( Forge Part 1 )
( Forge Part 2 )
The Swineclops wasn't released when I wrote the second portion of this on Tumblr, but I imagine Emerson would be helpful there for the same "the tanks tend to die several times" reasons as Wilson. Libby's debuff doesn't work against melee attacks and he uses only those, so she would actually be less effective against him than against the Boarrior. I'd recommend giving Joss the Blacksmith's Edge at that point since her combustion works at least as well as a combo with the parry special as WX-78's shock, only it's damage-over-time rather than damage with a stun. Gareth's a good second tank for the Swineclops but his intangibility dodge means the Blacksmith's Edge is kinda wasted on him, so give him a hammer or something. Aggie is probably my third choice for a Swineclops tank, just because of their vast ocean of hit points.
