Fast energy cavalry. A strong raider.
Use this unit in an attacking force or defending garrison. Choose its damage category against the enemy's defenses, and compare its protection with the attacks you expect to face.
Its highest per-unit defense is against energy attacks; its lowest is against kinetic. Reinforce the weaker matchup with suitable defenders instead of assuming one troop type covers every threat.
For a different attack category in this Race's roster, compare Aegis Runner, Aegis Sniper. Mixing categories changes which enemy defenses matter; it is not a free damage bonus.
Train at 💪 Elite Training Bay after completing Phase Lancer Protocols research. The baseline for one unit is 125 seconds at trainer level 1, or 96 seconds at level 10, before labor and other training modifiers.
Higher trainer levels shorten the queue but do not remove recruitment costs. Prepare the required whole components at the 🏭 Fabricator before recruiting. Keep the hourly upkeep listed below funded as the force grows.
Compare this unit with the rest of its Race roster. Its statistics and mission role determine its strengths; there is no blanket racial damage-vulnerability multiplier.
