1 One could argue duck used to be raider riot with its high alpha first strike ( where it launched both rockets at once. . . ) and then just retreated. . . . Arguably raiders/riots will be superior to an raider or riot because fundamentally both roles are contradictory to each other ( fast and raidy vs slow and crow control) . Combine both and you get a unit that is fast, has good damage with the ability to do some crow control making units which can catch it get countered. . . . All in the neat package of one unit simplifying production. The balance to this is often hp, cost or troll gimmicks. However, these almost nerf the unit too hard. I would argue having raider/riots is fundamentally impossible to properly balance. 1 One could argue duck used to be raider riot with its high alpha first strike ( where it launched both rockets at once. . . ) and then just retreated. . . .
