Dragon
Dwarf can either go with an azure or onyx. Azure’s noble blood works quite good on the mechs and as always onyx’s black hole are always great.
As dwarfs are quite offensive using an Onyx is more preferred. You can also use a jade to protect the snipers but Onyx and azure perform better than jade.
