S-Tier Mechanized Lim : Fully Mechanized Infantry is arguably the strongest doctrine in the game, and Lim is the best unit to do so. On top of Mobile Infantry, he has two extremely useful perks to make it work : Pointfire and Berserk. With a good rifle and ammo, you can kill three units a turn and never lose a single squaddie. Moreover, his starting perk allows you to quickly build him up even in the early game, where other very strong units take more time and resources to set up. Stealth Darby : Stealth Darby needs no introduction; she is the undisputed queen of this early access. While she is an extremely expensive unit to build, both in terms of supply and promotion points, the results speak for themselves. Not only is she incredibly strong on the battlefield, able to clear entire missions by herself as long as there is no armor, but she is also the only proper recon squad in the game. Making her an almost indispensable unit in every playthrough. Playing without Darby is one of the biggest nerfs because nobody else is really able to fill her niche. Jetpack Medium Mech Rewa : The strongest individual unit in the game, able to clear by herself late-game expert missions (you are probably going to need at least two resupplies if you want to try tough). The Berserk and Drive-By perks allow her to jump and kill two units in one turn, and with Fury Commando, and the twin autocannons, she can annihilate everything in one shot. She is even able to reliably kill a heavy tank by herself as long as she keeps shooting at its back. Very expensive and only available in the late-game once the medium mech starts appearing on the black market, but the best solution to any MENACE-related problem you might have, and just an absolute blast to play. Taxi Driver Exconde : The Ying to Mechanized Lim’s Yang. Able to cover staggering amounts of ground with his Fervor perk, he can breach enemy lines or conduct aggressive flanking maneuvers easily. While he will outpace all recon or supporting units, he is tanky enough thanks to Divine Intervention to survive first contact with the enemy and unload its infantry. His only problem is his lack of anti-armor capabilities, but then again, if you don’t like the neighborhood, you can just pack your stuff and leave to the other side of the map. In a game where aggression and maneuver are the name of the game, Exconde is the most powerful mobility enabler. But be careful as Rewa tends to get jealous if Lim spends too much time in his APC. A-Tier Mechanized Yaz : While Yaz has the Mobile Infantry and Berserk perks that allow him to shoot 3 times a turn, his lack of Pointfire and a lower Accuracy stat make him a less reliable 3-units-a-turn killer than Lim, but with If It Bleeds and Fearsome, you can still put the enemy out of action. Yaz is the second infantry unit that enables the Fully Mechanized Infantry doctrine making him an integral building block of the most powerful strategy. Moreover the first time I heard him yell “Сдавайся, сука” I got flashback from hundreds of videos from the Ukraine War, which is a positive in my book. Jetpack Medium Mech Achilles : While he suffers from the lack of Berserk, which means he can only fire once after jumping at base stats, he is still the only other unit who can properly utilize the jetpack mech. His Shield Wall perk makes him extremely survivable, and can put him over the 120 AP point necessary to jump and fire twice really fast. It also allows him to be a lot more aggressive when playing against the Rogue Army, as he doesn’t have to fear being one-shot by ATGMs. While his base damage is significantly lower than Rewa's, there are still very few units that can take a twin autocannon volley and live to tell the tale. Jetpack Assault Lim : Lim’s position as the character with the best action economy in the game makes him very potent with the jetpack armor. With Run And Gun and Berserk you can kill two units after jumping, with Counter Strike often killing a third. Moreover, his Blaze of Glory perk is a lifesaver when you discover there was an autocannon team you hadn’t noticed before jumping, and who is about to ruin your day. With good Discipline and Defense Stats, he can generally shrug off one or two attacks before being pinned down, which is often the biggest danger for jump squads. All in all, the Jetpack Assault doctrine is probably a bit too unforgiving and inconsistent to warrant the “A” rank, especially in Ironman Expert difficulty. But it is super fun and very satisfying, and this tier list is a reflection of my biases rather than any form of reality, so it gets a spot. Jetpack Assault Yaz : The insane slavic second half of the dynamic duo. A true murder machine in close combat, his ability to kill two units after jumping and sending the rest running is extremely powerful, and with No Mercy, you have an incredibly strong follow-on turn where you can easily kill even a full health, in-cover enemy unit that has become Wavering. The fact that he can morale break everybody around him affords him a lot more survivability, which compensates for his lower discipline. Designator Tech : While the idea of using the 2 meter tall, 100 kilos beast of a man as a glorified laser pointer is really funny, it is also very efficient. Without having to deploy and with Quick Hand, he can designate up to three targets in a turn, making him the perfect hunter in a hunter-killer antitank team. I like to put him in a