Matriarch
The Matriarch is an imposing ARC machine, far more dangerous than The Queen. It can be found during specific map conditions. Key to defeating it are targeting its weak points (face plates and exposed core) and utilizing high ground for cover against its rocket barrage. Inside its energy shield is a good opportunity to damage its core.
