Gorghadratron

Nothing demonstrates the military manufacturing capabilities of UberCorp International better than its gigantic weaponized hardware platforms, each customized to monstrous configurations. Gorghadratron brings the raw obliterating power of the so-called “Planet Eaters” to anyone with sufficient funds to commit to an exclusive purchaser’s license. Built with innovative polymers and alloys derived from recovered xenoexobiological materials, Gorghadratron is as durable as it is lethal, with longevity assured by the recommended 10-year UberCorp maintenance contract, purchased separately. UberCorp cannot be held responsible for any collateral damage incurred by overloading Gorghadratron’s reactors.

Strategy

Gorghadratron has a very wide range of solutions to the various problems you may be presented with as a pilot, but they're all somewhat shallow. He provides a solid SPD buff through Motivator that is spatially constrained, a good power generating tool through Power Sink, and a somewhat middling alpha screen clear through Flak Field [2]. He does have a RNG 5 blast attack and Power Drain on his brawl attack in alpha, but that's as far as he goes. These are all good tools to have when they're needed, but they're difficult to build around. This is compounded by the fact that his hyper, while potentially strong if he is the first of your monsters to go down, is limited to a mere 4 hp. Multi-fire with an accurate blast attack that does super damage is nuts if he can manage to land his shots into both of your opponent's monsters, but that situation is difficult to engineer, especially with your opponent working against you at every turn. While Entropic Presence is exceptionally powerful at times, it is also very match-up dependent making it another tool that may not always be useful.

List Building

There are ways to try to lower the DEF of enemy units which may be useful when trying to make the most out of Flak Field [2]. The Charghoul lowers the DEF of all adjacent units by 1 with Char, and the Ivory Tower special rule on the Corporate Headquarters also lowers the DEF of adjacent units by 1. Partners that can move either of these around the map can be quite useful in ensuring that Flak Field [2] functions as a reliable alpha screen clear.
