Description
HALLOWEEN EXCLUSIVE. Slightly disturbing, this customized Runner looks like a human skeleton than the original robot design. Was it for a joke, or perhaps part of an old amusement park attraction? No matter, the plans include the same weapons as the original Runner, so it's good to go!
Characteristics[]
The Skeleton Runner is a modified Soldier that exchanges survivability and firepower for movespeed. Effective for scouting and capturing outposts.
Advantages
- Skeleton Runner has the second fastest move speed of any infantry, after Probe.
- It's high speed and low build speed makes it great for quickly filling an outpost.
- Has higher DPS than Soldier, but has a lower armor piercing.
Disadvantages
- Particularly vulnerable to AoE attacks.
- Not effective at defending against assaults due to low health and armor.
Good Loadouts
- Skeleton Runner works best in an aggressive loadout with small units. Units such as Flakker and Patcher have synergy with this infantry.
- Needs larger defensive units to protect the outpost once the Runners take control of it.
Notes[]
A Skeleton Runner's chances of successfully capturing an outpost can be inconsistent due to many factors such as enemy presence and support from friendly forces, as well as being intercepted by an enemy Airmech.
Trivia[]
- Collecting at least 15 of the Halloween Set items provides the player with a Pumpkin Badge for as long as they have them.