jetpack armor for mobility, with this build, you can still lase one target after jumping, which allows you to kill any armor threats that pops up anywhere in one turn. B-Tier ATGM Bog : Bog’s ability to bring an incredibly cheap vehicle is perfectly adapted for an ATGM build, and because it’s far more efficient to use it in top attack mode, his poor Accuracy doesn’t come into play. While you can go to his Lucky Shot perk to dispatch heavy tanks more easily, the added cost in Promotion Points isn’t really worth it. And you don’t really need a build with Achilleas or Ivey where you fire two times a turn. Corcodile Kody : Your one-stop solution for small mechs, pirate vehicles, and large bugs. Kody’s excellent Accuracy and high AP make him a very potent mobile sniper. And with the Assassin, Tankbuster, and Gerilla perks the Crocodile hits like a thermonuclear brick. Because you can run him in a 3 man squad for that role the squaddie tax becomes a lot less problematic. Command Pike : A really powerful unit in the early game when you have yet to build your insane AP economy SLs, he allows you to make these very aggressive maneuvers that win firefights. Inspiring Presence and Rally make pushes a lot easier, and he can soak up so much suppression he might as well be used for target practice. The only problem is that once your assaulters start to have more AP, or jetpacks, he really struggles to keep up, and the reach of his abilities is not that great. Heavy Infantry Vamplew : I really like Vamplew. As a francophone, his accent feels a bit like having somebody repeatedly pull my cochlea with tweezers, but it might be for lore reasons? Maybe? I don’t know, and it doesn’t really matter because he is such a great infantry unit. Great stats, not too expensive to build or field, and his unique perk is really strong and fun to use. If you handle him well, he can have 165 AP almost every turn in combat, and with Pointfire and Shooting Gallery that means a whole lot of dead enemies. While he is going to struggle against the MENACE, as even late-game armors tend to get shredded by their guns, he will be a really strong unit against anything beforehand, all while serving like a baddie. I mean, a purple scarf, a plate carrier, and TWO jackets? That’s just style on another level; it would make these losers on r/malefashionadvice spontaneously combust if they could see it. Grenade Launcher Carda : An excellent early game anti-infantry unit for defense missions; her lack of accuracy does not impact her much, nor does her very low AP. You can go to Full Send or Steady Gun if you really want to, but there isn’t really any need. And I love the sound of the MK19, so that’s a bonus. I’ve tried to make a decent Mechanized build with her, but I never really managed to, if anybody did I’m curious because I really don’t think I’m using her to her full potential. Tank Rewa : Rewa in a tank just seems fitting, you know that if she had a sword she would order her driver to drive her closer to the enemy to hit them with it. It is an excellent, self-contained, late-game antitank unit. Able to quickly react to threats, survivable, and with the CMG50 or the Grenade Launcher, still able to deal with any pesky infantry, including MENACE drones. With Fury and Tankbuster there are very few units she cannot destroy in one hit. Most interestingly, it is a natural progression from her early and mid-game builds, meaning you don’t have to redo her perks or compromise on her earlier performances. With Rewa, it’s just smooth kuta-crushing from start to finish. Rifle Squad Sachin : Sachin is kind of a one-trick pony, but what a pony. With his low squaddie tax and This Is My Rifle perk, he is just so cheap. Useful both in defensive and attack missions, he is a reliable, efficient, and affordable unit that will carry you in the early and mid-game, with the added bonus of sounding magnificent while doing it. Rifle squads tend to struggle against the MENACE tough, but within a solid combined-arms team and with AP rounds, he can still shine. Antitank Tech : The PAL is the best infantry-based antitank solution in the early game by far, compared to the Workshopped RPG and the Mining Laser. And with Tech, it becomes far more mobile and usable outside of defense missions. Pointfire is not necessary but useful to have. Its an extremely reliable early-game build at a time when your anti-tank options are often limited. The laser lance is a good mid-game pick, and the MAAL makes this build viable even in the late-game, even if it pales in comparison to an ATGM team or a Tank Gun. C-Tier Radar Bog : Like with the ATGM, Bog is the ideal character if you want a unit that brings a single, non-stat based capability to bear on the cheap. The radar tough, is a lot less useful than a dedicated recon team. Without knowing the unit type, knowing its location is not going to be enough to properly plan a maneuver or an attack, and at Expert difficulty, the only thing it's going to tell you is “there are enemy units everywhere on the map”. On top of that, because you have to activate it almost every turn, Bog tends to struggle to keep up with the rest of the force. It would be useful for planning artillery strikes, but artillery is basically useless, so it doesn’t really have a chance to shine. ATGM Jean : While Jean’s perk tree seems to point toward making her a well-equipped frontliner, her stats are so low that she just wouldn’t