Description
The Hyper SAM is a alternate unit. Currently they do nothing but in the past they had alternate stats.
Characteristics[]
The Hyper SAM is the classic rocket infantry. It doesn't specialize in any particular fields, but is a solid infantry to take if you are looking for something more durable than a Soldier to take down heavy units and defend an outpost.
Advantages
- Hyper SAM has high damage and a high armor piercing value, making it effective against enemy tanks.
- Can quickly neutralize an outpost no matter what infantry occupy it, and are light enough to be carried in groups of four.
- Can provide a stop-gap between Standard Infantry, and powerful Level 4 Creeps
- Effective against Airmechs; can provide useful Anti-air support.
Disadvantages
- An expensive infantry, and takes a while to build.
- Not very well-armored for its price
- Slow Movement speed
Good Loadouts
- Great synergy with Boxer
- Popular choice with Sergeant
- Works well as support in a general, tank-heavy loadout
Notes[]
Many people overlook the Hyper SAM and instead choose fancier specialized infantry, but the Hyper SAM is easy to use and is very effective for everything you would want an infantry to do.
