Tactical Advice
Intended Role: Mid-range Offensive/Defensive Support
Fitting its name, the Shogun ("Warlord") is - like the Engineer - a specialist in battlefield control, destroying enemy cover using Collateral Damage and Sapper. Whilst it doesn't have the raw range of the Jaeger, the Shogun can also act as a highly effective antimech platform using HEAT Warheads and Critical System Targeting to put the hurt on Mechtoids, Cyberdiscs, and other mechanical foes. Grenadier increases the number of grenade uses, allowing for sustained bombardment throughout longer missions. Like the Medic, the Shogun can provide healing throughout a mission using Restorative Mist with First Aid.
Unlike the Jaeger, the Shogun is a little more durable when it comes to defenses - but care should also be taken to protect it from enemy units that may also gain anti-mech abilities; unfortunately, most of these enemies are also the kind that the Shogun excels in destroying. Consider using a more 'vulnerable' and expendable SHIV to act as a close-range decoy.
