===Frontline / Brawler === Often the first to openly engage the enemy in direct battle, these medium and heavy mechs have the power, durability and sustainability to engage the enemy and see the fight through to the end. The Brawler is a mean machine that sacrifices range to focus on speed, power, durability and often heat management. This mech bridges the gap between the Striker and Frontline types. While the Brawler can perform a frontline role when it's possible to close the distance safely, they will often remain in the second line at first, serving a defensive role of protecting the larger slower mechs from packs of light mechs. When the fight is truly under way the Brawlers will switch to an aggressive approach, closing the distance to apply heavy pressure and overwhelm engaged foes. Because they must often commit to a battle once they engage, Brawlers will often have good heat management so that they don't run out of steam before they can secure the kill. Where the Brawler is like a heavier Striker, a Frontliner is like a lighter Assault or slower tankier Skirmisher. Compared to a Brawler they have less speed, but place an even greater focus on durability and often battle at mid-range rather than short, and may even have some long range capabilities. The Frontline mechs' job is to engage the enemy and survive long enough to allow other mechs to do their jobs. They are the mechs that will take over for a damaged Assault, sharing armour and making sure the team doesn't get run over. Because they will be directly engaged with the enemy often, Frontliners are expected to have decent damage potential.
