The Mace is a mobile laser tower. Its high firepower is useful for killing light enemy units. It is perfectly accurate and is good against Gunships, Airplanes, and fast units. However, its thin armor makes it vulnerable when targetted directly, especially by skirmishers.
+
The Locust is a light gunship. Its high speed and decent damage makes it excellent for quickly taking out enemy economy or inaccurate units like assaults. However, it flies close to the ground and has a short range, meaning even other raiders can engage it on an equal footing. Like any raider, the Locust should avoid riots and static defense.
 
 
==Tactics and Strategy==
 
Use Maces to do crowd control to protect powerful ranged attackers such as [[Scalpel]] and [[Lance]] from approaching raiders. Even heavier raiders such as [[Blitz]] are outranged by Mace. Watch out for enemy skirmishers.

Description

The Locust is a light gunship. Its high speed and decent damage makes it excellent for quickly taking out enemy economy or inaccurate units like assaults. However, it flies close to the ground and has a short range, meaning even other raiders can engage it on an equal footing. Like any raider, the Locust should avoid riots and static defense.
