Missing item Defiler Thread - Tiberium Essence Fans

After the defiler took his place in TE mod, there is made something missing what it can use.
Just like the Stalwards got a knife to hit anything on close. Why does not use the Defiler his big tusks on units like that?

That would make him different from all other artillery right away, because he do can attack units up close. (it's a kind of animal anyway)

What kinds of targets are effective against its tusks?

Guess most, just like the stalwarts can use it against everything.

The best effect is most on tanks of course because the tusks are so big.

So basically an AT anti structure unit?

Like all artillery they can shoot far distance. if the defiler use melee ability against tanks that like to come close, it got something all other artillery does not have.
and so it's right a different kind from the others

ummm... not sure I agree on this... I actually think the defiler is pretty good as it is...

it makes sense, but balance wise i kinda agree with arbiter, its artillery gun is good against buildings and infantry, and it has a short ranged anti tank weapon? that would make it a bit hard to kill.especially if guarded with AA units.

I would probably rather add some attack rate,movement speed upgrades than getting new weapons. But why not. Certainly he could use his tusks to ram the buildings or vehicles. But dont change him on Ultralisk.
