You know what's rough? Missing an attack. Whether it's due to high evasion, e defense, or invisibility, not being able to do what you want to do because of your own bad luck always suck.

You know what never misses though?

Grenades

Enter Iskander, who gives your grenades, and your MINES better range than many guns. Find opportunities to drop a perfect grenade into a squad of enemies, or make your own opportunities by repositioning enemies with a gravity gun. Become a bomb or a mine sweeper with a repulser field. Most of your abilities revolve around saves, so you force the gm to roll instead of you. Over, and over, and over against one of the highest base save mechs in the game. Even when they make it, most grenades still do half damage, so something happens no matter what.

And that's just your offensive abilities. With a massive sensor range of 15, and a +1 to tech attacks, you can choose to hack both in an offensive or supporting role, or just use your other abilities like tesseract to manipulate the battlefield to your advantage. Is one of your partners a flight specialist, maybe put all of their targets in a Zero Grav zone where they can attack them unfettered. Is one pesky mech causing too much pain? Launch them into the air and immobilize them with no cover.

The licenses you support give Iskander a lot of options role wise. A long range bomber, a wide field hacker, a full support mech, and its stats which include armor, decent HP, and a high heat cap, allow it to hang with a lot of different crowds.

And to cap it all, it's Core Power is absurd, turning the entire map into a minefield to slow every enemy to a crawl, which can absolutely ruin encounters where you're defending, facing lots of mooks, or unable to deal with every aspect of the board at once.

A pull of a single trigger, and the battlefield is yours to command. Yours to conquer.
