History Characters / GlobalAgenda

* DropTheHammer: At higher levels, an Assault can opt to swap their Radiant Axe for an Impact Hammer, which trades the Axe's ability to inflict recoil damage while blocking for much higher damage on it's own swings.

* AnAxeToGrind Their default melee weapon, the Radiant Axe is two-handed battleaxe with a made made of plasma that can ignite enemies struck from behind.

* HealingShiv: Beam Heal guns and Nanite guns. Not to be confused with their melee {{weapon of choice}} which does exactly what a shiv is supposed to do.

* CoolSword: The Recon's primary WeaponOfChoice when it comes to melee combat is the Ghost Sword, a laser-carved blade that deals critical damage when targeting an enemy's back.

* DualWielding: Dual Daggers. [[OneHandedZweihander Which don't look like daggers at all]].

%%* CoolSword

%%* GlassCannon: When sniping, naturally.
%%* HitAndRunTactics - Meleecons and Bombercons LIVE on this.
%%* FragileSpeedster - For higher level 'cons, {{whoring}} out mass cooldown mods on Bionics device, which turns you into [[Franchise/TheFlash Flash lite]] for ~15 seconds, is actually a very popular ''defensive'' strategy.
* InvisibilityCloak - With an added bonus of greatly increasing either movement speed or jump distance when it's active.
* InvisibilityFlicker - Recons pop out of their InvisibilityCloak for a brief moment when tossing a bomb or using an ability.
* LandMineGoesClick - Played by bombs that have a [[TimeBomb 3-sec time counter]] that conveniently appears above them prior to detonation. Averted with actual mines. They take a few seconds to arm after being dropped and will wait until there are no enemies in proximity before arming. After that the best you can hope for is seeing the mine and going OhCrap the moment before it explodes.
* SniperDuel - When snipercons get angry at each other.

* PoisonedWeapons: The Agonizer, one of the Medic's unique ranged weapons, fires poison-lazed "bolts" of...whatever it is, inflicting a poison-based debuff on enemies hit which slightly reduce their damage resistance and healing received.

* AgonyBeam: The Pain Gun.

* HandCannon: As an alternative to their standard rifle, Medics can opt to bring a variety of large handguns as their primary ranged weapon,
* JackOfAllStats: Many consider Medics to be this, due to how well-rounded their arsenal of poisons and healing devices is and they don't really have to sacrifice their healing ability for offense.

%% * DropTheHammer

* [[FlamingSword Flaming Axe]] - Assault's unique melee weapon, the [[AnAxeToGrind Radiant Axe]]. Its edge is MADE of fire. It cuts things by ''burning through them''.

* MagikarpPower - For the first few levels, Assaults are underwhelmingly weak, with no self-sustain options unlike Robotics or Medics and unable to pick off enemies from beyond their reach like Recons. Once you get enough skill points to invest into their class-specific massive health bonuses and unlock weapons of different types, they become the most demanded class on the battlefield.
* MightyGlacier - As an exception to the "even base stats" rule (see CompetitiveBalance below), they have slightly slower movement speed and much larger bodyframes than other classes, but [[{{BFG}} compensate for it]].

* MoreDakka - Related to above GatlingGood. iMiniguns and Inferno Cannons fall into this trope.
* PlayingWithFire - Magmalance Recoilless Rifle, Inferno-X Cannon, Heatwrack Maser, Radiant Axe.
* SpamAttack - Power Stim lets you do this with anything, most notably grenade launchers.
* SplashDamage - Assaults specced into the more [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]] style of the Destroyer tree are good at this.
* StoneWall - If you choose to build yourself entirely as a tank and ignore offensive skills, you get this.
** A tank assault can be dangerous with their minigun or inferno cannon. They just do not have the punch to really kill a target on their own. Usually, the tank will end up weakening it where one of the damage dealing players will come in and mop it up. Tanks have few kills but LOTS of assists.

* AgonyBeam - The Pain Gun.
* CombatMedic
* DeadlyDoctor - One of their skills is even called Death Medic.
* HealingShiv - Beam Heal guns and Nanite guns. Not to be confused with their melee {{weapon of choice}} which does exactly what a shiv is supposed to do.
* JackOfAllStats - Many consider Medics to be this, due to how well-rounded their arsenal of poisons and healing devices is and they don't really have to sacrifice their healing ability for offense.
* LifeDrain - The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Life Stealer]] melee weapon, and the Soul Stealer grenade.
* TheMedic
* PlayingWithSyringes - Medics get a[[strike:n oversized combat knife with a built-in]] syringe with blades tacked onto it as their melee weapon. It's aptly called the "Poison Injector". Then there's a pimped-out version dubbed the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Life Stealer]], which looks like a portable steam-powered blood pump.

* DualWielding - Dual Daggers. [[{{BFS}} Which don't look like daggers at all]].
%%* GlassCannon - When sniping, naturally.

* LaserBlade

%%* AnAxeToGrind
%%* TheBigGuy

%%* DropTheHammer

%%* {{BFG}} - All of the Assault's specialty weapons.

%%* FoeTossingCharge - The "Super Smash" LimitBreak.

* MagikarpPower - For the first few levels, Assaults are underwhelmingly weak. Once you get enough skill points to invest into their class-specific massive health bonuses and unlock weapons of different types, they become the most demanded class on the battlefield.
