Revision as of 19:38, 6 August 2020
AirMech has a wide variety of units to construct with differing purposes, as well as a number of alternates, ultimates and Cosmetic Variants. Most units can be given order to capture outposts, attack the enemy fortress or patrol. Built units can be picked up at a fortress or friendly Outposts.
For more information about how to build and use units, see these pages on carrying, orders, and the HUD.
Compare the statistics of the different units with this spreadsheet.

Infantry
All Infantry units attempt to capture Outposts, though a handful prioritize other tasks first, such as healing friendly units or destroying enemy units. Infantry are the only units that can enter and capture Outposts, filling the empty slot in each corner of the outpost until all slots are full and the outpost switches to friendly. If enemy infantry occupy any slots, friendly infantry will destroy them before entering. After all Outposts on the map are captured, Infantry advance toward the enemy's Fortress. Most infantry can take orders.
As a hidden stat, all infantry have a chance to dodge shots from tanks. If an infantry unit dodges a shot, the tank shot will simply miss the unit entirely, even if the infantry is standing completely still. This makes infantry useful as support when attacking tanks. This dodge change is lowered for the Butcher and Brute, and does not apply to infantry stationed or bunkered in outposts.
- Assassin - Infantry with cloaking ability, melee only.
- Boomer - Bomb-carrying suicide infantry;. single use, high damage.
- Brute - The Goliath of infantry. Cannot be built until level 5. 2 Upkeep.

Vehicles
Vehicles are lighter and cheaper versions of tanks. They are used for quickly attacking Outposts in high amounts or at the back of a tank push. They have a chance to spawn infantry upon their death, so they can quickly take over a neutralised outpost.
- Zipper - The fastest vehicle, chance to spawn a runner on death.
- Tango - A zipper with a sidecar, chance to spawn two runners on death.
- Boxer - APC that can carry up to 4 Infantry; effective damage soaker. Has the lowest vehicle speed.

Tanks are your main source of damage output and damage absorbency. They can both take a lot of damage and deal a lot of damage. They also take double damage from behind.
- Armadillo - Low cost, all around fast. A light tank. Can almost kill everything with any problems when its massed (10 to 25 units). Dies instantly when a Heavy Mine explodes.

