT). This build can fire up to 3 times per turn including reaction fire on enemy actions. It is a natural healer, but it is not as durable as other MEC builds. Restorative Mist is a core item for this build. Consider equipping a grenade launcher if there are available slots. Useful equipment includes anything that increases aim (Battle Computer, Scope) and defense (Tactical Sensors).


			===Tank / Healer===

			LCPL: '''Field Medic''': Restorative Mist x3.

			CPL: '''Automated Threat Assessment''' : +0.5 DR and +15 defense while in Overwatch.

			SGT: '''Repair Servos''' : Self-repair.

			TSGT: '''Savior''' : Restorative Mist on steroids (+4 HP per heal).

			GSGT: '''Absorption Fields''' : Extra DR.

			MSGT: '''Damage Control''' : +1.5 DR.

			This tank build is more versatile than the pure tank build of the Goliath MEC. While it maximizes the healing capabilities of Restorative Mist, it can also overwatch with no aim penalty (Opportunist). For maximum tanking consider equipping Core Armoring (prevents critical hits and +2 HP), and Alloy Carbide Plating (+4 HP). For more versatility replace the ACP with a Battle Computer for +8 Aim/Crit/Defense bonus.
