Description
From Minecraft! You know him, you love him, and now you can build little robot clones that will do your bidding! Well not exactly, as it behaves like a Boomer, so while it offers no gameplay advantage, it does let fly your Minecraft flag up high. Thanks Notch!
Characteristics[]
The Creeper is a skin of Boomer which runs at enemy targets and explodes, dealing heavy damage in a small area. Good for hitting enemies that are grouped together and distracted.
Advantages
- Effective in small groups.
- Deals Heavy damage
Disadvantages
- Is very weak to light units and infantry counters, such as Gatty or Jackal.
- Must walk into melee range to explode
- Requires a few seconds to arm the explosive on sighting an enemy.
Good Loadouts
- Works well with fast mechs like Neo, Striker, or Saucer to drop them close and distract enemies.
- Effective with push-oriented loadouts
Notes[]
The Creeper will increase its move speed when it locks onto an enemy unit, and will run up next to them and explode. Once they are prepping their explosion, they will still self-destruct even if the enemy unit is picked up or moved. If a Creeper dies before exploding, it still does a bit of damage, although it is substantially less than full damage.
The Creeper is a cosmetic variant of the Boomer. There are no gameplay or statistical differences between the two.
Trivia[]
- The developers released a video showcasing the Creepers when they were released ingame, which can be viewed Here.