perform well in that role. And, at least in Expert difficulty, the amount of loot you have to sell on the black market is rarely a bottleneck after the early game. So she is often reduced to hauling around the ATGM in my playthroughs. But the truth is, there is very little reason not to put the ATGM on Bog or another cheap vehicle. You gain just so much mobility and survivability, and you can carry far more ammo for a not-so-great price difference. Tank Ivey : You want your tank to be able to move fast and then fire a shot accurately, to take out any armor that your recon team spots. Ivey’s perk tree and stats really do not support it. Firing the tank gun twice is really not that useful, as you generally want to first reposition yourself then fire. Moreover her low Discipline and Defense make her unsuited for a recon-in-force role, as she tends to run for the hills when she gets shot at too much. Infantry Kody : While his excellent stats make him look like a well-rounded infantry, there is never a time when it really justifies the very high cost. His lack of any AP economy perks really handicaps him here. He is worse than Vamplew and far more expensive than Sachin, with fewer useful perks than Pike. Rifle Squad Pike : While perks like This Is My Rifle and Firing Line make you want to give him a good rifle, he suffers from the same problems as Kody, in that getting these last perks would prove rather expensive, and other characters fill that role better. One of his main strengths, very high discipline, is completely underused when simply shooting at things far away. Still useful in the early game when a full squad of Crowbar is devastating, but far from being the most meta use of supply points. Light Mech Achilleas : I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t like the Light Mech; its lower mobility and one less utility slot compared to the ATV really puts it at a disadvantage. And while its ability to equip a jetpack could turn it into a nifty, quickly redeployable anti-tank platform able to neutralize pop-up threats, the math never works out. The only way to have it shoot one of the 60AP anti-tank weapons like the Rocket Launcher or Laser Lance after jumping is with Achilleas with Drive By, and that’s pretty expensive for something that could just be a far more versatile APC. Moreover, the Mech Jetpack only starts appearing in the endgame when you have far better options available for that role. D-Tier Scout Car Esconde : One of my obsession since the release of the early access has been to make a viable scout car build. This is the closest I came to, and it’s still dogshit. The problem with infantry recon is that, if the rest of your force becomes fully mechanized, then they will always outpace the recon squad. That and, no matter how good her VA is, I’m getting tired of Darby’s lines. But, currently, and despite my best efforts, there is no way to make the ATV survivable enough for my dream to become a reality. While Esconde’s Divine Intervention perk helps, and Fervor allows him to get out of a bad situation, the ATV can quickly become boxed in between enemy units. Even loaded to the gills with Adaptive Camouflage modules, you simply can’t sneak through enemy lines like Darby. And if you prioritize vision range with Advanced Sensor modules, then you are just sitting in the equivalent of a Honda Civic far in front of the rest of the force. Artillery Ivey : I just can’t seem to make artillery work in this game, neither the Rocket Organ nor the 180mm Mortar. The Rocket Organ is just too inconsistent to be useful; it never seems to suppress the units I want it to suppress, and the fact that it has to reload every other turn makes it singularly unreactive. Even with Bog, it never seems to justify the supplies spent on it. Ivey’s build with the mortar is just as bad. Even with Direct Fire the spread is just too great. And there never really is a situation when using one unit to designate the target, and then another to shoot at it is advantageous over simply sending Lim in. And if the enemy unit is so dangerous that it justifies spending so many resources on it, the last thing you want is a widely inaccurate attack. The only time where I decided to include artillery in one of my build, outside of wanting to test it, was as support for jetpack attack units to treat undiscovered targets that would pin down my attackers. And it was so bad at it that I just replaced it with the small mortar. On top of that, the secondary missions “Don’t destroy three structures”, which are generally an easy source of promotion points, become completely impossible. It is kinda fun to use in the same way that playing roulette is fun; when it hits its very satisfying, but just don’t really count on it ever paying off. Wereworth : The most useless character: with tremendously low AP, and a growth potential so low you could not make a decent SL out of him even if you locked him for a millennium inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. While his Accuracy is not bad, it is worse than Sachin with a full squad, and you get none of the other good perks Sachin has. He doesn’t have any good build to turn him into an anti-tank unit, and his voice is insanely annoying. On top of that I just hate Crocodile Dundee man. Paul Hogan had real potential, I loved his character in Anzac. That franchise just nuked his career. submitted by /u/Horo_Misuto to r/menace [link] [comments]
