The XV104 'Riptide' is a type of heavy Tau Battlesuit. The pinnacle of Earth Caste battlesuit development, it stands twice the size of the XV8 Crisis Suit series. However, it nonetheless is an extremely agile and fast suit, being easily capable of outmaneuvering more crude Imperial walkers. Riptides are most commonly armed with a Heavy Burst Cannon or Fusion Blaster as well as a Riptide Shield Generator, giving firepower and protection to compliment their agility.[1]
