6 While redback has no AOE, this sort of riot has strong single target damage instead of crowd control, like mace instead of reaver/ripper, and careful micro can allow this unit to deal full damage while staying out of range of units it only slightly outranges. 6 While redback has no AOE, this sort of riot has strong single target damage instead of crowd control, like mace instead of reaver/ripper, and careful micro can allow this unit to deal full damage while staying out of range of units it only slightly outranges.

8 High level players especially can abuse terrain to get more favorable engagements, like using terrain to close the distance with a defensive turret that has been placed properly for a ramp but not the sheer cliffface. 8 High level players especially can abuse terrain to get more favorable engagements, like using terrain to close the distance with a defensive turret that has been placed properly for a ramp but not the sheer cliffface.

21 And a potent spam unit. I've done this strategy before: mass riot. Fake out enemy skirmishers with good movement or peeling off a couple, and run all your riots into enemy main/factory. Turrets and factory production do not have enough stopping power against 9 riots like redback, but redback has the ability to ambush poorly paced turrets or bypass them all together with spider legs, which can make this strategy even more potent. 21 And a potent spam unit.
