What the Ironclad Tank does
The Ironclad Tank breaks formation and glides directly in front of your ship. For 10 seconds it absorbs all enemy bullets, lasers and debris, then retreats to recharge.
It's the most reliable defensive companion.
How to use it
- Use it for heavy bullet patterns and asteroid fields.
- Stay behind it while it's deployed, and hit back from cover.
