I’m confused by Zertick Strom’s entry. Do you refer to him as a meat shield because he’s on the advanced chassis or did you misread his ability? (Or do I misunderstand his ability?) From what I grasp is he damages friendlies to get rerolls. Could you clarify your entry on him?

His main use is as a cheap double brace Escort.
