You only need 1 Likho though to throw a crab off spire and force it to uncurl. If timed with a ground sortie, the combined damage of explosion, drop, and efforts of the ground forces usually do the trick. Or just get a Tremor.

[quote]The question really is both players have, say, 2k or 3k metal in units. One player is spiders, the opponent is another factory with a mix heavy on skirmishers or artillery. How does the spider player spend the metal to win? [/quote]

Since your opponent is arty and skirms, you are in the artyporc phase of ZK.

The real answer here is of course Merlin, almost within our budget. But if you're stuck with spiders, the Crab Spire is one of the nastiest artyporcs around, and one that can is immune to raiders without having to spend on riot escorts. There are tons of small tricks to use with it that negate naive counters, such as abusing armor and weaver buildpower to withstand shelling; using a cloaker to deny enemy targetting; moving behind the spire's shadow to hide from enemy shots while ambushing anything that approaches closer; having a few Venoms as point defense against Ravens and possibly even Likho.

Now,
if
the
enemy
is
not
yet
artyskirms
but
mere
normal
skirms
in
the
ronin-rogue-scalpel-moderator
range
class,
you
can
just
spam
recluse.
The
only
one
rocket
hitting
is
misguiding:
as
densities
increase,
the
stray
missiles
will
hit
other
targets;
and
also
youxre
still
outranging
them.
