Mitigator

An enemy soldier who finds himself the target of a Mitigator stares death in the face. He knows that once it launches its razor bola, fitted with spikes that actuate with enough force to easily puncture armor and bone, his chances of escape are practically nil. Those who survive the impact of the razor bola find themselves entangled, helpless against the constructs and clockwork vessels of the Convergence that close in to methodically eliminate ensnared targets.

Thoughts on Mitigator

Mitigator in a nutshell

A light jack that can knockdown any model (or other models within the aoe) on a direct hit or that can make decent ranged shots to take out single wound targets. A deviating puncture is also great for infantry or high-def solos.

Combos & Synergies

• Units with flare : Cipher, Attunement Servitors. Often, flared enemies are good targets to hit with boosted attack rolls.
• Casters with decent RAT : Well, for convergence it would be Directrix, Orion or Syntherion.
• Servitors : Put them really close, and shoot them in the back. You sacrifice one servitor, but it's worth it to get a knockdown on a key model.
• Prime Axiom : Our beloved colossal always yearns for dragging and scrapping. Knocked down targets are easy to drag! Also a good way to spawn some friendly Attunement Servitors.
• Orion obviously Orion’s feat, spell piercer and high Rat help it hit infantry but reposition 3 also helps it avoid being charged and magic bullet will still trigger as normal.
• Eradicators if there is no single wound infantry worth shooting the gun can still set up the Eradicators finisher ability.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• It's a light vector, so poor defensive stats, and lackluster melee.
• Short range on the gun if you want to knockdown. If your target is in range, you're in charge range, a miss will be deadly.
• it’s unlikely to make its points back in a single round of shooting making the above issues more prevalent.
• With a ranged puncture attack it's a pain for Induction chains as it's hard to spend more than 1 focus for shooting.

Tricks & Tips

• Under Syntherion's feat, you can charge him at a target and then shoot something else, to give your short range aoe a little bit more threat.
• Puncture is outstanding against high-ARM, single-wound infantry formations, like Iron Fang Pikemen, Praetorian Karax, Bane Knights or Dawnguard Sentinels.
