"Use mid-range firepower to keep the enemy tied down, while a highly mobile combat unit flanks the enemy to get in at close range and rip the Vulgus to shreds with lethal force."

The aptly named "Hammer and Anvil" is a classic tactic that existed in Ingris even before the Apocalypse, but today it has been modernized by frontline soldiers and has produced remarkable results in smashing the thick armor of the Vulgus. However, this tactic has a number of limitations.

First of all, the anvil requires overwhelming firepower to suppress the Vulgus ground troops, but heavy weaponry cannot always be deployed since it does not allow for a quick disengagement. Furthermore, the capable mobile unit with the role of the hammer has shown a high mortality rate, making this tactic a difficult one to implement.

However, humanity is constantly being reinforced by Descendants, the ultimate tactical options capable of carrying out both roles, the hammer and the anvil. So, what they need now is...

"What else? A monster of a weapon that has both the hammer and the anvil in one piece!"
