a more in-depth look into the assault trooper.

as a protectorate heavy trooper, he has more health than most soldiers but his strong armor and larger gun hamper movement, this is further compounded when he deploys. his greaves lower recoil spades with spike diggers into the ground from the rear in order to make his feet larger while still giving him some degree of movement but slowing him down as a result, especially with the spikes digging in.

the confederate counterpart is the plasma sprayer trooper. the difference lies in how they eviscerate other soldiers and their special ability, if applicable. plasma sprayers function similarly to flamethrowers but has slightly longer reach and some degree of armor penetration. the protectorate trooper's weapon allows him to engage aircraft and soldiers at a much longer range and to a degree, light armoured vehicles.
