Description
The Firewalker's medium range mortars immolate a small area, denying use of that terrain for brief periods of time. The bot itself is somewhat clumsy and slow to maneuver. Let DaKeys play!
Tactics and Strategy
Although, in general, clumps of closely-packed enemy units don't deal well with being bombarded by a Firewalker, shieldballs have it much worse than usual, since the Firewalker's incendiary mortars can somewhat penetrate through shields.
The Firewalker's incendiary mortars can reveal cloaked units that wade through the puddles of napalm that the Firewalker's shells create on impact. This makes them a useful counter against enemy task forces that are being cloaked by an Iris.
Since the puddles of napalm that the Firewalker's shells create on impact last longer than the Firewalker's rate-of-fire, you can effectively use them in an area-denial role by force-firing on the ground. Let DaKeys play!
To quickly order multiple Firewalkers to create a line of burning napalm stretching from one place to another, hold down the Alt key, and drag a line from one spot to another, while giving the Firewalkers a force-fire order.
