The long awaited sequel is here! We're not just saying "no" to shieldbots, we are COUNTERING them!

Shieldbots' greatest strength is when they gather in a huge ball. Alone, they lack the synergy they need to be intimidating. They also lack artillery units to attack the enemy's artillery with, besides expensive racketeers that make the army less effective at destroying your stuff.

Therefore, when you see a shieldbot factory early in the game, harass it. Don't let it build up to power, and by lord, don't let the shieldbot player get decent artillery from other factories. Strike when they are vulnerable, mow the enemy down with weapons they can't attack, and reach a safe victory.

Good luck, anti-shieldbot soldier. We're proud.

shieldbots slow. take advantage of this.

wear them down with light artillery. overpower them with heavy artillery. outrun them with raiders and kill their base. sneak them up with cloaked stuff, e.g. cloaked roach drops. overpower them with raw HP like 9001 tanks. snatch units out of the ball with sumo. airstrike with licho when shield is not full. dirtbagspam them till terrain is f*cked up. emp missle. nuke (or any other silly super). multiple scorpions mass-stun.

there are countless possibilities.

Ravagers once massed kinda tend to mess up shieldballs. Not really vulnerable to raiders at a certain point also.
