That means you can waste a huge portion of your enemy's attention by periodically sending multiple raiding parties with fight command on different routes.[/quote]

Situational at best, you're assuming 1v1 on an open map at the raider spam phase. The logic dosn't really hold up either, since the same relationship applies to you - every raider attacking is not defending against scythes. scythes are more effective vs light defences than most raiders. Can also assume nobody goes pure sycthe but also uses glaives/riots etc where needed too.

Very cheap to keep cloaked on move compared to other cloaked units - compare to spy.

Agreed - the rest of the cloaky lineup could do with some love and affection as powercreep elsewhere has put them in the shade.
