Synergy and Precision

The Orbotrons are a synergestic and surgical faction. They are far more powerful together than individually, and shine in bombardment.

Strategy

  • Orbotron units perform exponentially better when they are supported. Try to keep your units within reach of each other
  • Different pairs of units (including two of the same) showcase strengths in different ways. Try to identify the strengths of your opponent's composition and optimize to counter it
  • Vanguards and Sentinels provide growing value each round they stay alive. Decisive aggressive tactics can be strong, but avoid too many risks with these units
  • Zegatron is incredibly powerful, but has the same hitpoints as any other unit. Be wary of spawning him in a vulnerable position

    • Hellspawn Units

    Hellspawn Notes

    Mischief and Demons

    The Hellspawn are destructive in a reckless and mischievous fashion. With no regard to safety, they like to be up in their opponents' faces and annoy them till someone gets...obliterated.

    Strategy

  • The Hellspawn rely on aggression and map presence rather than on bombardment. Bombardment is viable, if you capitalize on Soul Keepers
  • Soul Release means some of a unit's value is in its death, making the long-term survival of individual units a lower priority than maximizing their effectiveness even if they die soon
  • If you are having trouble surviving heavy bombardment, consider deploying Puppets for Implosion of Sorrow to cover key units
  • Pay attention to 'Active Supply'. Sometimes it's beneficial to sacrifice a unit to secure initiative in the next round, especially since Puppets occupy twice the supply
