Use Scorpions to take out artillery/support units behind enemy lines, or economic assets. |
− | + | While they're quite powerful and their riot-like weapons keep them safe from swarms of light units, they're ultimately expensive, sluggish units with a short range, so ideally you want them to somehow bypass or circle the enemy's main force. If what you want is to punch right through it, there are better Striders for that, such as the [[Dante]] or [[Funnelweb]]. | |
− | + | Note that the Scorpion's multi-stunner special ability is able to paralyze other heavy units that it sneaks up to, including striders of similar weight like [[Dante]]s, [[Funnelweb]]s, [[Merlin]]s, and other Scorpions, of which a single Scorpion is sufficient to paralyze. [[Paladin]]s and [[White Dragon]]s can be paralyzed with 3 or 4 Scorpions. This makes the Scorpion an effective anti-heavy/anti-strider unit. | |
+ | However, such tactics could be countered simply by providing your paralyzed striders with escorts that can adequately take on a Scorpion, whether it's another close-ranged strider, or a few anti-heavy units like [[Lance]]s, [[Phantom]]s, or [[Widow]]s. | ||
