Ivanski can use heavy weapons: Rocket and Grenade Launchers. Sitting Piper directly behind Ivanski is a useful formation: His size protects her from damage and you can immediately heal his health back up when things get risky, whilst both benefit from her damage buff. Toss on a healthpack as well and he can really take a beating.
Keep him at the front of your team as much as you can, and allow him to shield them from damage. With a larger hitbox and high health pool, Ivanski is a clear Tank character. Make sure you keep Sally levelled up so she can survive the late game! Kill Shot chains are crucial in the final stages of the game, almost required in my opinion. You don't need cover if everyone will already be dead! Soften the enemies up with your allies, then run Sally into an open space with Line of Sight to as many of them as possible. Give her the highest damage pistol you have, and a sidearm to soften tankier enemies. The limited range of Assault weapons make them far inferior to Handguns on Sally. With Mad Dog and good positioning, Sally can clear entire rooms in one turn, but keep in mind it can only be used once per mission. Don't change characters while aiming this second shot or you'll lose it! Then at only level 3, she also gains Mad Dog, which allows Kill Shot to trigger an unlimited amount of times for one turn. Kill Shot allows you to immediately take a second shot without ending your turn after landing a killing blow. Deadlier than she looks, at Level 1 Sally learns one of the most powerful abilities in the game: Kill Shot. Provided you've been getting decent ratings on the levels so far, you should gain Sally around a third of the way into the first zone. Obtained from the farm with high enough reputation. Take one if it provides better damage than what you currently have, but handguns and shotguns are often the better choice. I didn't find any use for SMGs on my whole playthrough.
This ability alone may make it worth holding onto them for longer, even when their damage is outclassed by your other weapons. There are a few rare shotguns that have the ability to pierce cover, which is extremely powerful if you can find them. Meaning they still add up to the exact same damage a similar tier handgun would, but with significantly worse accuracy. While these weapons fire multiple shots at once, the damage value is actually divided into each bullet. Seabrass can carry Assault class weapons: SMGs and Shotguns. If you have any grenades or weapons with splash damage, it can be useful to chip at his health with the edge of the explosion to activate Payback rather than allow enemies to attack him first. Seabrass gains the Payback ability on his first level up, granting temporary bonus attack damage each turn he gets hurt. Piper's longtime partner and friend, a handy source of damage to keep around. Being able to properly make use of your buff and deal adequate damage far outweighs the power of the laser sight. Use this pistol until you feel comfortable with the aiming mechanics, then swap it out for a better, higher damage Handgun as soon as you're able to. It's just not capable of handling the later enemies of the first zone, and you'll find yourself overwhelmed. But try not to depend on it too much, as the gun's low damage quickly becomes a problem. This sight allows you to easily experiment with bounces, and understand the swaying inaccuracy mechanic every weapon has. Piper starts with a beginner gun of sorts, a low damage sharpshooter pistol with a long laser sight. It's better to just give Piper the highest damage Handgun you have available at the time, keeping your damage in line with the increasing health pool of enemies is crucial.
This is really detrimental to Piper's ability set, preventing her from keeping up as her team moves forward. You can find more powerful Sharpshooters which deal equal or higher damage, but these can't be fired after moving. To compensate for this, they'll often have lower damage than Handguns of the same Tier. Sharpshooter weapons come with varying lengths of laser sights, showing you exactly where your shot will go, including after bounces. Piper can use Handguns (Basic weapon class anyone can use) and Sharpshooter weapons. Keeping her alive should be your top priority, at least until you blow the heal. You want to keep Piper close to your crewmates, such that she can easily run to and heal any injured allies, whilst they can serve as cover for her in turn. Powershot is a useful source of additional damage against heavier enemies, and early on Piper recieves a passive area buff with a heal ability.
