The Fatboy is a massive walking fortress. It carries heavy offensive capabilities and can sustain itself with repair bots. Historically Fatboys have been among the most destructive units in the game, capable of pushing through defensive lines on their own.
Four perfectly micro-managed repair bots on a Fatboy create an extremely durable siege unit. The constant repairing offsets incoming damage, turning the Fatboy into a nearly unstoppable advance force. This setup requires active management but rewards skilled players heavily.
Fatboys are not invincible. Focus fire from multiple sources overwhelms the repair capacity. Hit the unit from multiple angles simultaneously to split the repair bot workload. Long-range artillery and sniping units that outrange the repair bots can also wear it down before it engages.
Handling experimental units requires team coordination. One player holds the line while others focus fire. Creed of Champions specializes in this kind of organized defense, where communication and discipline turn overwhelming threats into manageable ones.
