3 Maybe treat it as a back-line infiltrator. It's job is to build some stuff that can quickly wreck havok in the back lines (particularly Folsam) and fend off some quick and feeble attempts to dislodge it. 3 Maybe treat it as a back-line infiltrator.

5 As such, it needs scouting, raiding, possibly heavy raiding (e.g. things like Ravager swarm that outrun interception attempts while being durable enough to push through mid level defences and wreck things along their path), area cloaker, djinn to transport in armies, some AA and some dps to go with the area cloaker. Ideally it should have all terrain versions of things and as much as possible should be cloaked. 5 As such, it needs scouting, raiding, possibly heavy raiding (e.g. things like Ravager swarm that outrun interception attempts while being durable enough to push through mid level defences and wreck things along their path), area cloaker, djinn to transport in armies, some AA and some dps to go with the area cloaker.

8 As such, Iris, Conjurer, Weaver, Flea, Phantom, Ultimatum, Djinn, Widow, Scuttle, Scythe all seem mandatory for back line havok. Probably also Glaive as the optimal high dps raider. Caretakers, radar towers ( but probably not advanced radar) and Cornea also seem obvious choices. For riot to fend off quick raider wipes either Reaver or Redback ( or both) seem sensible. Probably Tarantula for AA. Recluse as a hard to dislodge hill skirm also seems ok. 8 As such, Iris, Conjurer, Weaver, Flea, Phantom, Ultimatum, Djinn, Widow, Scuttle, Scythe all seem mandatory for back line havok.

10 I can also see a good argument for Impaler wrecking havok with long range and high trajectory. Similarly Artemis to rapidly decimate an enemy air base and Missile Silo for some choice targetting. Can see maybe Aegis to defend those two, but iffy. 10 I can also see a good argument for Impaler wrecking havok with long range and high trajectory.

12 Honestly, "heavy raiding" should probably dropped as an idea, but if keeping it I think Ravager's longer range and arcing trajectory shots make it better at run-bys than Halberd, so would probably swap out Halberd for Ravager. 12 Honestly, "heavy raiding" should probably dropped as an idea, but if keeping it I think Ravager's longer range and arcing trajectory shots make it better at run-bys than Halberd, so would probably swap out Halberd for Ravager.
