A quick guide to the Tech two units of XTA

Arm Kbots

Zipper

Tech 1.5, quick but weak, has ability to Stealth for 50 Energy a second.

Has high Los but only useful if enemy has limited defences/firepower.

Warrior

Best used in groups of 3-5 for quick raiding parties or harassing.

Quite low health but enough to get past enemy lines.

Can out range Commander, if microed well one can easily kill a Commander.

In many ways a cross between Tech one Peewee and Zipper.

Fido

Medium range Artillery Kbot, pretty accurate and good damage for cost.

Not heavily armoured so keep away from enemy fire.

Can be used with Commander/Decoy like a Jethro line, if in numbers.

Fairly fast and can fire on move so good for "kiting" or hit and run.

Loses accuracy when moving, so best used in groups.

In one sense, a cross between a Hammer and Jethro, but faster.

Zeus

Low range, high armour fairly high damage but slow Kbot.

Avoid Commanders at all cost, only use once Commander is dead (or as bait).

Good for breaking defences.

Recieves a 10% armour increase if gun is packed (it unpacks to fire).

Pelican

An Amphibious Kbot with Anti Air and small laser.

Treated by type map as a Hovercraft.

Has a Tech one missle and a quick firing laser.

Good in swarms but avoid heavy contact.

Only Tech two kbot with Anti Air.

Maverick

High Energy cost, low health but very high DPS.

Fast firing plasma shots that do high damage, range is just less than Jethro.

Good with Commander healing but keep away from close quater combat.

Very good at killing Commanders due to high accuracy (with LoS) and damage.

Best in groups of three, with healing support or supporting close quater units.

Sniper

Long range support unit, slow but very high damage.

Has the ability to Cloak at a high E cost, also costs Energy to fire.

Good against Structures and will hit most times if you have LoS.

Will hit a radar dot nearly every time if you have three Radar Targetting Facilities.

Commanders have a damage tag against this unit. (They do less damage).

Raven

Longest ranged Kbot, outranges even Popup.

Very inaccurate but fires six missles.

Can cause for huge damage if multiple shots hit.

Costs Energy to fire.

Very high Metal cost to build, most expensive Arm Kbot.

Best used against concentrated amounts of units or to suppress an enemy.
