Strategy
Taggins's shield
Taggins works well as a support infantry unit, with average bulk, good range, and an excellent rate of fire. He can mow down numerous weaker enemies quickly, and can deal with flying enemies as well. However, his lack of pierce means that he will have a hard time wearing down armored enemies. His respawn is also pretty long, so you should retreat him when he is injured.
Personal shield is a very reliable way of tanking damage, since unlike the Diplomats' shields, it has unlimited health. However, it only lasts for a short while, so it should be timed properly. Use it when fighting a great number of enemies or charging through them.
Uranium Ammo makes Taggins several times more powerful for a few seconds, and is great for eliminating a particularly tough foe or enemy structure.
