Description

Light and cheap, the Glaive makes short work of enemy skirmishers, artillery and economy, but should avoid and outmanouver riot units and defenses, where it is not as strong. Damaged Glaives regenerate when out of combat.

Tactics and Strategy

The Glaive is cheapest raider and has excellent speed and damage output, at the cost of poor health and range. Attack in multiple locations and from multiple directions to make the most of the Glaives' strengths. Standoff engagements between opposing raiders where both sides take small amounts of damage but lose no units also favour Glaives, since their auto-regeneration will repair any damage quickly.
