When playing together, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to soak up damage. Combined, these two will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

Regardless of the skill of your Nautilus teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
