Armageddon Build

Let’s Have a Blast!

Description needed
SC-37 Legionnaire

No real Armor requirement for this build. I find the extra throw distance to be helpful.

Armor
A heavy rifle with explosive rounds.
JAR-5 Dominator

Any Primary will do. You need something to do some heavy lifting. I like Jar 5 on bots, or Blitzer on bugs. They can handle everything hunder Heavies

Primary
Steeled Veterans
A pistol front-loaded with a single, powerful explosive. The weight of the projectile limits the weapon's range.
GP-20 Ultimatum

Used for Bile Titans, Factory Striders, and any Objectives that needer bigger firepower

Secondary
Servants of Freedom
A thermite grenade that burns through heavy armor.
G-123 Thermite

Used on Chargers, Hulks, Fabricators and Bug Holes mainly, and then any other Heavies that need blowing up.

Throwable
Democratic Detonation
A sustained barrage of 120mm high-explosive shells.
Orbital 120mm HE Barrage

120 is the quickest CD you have at 180 seconds. If you have a Medium base or objective, or even a Breach or Bot drop this will still thin the herds quite well.

Stratagem
A devastating barrage of massive 380mm high-explosive shells.
Orbital 380mm HE Barrage

380 is the biggest of Booms! This will absolutely eliminate a large base or Bot Drop / Bug Breach to include all of the heavies (usually).

Stratagem
A moving barrage that walks across the battlefield.
Orbital Walking Barrage

The 380s weird wandering brother. Same 380 shells but now they slowly march forward. Usually good for fortresses or for leading the charge into a base.

Stratagem
Covers the area in burning napalm for area denial.
Orbital Napalm Barrage

Orbital Napalm Barrage is the ultimate area denial. It will shut down all Bot Drops and Breaches leaving only heavies to be mopped up. If you don’t want to deal with something for a while, throw this at it

Stratagem

Playstyle

You are Armageddon, the end of the world for our enemies. As you approach, their worlds burn. Is there a breach? Then throw a 380, 120, Napalm and Walking. A bug base? Then throw a 380, 120, Napalm and Walking. That Mega Nest? Then throw a 380, 120, Napalm and Walking. When they are off Cooldown you are ready to unload the full force of Super Earth. When they are all on Cooldown your Blitzer (Jar 5 bots) will do all of the heavy lifting for all bugs under Chargers / Hulks. Thermites take care of Chargers, Hulks, and Tanks. The Ultimatum takes out Impalers and Bile Titans and Factory Striders. Show our enemies why they should fear the might of managed democracy.
