Playstyle differences
Nightingale fights with funnel pressure and a long reach. It can make a target move before it commits, which is exactly what a raid needs when the enemy line is set. Its mass means it survives mistakes that would remove a lighter suit.
Penelope offers a different kind of presence. Its flight-capable frame lets it arrive from angles that ground-bound raids cannot use, and its close-range package is built to end a fight once it lands. The approach itself is the risky part.
Nightingale should deny Penelope the air route with sustained fire and keep the fight at a height it controls. Penelope should pick a route that arrives behind or above, and avoid crossing open ground while the funnel suite is still active.
Both suits are expensive to lose. Trading one for a support is usually correct; trading one for a lone general is almost always wrong. Keep that math in mind before every commit.
