Dirty Meg

Boasting a natural aptitude with machinery and a deadly swing with her warjack wrench, Dirty Meg fits right in among pirate crews. Her ability to keep everything from warjacks to the ship's boiler in perfect shape makes her invaluable, and her skills controlling warjacks in combat make her a feared and prized across the Iron Kingdoms.

Thoughts on Dirty Meg

Dirty Meg in a Nutshell

Dirty Meg is a cheap jack marshal with repair who happens to also be a Privateer. She can also shoot at warjacks to make them stationary. Her drive is both reposition and, importantly, Pathfinder. Because jack marshalling without power booster is fairly weak, she is usually a repair bot who takes the odd disruption shot.

Jack Marshal thoughts

Most players prefer to take her without a warjack, but she's a better marshal than most thanks to combos. First her drive is simply good; everyone likes Pathfinder. Second in Talion Charter she works with the Powder Monkey to combine cheap focus with a drive. And third she can work with Captain Phinneus Shae who hands out free charges.

If you're going to jack marshal something, there are a few good options:

• Talon - the cheap and tough melee light warjack you throw at the enemy and make them choke.
• Freebooter - the light warjack on steroids likes to be marshalled for the flat to hit buff. Also due to Lash and Iron Sentinel, she has a statline of 15/15 with no-knock down tough while base to base with it.
• The Scallywag is incredibly mobile and Gang Fighter makes it surprisingly hard hitting for assassinations or even denting the lighter heavies with the help of Crush.

Non-jack combos & synergies

She is of course a Privateer so Captain Phinneus Shae and Doc Killingsworth can both buff her.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• You're buying her for the jack marshal ability, not her own merits.
• If you want to repair non-merc warjacks you're probably better off with Colbie Sterling, Captain of the BRI instead. (Or possibly Moorclaw - but he lacks good drives at present)
• She is the only Privateer solo that doesn't work for Cryx.

Tricks & Tips

• Junker before her jack charges.
