Kodachi vs glaives

Why can glaives catch a kodachi?

Kodachi is not a scout, it's a regenerating hit-and-run raider with limited riot capacity.

If it had capacity to indefinitely kite glaives, imo, that would make it a tad too much.

Do glaives not die from a napalm bomb to the face?

But a fireball down behind you and run away. He can't run directly after you, because fire. Koda's accuracy was increased, it can prettywell butcher glaives now.

tank fac rules clusterfuck games if used competently

Tank fac fails at very early game... Only good mix is kodach + panther, but on low metal maps, u will have no metal left for e buildings, or anything else.

Also, making alone panther is usless, and panther (300 metal) can be easly killed by 3 glavies (185 metal -.- ), cuz it takes 2 shots to kill a glavie with panther. Not even mentioning bandits.

when was it nurf?

Playing tanks in general should be done in the mindset that you should not lose a single unit.

Kodachi is very fast. Only Darts, Fleas, Scrubbers and to some extent Glaives can catch it. With perfect micro and good decision making you should not lose Kodachis to anything but those raiders and/or ticks and roaches. You can always retreat and regenerate health.
Panther can be played in similar ways as it is even faster and got more health. However it doesn't have health generation so every damage it takes is increases the risk of losing it unless you go back and repair. With the stun, fast units have even greater trouble chasing it down or intercepting it as they lose their speed once EMPed. It can however be hard to finish of enemies with a Panther in such situations and damaged Glaives are soon fully healthy Glaives.
Once you field a few kodachis and/or Panthers you should consider making Banishers or Reapers. With some support you can prevent Raiders from chasing down a low health Reaper while the Reaper can run over Ticks and Roaches without much hesitation. Banishers also benefit from support to prevent them being overrun by spam.

3 glaives on a fireball, make cost and a bottle of rum.

Panther has always been an ill-defined unit - it was originally intended to be a sort of assault-raider like the Ravager, then gradually was converted into a more general-purpose raiding role as the game's heaviest raider.

Koda is good but it's also the most micro-intensive unit in the lab, which is tricky since it's also the smallest unit in the lab.
