Thoughts on Wrecker

Wrecker in a nutshell

The Wrecker is the beatstick of monstrosities. The one that does significant work in melee and can kill both infantry and enemy heavies. It's the most expensive option for a very good reason.

Combos & Synergies

• Cephalyx Agitator - The Agitator makes the Monstrosities hit harder and more accurately
• Cephalyx Overlords because Anatomical Precision is a great way of giving focus to Monstrosities.
• Exulon Thexus - Decel puts it at ARM 20 against shooting. TK is great on anything and the Wreckers get stuck in deep for Spell Driver plays.
• Dominated Kayazy Eliminators as well as Asphyxious4's murder bots can fill up the Warden with focus with Anatomical Precision and Puncture respectively.
• Cognifex Cyphon has a great package for Monstrosities! Perseverance makes it ARM 20, while Blur puts it at DEF 15. Breath Stealer makes for great hitfixing, and of course there's the feat for +3 ARM, STR and SPD. Onslaught also gives it much needed Pathfinder, albeit only on a charge.
• Asphyxious4 - With Dark Shroud and Instigate, the Wrecker hits like a ton of bricks. He brings clouds to hide behind was well.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• It's biggest downside is the fact that the Warden is so much more spammable at 10 pts. If your approach is "more is better" the Wrecker will lose out in the competition.

Tricks & Tips

• Cut it with Cephalyx for focus
