What is the use of heavy armor? (lemm.ee)

I normally use medium armor, and if I want to be extra fast I use light armor.

Don't get me wrong, I like the looks of chunkier armor, it is more my style.

But what is the use for heavy armor? I understand you are tougher to kill, but I am always left behind because it is slower.

Also I am still thrown around with explosions and I can't still be killed easily when overwhelmed, which I can avoid with medium or light armor by just healing constantly and running away.

So in what situations or what is the tactical advantage of heavy armor?

I only use it on defense missions where I don't have to run. And even then, half the time I forget to set it. I like the light armor best, specifically the Legionnaire Armor so I can yeet stratagems super far.

Oh definitely super fun to destroy bot factories with eagle air strikes from so far away haha, and just move to the next bot factory.

Second the legionnaire strategy. Eagle air strike strategem and I take out the outposts before they ever see me.

+30% throwing range and orbital barrages. Let the mayhem commence!
