 The Iris has a jamming device to conceal your units' radar returns. It also has a small [[Cloak|area cloaker]] to hide friendly nearby units from enemy sight. It hides units in a smaller range and uses more energy than its stationary cousin, the [[Cornea]], and is able to transform into a Cornea at no additional cost.

-Having no weapons of its own, the Iris acts as a force multiplier for your other units, cloaking them from enemy view. This makes the Iris especially helpful at dealing with enemy skirmishers (such as [[Ronin]]s or [[Fencer]]s), artillery (such as [[Firewalker]]s or [[Merlin]]s), anti-heavy sniper units (such as [[Phantom]]s or [[Lance]]s), and even static defenses (such as [[Picket]]s, [[Stinger]]s, or even [[Cerberus]]) which normally won't fire at cloaked targets until they're revealed. As a result, the Iris effectively prevents longer-ranged enemy units from skirmishing any of your slower, shorter-ranged assaults (such as [[Knight]]s), riots (such as [[Reaver]]s), and even striders (such as [[Dante]]s or even [[Detriment]]s), allowing them to sneakily close the distance towards the enemy's units before coming under fire, so long as your units remain under the Iris's cloaking field, and so long as they don't shoot or take damage.
+The Iris itself is very fragile, and if it is killed, you may find your units in dangerous positions outside the safety of your lines.
-Note that the Iris itself is very fragile, and if it is killed, you may find your units in dangerous positions outside the safety of your lines.
+In addition to its traditional role, the Iris can also be used to deliver bombs (like [[Imp]]s and [[Snitch]]es) to the heart of enemy unit clusters. When used correctly, this can be a very efficient counter to [[Shieldbot Factory#Tactics and Strategy|shield balls]].

+The Iris (just like the [[Aspis]]) is amphibious, so it can be used to cloak friendly [[Shipyard|ships]], [[Amphbot Factory|amphbots]], [[Hovercraft Platform|hovercraft]], [[Reef]]s, [[Shogun]]s, and even Detriments. Also, the [[Athena]] can build Irises (and Aspises), so there's always an opportunity to build them without needing a Cloakbot Factory, even if the battle takes place at sea (though you may need to terraform some dry land in order to build Athenas at sea if your Strider Hub is built far from dry land).
