Dreadnought, the “Walking Tank,” is a risky Frontline siege engine. Every time he uses his Skills, he generates heat, which helps him as much as it hinders him. Careful use of his Skills is key in unleashing his ultimate power at just the right moment!

finally UAF!!! i just wished he was biochem though. UAF really needs biochem heroes. kinda becomes a problem in bounties.

regarding his skills, i wish there’s a way to deplete his charges.
