Units of this class will either have a high rate of fire or a large AoE, sometimes both. They excel at crowd control, slaying huge amounts of lighter units such as raiders. Pro tip: Giving an Attack Move order to your skirmishers will have the Unit AI kite enemies automatically as needed.Ĭommon examples: Ronin, Rogue, Recluse, Moderator, Scalpel, Buoy The strength of the skirmisher lies in its ability to shoot without fear of retaliation-always maximize this advantage by using the technique known as kiting (moving away as shorter-ranged enemies attempt to close the distance). Skirms have light armor, and rely on their speed and range (as well as the protection of nearby friendlies) for defense. They support your forces by picking off enemies at a distance, before they can do damage.
As its name suggests, the assault class excels at attacking enemy strong points.Ĭommon examples: Knight, Thug, Ravager, Hermit, Minotaur They usually have fairly slow turrets and projectiles, making them better against slow, large, or static enemies than fast moving raiders or gunships. A useful mainline unit, the assault class is favored for its staying power and ease of use. Flanking skirmisher/artillery/support unitsĬommon examples: Glaive, Bandit, Scorcher, Pyro, Blitz, Dagger, DuckĪssault units rely on their high armor to tank damage.Pro tip: The Unit AI can automatically micro your raiders to jink enemy shots if you give them an Attack Move order. They also come in handy for scouting, although a dedicated scout is better for the task. The primary uses for raiders are harassment attacks to interfere with an enemy's economy, brute-forcing a particularly weak point in the enemy's lines, and taking out inaccurate units such as artillery which cannot hit them. Raiders generally have a high DPS for their cost, but they also have poor armor and range.
They personify blitzkrieg tactics-sheer firepower and the speed needed to get it into the enemy's heartland.
