Ten Ton Hammer continues their series on the Tabula Rasa Engineer with this insightful look at effective field tactics. How should you use your defensive skills and when is it best to hack an enemy machine? Where does the extremely valuable Polarity Gun fit into all this? We have everything you need to know to become a better Engineer just inside.

Hack has been mentioned as a tool to do this when your turrets are shooting a machine you don't want them using, but it has other uses too. Wait for a Stalker to advance over the top of enemy troops and then hack it. As soon as it detects enemies at it's feet, regardless of the target it has picked to attack, it will drop it's bomb scattering the Bane underneath and drawing their aggro. Bane Turrets are also capable of drawing aggro for a while. Even hacking a Shield Drone can draw some but more importantly allow your turrets to fire through the shield without penalty and thin out your enemies faster.

Having skills is only half the battle, you need to know how to use them. Take a look at our guide to learn more. Also be sure to stop by our forums to learn more about this and other Tabula Rasa news.
