Tacticus Baraqiel – Deathwing Terminator

How To Use Baraqiel

Complete ‘Use Ability’ Objectives

Baraqiel’s Plasma Cannon can be used multiple times and only has a second of cooldown. This means that you can take a normal mission, preferably a boss fight so you have a lot of enemies, and then use Baraqiel to tank attacks and spam Plasma Cannon. With this technique, you can farm those “use ability X times” objectives easily. While it does take some time, you don’t have to spend a lot of resources just to satisfy a single objective.

Plop Him In the Middle

You can use Baraqiel to act as a tank to soak damage. From the get-go, you can teleport him to the middle of the field to impede the advance of enemies. If possible, use the terrain to reduce the damage further. Use this method to delay the enemy and get more favorable positions in a fight.
