BombSquad Kyle Constructor
"This new set of armor is the bomb diggity!" - Kyle
BombSquad Kyle is the first hero since the Hero Loadout change in Season 8, that provides us a Hero with straight up Armor/Damage Resistance that can be used stand alone or as a support for other hero loadouts. First found in the event store for 2,800 gold after patch 8.30. He is listed in the collection book under Stowaways in the Event Heroes tab under Blakebeard's Crew.
His perk, Bomb Suit, gives the hero 66 Armor (40% damage resistance) as the commander and 22 Armor (18% damage resistance) as a support hero. It has a 100% uptime.
Overall BombSquad Kyle has one of the coolest skins in the game IMHO and ends up being one of the tankiest builds in the game on paper with a massive amount of innate damage resistance. If you're having trouble staying alive, he can provide one avenue of providing added survivability to your builds.
This hero is a blank canvas when it comes to build styles. You could really turn him into just about any kind of specialty you could think of, while enjoying a lot more survivability than you normally would. My personal favorite play style with him is to focus on more of the melee aspects of constructor play styles. What will you do with your build(s)?
