If you have Assault guy and Strongman, what will you dual class him?

[Muton]

I have an assault guy with Strongman, should I make him a Sniper or Heavy? Will Strongman enable him to use Jetpacks? If so, its basically a perk that is a dual class by itself.

[kiloromeo]

Pretty sure no jump, but you could get Dash and Quick Aim with high damage Heavy Weapons.

[Muton]

yea that sounds good, a tri-class guy

[finnwalTD]

Infiltrator - it will give to you +50% damage and ability to ignor overwatch

Strongman - absolutely useless perk, especially for assault which should have maximum perception range.

I haven't actually tried this but maybe wait until you can cross him with Berserker. Jet someplace and smack'em.

[cary2010haha]

Strongman only gives you heavy weapon pro, jump pack need the heavy class .
but at the end no one use jump pack, high speed character cover more area than jump pack does.

assault with berserk with strong man already too powerful now.

"...no one use jump pack"?
I use jump packs a lot. Hit a high point to scout then deploy my other troops. I usually have a couple of Heavy/Snipers. Get up on a building and they have awesome lines of sight. On some maps you can cover half the field that way. Or I'll jump to a high point near a group of baddies and War Cry them. On scavenging missions there are some loot boxes that can only be accessed by jumping to them.

Wow that looks like it ruins any challenge and fun to the game

Against the forsaken/pure it fails hard (because armour shuts everyone but snipers down), and unless the character also has biochemist, it's not useful against scyllas. The main issue is that the mutation required for it to be safe to use, armoured head, drops perception, so you want to have some others scout the area before you send him in. he'll also need 16wp and 20move if you want him effective. The other major issue is, you want to capture enemies for the resources,

I have 2 Assault Berserker Strongmen... I was wondering if I should put Vengeance torsos on them, as adrenaline rush has a lot of drawbacks (dazed, need to use 5WP every turn to melee at 1 AP, cant use WP, -50% accuracy).. I can see them running out of WP very quickly using dash, adrenaline every turn (dash being used on the first attack before I activate adrenaline)

Adrenaline rush also make rest(4ap > 1 ap to restore wp), mutant have the head that imm to daze

As guns are always better than all melee but ancient scythe(which is super boken too)

[Muton]

yes there is the daze immunity head. The phoenix stun lance is the best melee before LotA.

but I dont understand your statement about rest, Adrenaline rush also make rest(4ap > 1 ap to restore wp) ???

[GreatPalm]

berserker. Buff with frenzy, free reloads from Ready for anything. Rapid Clear, Dash, Adrenaline. Clear whole map(maybe).
