Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Karkinos

Tactical analysis

 * Giant enemy crab: The Karkinos is a giant crab tamed by the Human designed for use against tanks and structures. Capable of keeping pace with their forces, the Karkinos two harpoon guns provide 180 degree arcs of fire on the front and back, allowing it to engage multiple targets or engage a single target in front of the Karkinos. And anyone dumb enough to engage in melee will learn how sharp its claws are


 * This is not how a crab walks: An alternate walk of the Karkinos trades speed for stability. This walk, apart from causing the Karkinos to walk forward instead of sideways, allows it to utilise the three bubble cannon broadsides mounted on the front of the howdah


 * Crabby armour: It should be noted that, while effective against vehicles, tanks, and structures, Karkinos are ill equipped to take on infantry and aircraft, and as such are best used in concert with units armed to handle such threats
