Tesserari are the Cabal's foremost radio experts and field tacticians trusted with expanding the Cabal Battle Network.

Overview

Originally, the role of Tesserarius was reserved for a secondary command unit that filled the role of Centurion should a file lose their commanding officer, and was meant for one well-versed in combat orders and in making comprehensive commands in the Battle Network. With advancements in the Cabal Battle Network through the incorporation of Vex technologies and chemical innovations, the Neon Wraiths weaponsmiths would find breakthroughs and develop armor suites and amplification devices for their ground forces to utilize. These technologies would find themselves in the hands of these Tesserari, making their role a far more prominent one in the Cabal military hierarchy.

Gameplay

Superficially, a Tesserarius is a far more resilient Legionary unit distinct from their frontline counterparts and capable of taking increased punishment. However, upon engagement, the Tesserarius will place down a device that creates a long-reaching aura that slowly heals nearby Cabal units, makes their projectiles fly faster and heightens their combat aggression. The Tesserarius can replace these devices should they expire, so Guardians should often prioritize their elimination if they are present in a Cabal squad.
