I guess I could write another tier list. Assume a team game on a land map, and this is a "how good do I think this unit is" rating rather than "how well does this match the raider ideal".

I feel less confident about most ratings on this list than I did for the assault list. I think claiming Scorcher, Glaive, Kodachi or mayyyybe Bandit/Pyro as the "best raider" in teams are all defensible positions - I would not call any of them S tier teams units though. Obviously 1v1 meta will be different.

When you need sheer DPS, accept no substitutes. Veh movement makes it a little clumsier than the bot raiders, though.

B-plus,

not

Glaive
is

than

Bandit
less

again,

it

if

to.

A tier early, but impact falls off a cliff after that, especially Kodachi. I suck with both of these.

This unit absolutely *can* be good. Very strong in some raider matchups, and trashes air. But in my experience there are an awful lot of jobs I want my raiders to do that Dagger does not have the DPS to get done.

I've been underwhelmed with Duck lately. On land, anyway. Obviously still good as a water unit.

Not worthless by any means, but I am typically not happy to be building it. This is metal that could be going into a Minotaur or Cyclops.

There are probably maps where this is good in small teams. Most games this doesn't seem very good though.

I don't know how to rate Scythe. I suck with it and nobody has wowed me with it recently, but I don't think it has been nerfed much since the last time it felt good. Somewhere in the B to A range I guess.
