  • Make excellent compliments to artillery, and can even help defend your units against long-range units.
  • Due to their ability to take orders, Ultimate Shooters can compliment large armies as ranged support, and can be used to defend outposts against long-range attacks.

Disadvantages

Notes[]

Ultimate Shooters left uncontested in large clumps can quickly take down whole defensive lines on their own. They can be strategically placed on the outskirts of the map to cause a distraction for your enemy. However, their extraordinary weak armor, low health, and tendency to clump together, make the Ultimate Shooter extraordinary vulnerable to AoE attacks, Such as Melee from Mechs like Striker and Bomber, as well as several area-damage weapons, such as Bombs.

Trivia[]
