User blog comment:Undead RVD/Battle of The Worst Humanity has to Offer! The Grineer vs Cerberus/@comment-4248317-20130616195055

I give this to Cerberus, but just barely. It is clear that the Grineer have a far larger variety of troops, and all of them are highly powerful. However, Cerberus has a few key factors that I feel make up for their shortcomings:


 * On the whole, they are faster than the Grineer, with such units as the Dragoons and Phantoms being especially quick (and the latter's ability to cloak).


 * As seen in the games, the Atlas mech requires a great deal of effort to take down; its shields and armor should be able to protect it from the Grineer's guns (especially with other Cerberus troops keeping them busy), and blow them away with machine guns and missles.


 * Despite Cerberus' status as a paramilitary terrorist group, they are more than capable of holding their own in a straight-up firefight, even against "stronger" opponents. This is evident in ME3, when Cerberus not only attacks several worlds that Shepard is attempting to aid, but also when they launch an all-out assault on the Citadel itself, the center of the galactic government. Despite resistence from C-Sec, as well as every other form of resistence on the Citadel, they almost took it over (the arrival of Shepard and his crew was the only thing that prevented their victory). In addition, they managed to take over Omega, dispite resistence from all the powerful gangs that inhabited it.


 * The Adjutants, in my opinion, may be one of Cerberus' greatest assets in this fight. Their powerful armor and barriers will help protect them from the Grineer's attacks, while their biotics will catch them off guard. In addition, they can infect Grineer troops, turning them into new Adjutants, adding to Cerberus' strength while simultaniously reducing the Grineer's.
