Know your opponent...and your weapons

To win a battle, you must know the weakness of your target, you might win by shear force without hitting their weak spot, but it will just take so much longer...

As a TKM, I have very limited weapon choice. Well, actually I have only one weapon: Vibro Knuckler, so I can only deal one kind of damage - Kinetic. So, if my target has specially protection - like Janta Stoneshaper or Nightsister Elder that are 100% resist to kinetic damage, I'm out of luck, totally. I did fight a Stoneshaper before, it took me like 40 minutes, with the help of a combat droid, it's aren't pretty...

Now that I'm a Commando, I have a wide range of weapons at my disposal, choose the right weapon for a particular target is crucial:

Launcher Pistol , Rocket Launcher - blast damage
Flame Thrower - heat damage
Heavy Acid Rifle, Acid Stream Launcher - acid damage
Lightning Beam Cannon - electric damage
Heavy Particle Beam Cannon - energy damage
