HEAVY COMBATS-TIER METARANKED B

MARATHON
DESTROYER GUIDE

"Frontline DPS. Tank damage, deal damage, hold ground."

Destroyer is Marathon's heavy frontline shell. Built for sustained fights, it trades mobility for firepower and survivability. If Assassin picks engagements, Destroyer ends them — by standing in the middle and winning the DPS race.
