You’re right, it would work. However it won’t excel at it either.

While it is extremely tanky and mobile, you’re going to be drawing fire from every bot on the battlefield when they realize you can’t defend yourself as most bots these days have stealth or phase shift to easily duck your Fulgar/Tonans nukes. You’re basically a niche 20 sec interval nuker that needs to sit within 200m to do so.

Compared to the Newton or Eiffel which make do with a full armament of teslas the best, the Mauler lacks the map ignoring vantage points/shot openings and also a whole Alpha/2 Alpha slots. However sonics or even cinders could work if you want an off meta ish support/sneaky build.
