Buckler Ironclad Best Use, Timing, And Extraction Value

Buckler Ironclad feels expensive from the start. Between the 5000 HP, the siege-only profile, and the 70 mm turret, this is not the enemy you casually test yourself on. If your heavy pressure is ready, the kill can be worth building around. If it is not, driving past is usually the better call.

Buckler Ironclad Limits

This is a rough fight to improvise. If the build cannot really handle it before contact, trying to force the issue is usually how the run starts going wrong.
