I've watched the replay and share @katastrophe's frustration.

Cloaky simply has zero answer for many threats. Firewalker, Wolverine, pretty much any skirmisher which has good range.

Ronin is much too weak to compete against other skirmishers unless they are in large numbers. Since they can only fire in a line, the numbers advantage is lessened.

Seriously. At the 5:18 mark, a Knight gets engaged by 11 Ronin and 2 Reavers, and takes until 5:53 to die. Some damage was caused by the Reaver and if I remember correctly, one Ronin was lost.

At around 10 minutes, 5 Ronin engage 5 Recluse and 4 Ronin get destroyed, with zero HP lost by Recluse. I seriously doubt 10 Ronin, which is metal parity with 5 Recluse would win since the Recluse would just kite the Ronin line and rapidly thin it out.

Near the end of the battle, @katastrophe took down a crabe with 1400 metal worth of Knights and a 600 metal Iris, with one Knight destroyed and that was from a Recluse response by AI.

The Iris was useless IMO, should have gone Conjurer cloak with priority set to level 3.

What's telling is just how crushing that small victory was, and shows my problem with Cloak.

When cloak wins, it completely eliminates the opponent. Correct Imp placement? Zero raider losses against entire raider balls. Zero losses vs skirms.

Stealth attack works fine? Absolute slaughter.

When cloak loses, like in this battle, it is also crushing. 100% cloak losses may occur with zero damage inflicted to the enemy.

Cloak gets spotted by Firewalker? 100% losses are almost guaranteed with minimal damage to Jump. Ronin gets engaged by Recluse? Goodbye Ronin.

There is nothing cloaky can do in these losing scenarios, not even run away due to their slow speed.

Problem?
The
losing
scenarios
occur
a
lot
more
than
the
(
essentially)
chance
based
win
scenarios.

Thanks
to
the
fact,
that
as
@katastrophe
points
out,
that
Cloak
lacks
answers
for
a
lot
of
problems.