Turrets
Turrets are completely immobile, usually able to rotate, and can be placed on sockets to heal themselves and double their combat abilities. They have multiple uses, but usually specialise in destroying certain types of unit. They function when they are not on sockets, but receive bonuses when placed on one. For example: turrets cost no upkeep when placed on sockets (though they will cost upkeep if they are moved off-socket or the corresponding outpost is neutralised).
- Aegis - Missile-destroying laser. Great against Helix AtG (Air to Ground), but cannot destroy as many missiles of 2 Seeker or Stinger. 2 Upkeep
- T45 - A lighter and cheaper version of the T99. 2 Upkeep
- T99 - Heavy anti-tank and anti-air turret. 3 Upkeep
- Gatty - Infantry killing mini-gun. Can deal considerable damage to tanks on their rear (-50% armor). 2 Upkeep
- Sentry Turret - Anti-infantry turret. (Acts as a lighter/cheaper Gatty; has a line of sight) 1 Upkeep
- Tesla Tower - Fires an large lightning bolt that hits multiple enemies and slows them. It can also apply a stasis effect on enemy AirMechs. 2 Upkeep
- Pepper - Fires bursts of dumbfire missiles, anti-tank turret but can only fire in a small arc similar to artillery. 2 Upkeep
Artillery
Artillery take time to acquire their targets via aiming while having a relatively high vision range. They fire splash damage shells that fly in an arc, but they cannot attack targets close to them. Like Turrets, artillery do not cost upkeep when placed on sockets.
- Arty - Standard artillery, deals more splash damage. Cannot defeat Archy (As the damage its the same, but its splash acts like Bertha but with really less range)
- Archy - Slightly longer range than Arty, deals more direct damage.
- Bertha - Uber artillery which can only be built from level 7 or higher.
Support
The Support category holds a variety of different units that are used to support a tank line or AirMech. They aren't main units and have more specialised roles, but are still very important.
Anti-Air
Anti-Air are used to deter AirMechs in ground and air form. They range from missiles to instant fire, and can be mobile or stationary.
- Flakker - Lightly armoured, mobile anti-air truck, direct shots.
- HAAT - Heavy anti-air turret (Costs no upkeep when placed on a socket)
- Seeker - Mobile anti-air, has slow missiles. Even if they dont hit directly the target (Mechs) theres a lot of chance of getting hit by the extra-splash of the missile. Splash damage its the same than hitting directly. Can damage 2 mechs if they are enough close.
- Stinger - Anti-air turret, missiles (Costs no upkeep when placed on a socket.)
- Gorgon - Tank with HAAT capabilities. Very heavily armoured.
Repair
Healing units that repair nearby units and disarm mines.
- Honeypot - Immobile and expensive, but has fastest heal rate, the most health and can be placed on sockets for bonuses.
- Patcher - A low cost, healing and mine-disarming unit.
- Ratchet - Average cost, healing and mine-disarming unit.
- Hero - Low cost and low health, is an air unit. It will follow the player around and heal them when damaged.
- Fixer - Repairing and mine-disarming infantry.
Tank Destroyers
Made to destroy tanks, these units are high health damage soaking front line units.
- Grinder - Giant drill tank destroyer, takes double damage from behind.
- Roller - Higher armoured tank destroyer and mine roller.
- Buster - Low HP, high damage, tank destroyer.
Jamming
Support units that "hide" nearby units on the radar.
- Jammer - Low cost radar jamming unit.
- Sonya - Average cost radar jamming unit.
- Dinger - high cost and range; stationary.
Mines
Mines cannot move and may be disarmed by healing units and Roller. Light Mines and Heavy Mines have an arm time that is reset if a unit collides with them before the arm time is completed. In contrast, Stasis Mines and Bear Traps do not have an arm time.
- Bear Trap - Traps infantry and does damage over time, cannot be shot.
- Light Mine - Short arming time and detonation, weak damage.
- Heavy Mine - Long arming time (10-11 Sec) and detonation, Can not be triggered by AirMechs or infantry. (Zipper can run out of this mine, keeping itselt alive and detonating the explosive)
- Stasis Mine - Slows units that walk over it, and connects to up to 2 others to make a stasis field.
Socket Units
Socket Units only function while on a friendly pad. They give bonuses to you and your teammates, such as increased income, or unit cap.
- Bot Spawner - Spawns creeps that are the same as fortress creeps.
- Generator - Recharges energy of nearby Mechs- Does not require a socket to function.
- Money Maker - Generates credits at a constant rate.
- Lunchbox - Creates a shield around outposts and forts.
- Whopper - Increases your maximum upkeep.
Credit boxes
Credit boxes generate interest when placed on the ground, and may be placed on a pad to enable health regeneration and faster interest generation . Income is not automatically acquired, instead a player must pick the box up and sell it, which will give the player the normal selling price plus interest, depending on how long it was on the field. Can also be used to transfer credits between teammates or as an expensive wall.
Flying Units
Support
Supportive flying units have no offensive capabilities, instead giving buffs to your units, such as healing or radar.
- Hero - Repair unit, only can heal Airmechs.
- Skyeye - Provides a minimap radar in the area where it is stationed.
Offense
Offensive flying units do damage to the enemy AirMech and units in the area.
- Baloom - Seeking air mine, explodes upon contact with an enemy AirMech.
Infantry
Flying infantry units are able to capture buildings, although they must land in order to do so, and can also be assigned orders like regular infantry. However, unlike regular infantry, they also have the ability to fly.
AirMech Units
Guardians
Guardians are your own personal assistant in AirMech that orbit around you. Each provides one special benefit, albeit not a huge boost. They are equipped in the Hangar and bought ingame on the right side of the Ability bar. Guardians don't heal over outposts, and die if they receive enough damage. Once a guardian dies, you have to wait patiently for it to respawn. There is no smoke indicator to show how much health the Guardian has, and an Osprey cannot heal a Guardian. You can equip a maximum of 3. (OUTDATED)
- Repair Guardian - Provides healing for the AirMech that it orbits.
- Blaster Guardian - Provides extra firepower for the AirMech but uses more energy.
- Radar Guardian - Provides extra radar range to all friendly AirMechs.

- Blade Guardian - Deals melee damage to enemy units when in range of it.
Boltons
Boltons attach to the AirMech directly, giving benefits.
- Booster - Drains energy, lost if the AirMech transforms or runs out of energy, increases air speed and carry capacity/speed.

Unit Alternates
Unit Alternates can be currently only be crafted using the nanoforge, they are permanent variants. Unit Alternates that have been found in the old drop system have limited uses.
These units can not be bought from the shop, but could be found after any game as a result of the random drop system in stacks of 3 or 5 depending on unit type. Players may buy additional stacks for kudos or unlock it permanently for 270 Diamonds. Stacked items consume a (1) count each time they are used in a completed game, online or offline.
These units have altered statistics in Wastelands, but are treated like regular units in Strike.
