The
limitations of the Ion Guns of the Guardians mean they are of little
threat to you. Two can be taken out by a Tank without any need to
replenish ammo or repair any damage taken.The danger lies when Guardians
are in greater numbers so putting units in between you and the others
mean you take less damage.
Pilot Tips:
Using
Guardians is generally not recommended. Accessing Guardians is only
usually as a result of having been blown out of another vehicle and need
to use its increased mobility to escape. Getting out of dodge is
advised as you will need to protect yourself against units that come
after you. This may be futile however as Turrets amd Guardians use AI
better than most.
Key Points:
Be wary of Gardians in greater numbers due to increased damage dealt.
Use Guardians in the instance you need a quicker escape than by foot.

As
Haulers are slow moving and have light armour there isn't a great deal
to worry about when up against them. Issue arise more when dealing the
units guarding them.
Pilot Tips:
You have to order Haulers rather
than being able to pilot them yourself. They need to be protected
intensely during mission where they are required.
Key Points:
Be wary of the units protecting Haulers.
Provide heavy support when in need of a Hauler in missions.

Strategic Info:
Heavy
units and Gun Spires can pose major issues when supported by Healers.
Taking them out as early on as possible is advised as they greatly
increase the difficulty of destroying enemy units.
Pilot Tips:
Healers
can be huge assets to your units. Your heavy units become a force of
nature as they are much harder to dispatch and your defensice structures
are almost impentetrable. Gun Spires should be backed up and well as
having them support heavy units. As Warriors and other faster units
benefit from their speed, it could be advised to not have Healers
support as they slow them down limiting effectiveness.
Key Points:
Destroy enemy Healers as soon as possible to prevent them from strengthening enemy units.
Use Healers to support your own heavy units to improve attack resistance.

Strategic Info:
The
Sentry's speed is its greatest asset. They can frustratingly move out
of the way when they are being shot at. Whilst this can cause issues
when trying to destroy them, their major disadvantage is their inability
to turn at speed. Taking advamtage of their awkward turn movement means
one can focus fire on the traget aiming fire slightly ahead of the
target so that they can continuously be hit. A few hits should be enough
to take them out of action.
Pilot Tips:
Again,
speed is the greatest advantage of the Sentry. Even ISDF Tanks can fall
victim to the quick moving Sentry. The key to destructive success is
getting in tight to a target and continue to circle them, whilst
strafing in the same direction you are facing. This will allow for your
firepower to focus on enemy units continuously while circling them. This
tactic will often render a traget destroyed. This tactic can also be
adapted to quicker moving units, however more focus will be required for
successful attacks.
Key points:
Take advantage of the Sentries awkward turning mechanism to take them out.
Use their speed to confused slower moving enemies.

Strategic Info:
The
speed and rapid fire heat sinking missiles make Lancers particularly
dangerous foes. Adopting the tactic of constant movement, avoiding
missiles by strafing is advised. Destroying them requires pointing at
them directly, whilst focusing fire and dodging their firepower.
Pilot Tips:
Taking
out Gun Towers and Turrets is the function of Lancers. Issues can arise
however as Lancers can stray within range. Another problem with Lancers
is that their Stinger Missiles will go to the closest heat source and
has an uncanny knack of striking your own units. Avoiding getting
involved in battles where your own units are included is advised to
prevent this from happening. Structures can be effectively destroyed by
morphing and using the Swarm Launcher.
Key Points:
Avoid Lancer fire by moving constantly.
Use caution when getting involved in battles as some weaponry can damage your own units.

Strategic Info:
Warriors
ability to morph and deliver serious damage to your extractors and base
make them particularly dangerous opponents. They provide even more of a
threat than ISDF Tanks. Avoiding their Plasma Cannons is recommended as
well as focusing fire on them for as long as possible. Vehicles with
Mortars are worthwhile utilising to take advantage of their range before
allowing the Warrior to head your way.
Pilot Tips:
As
units go, Warriors are the ultimate all rounder. Their versatility of
speed and weaponry can end up dealing major damage to enemies. To get
the best out of a Warrior, adding Deflector Shields and a Static Charge,
as well as utilising your defult cannon and guns will make the Warrior
virtually indestructible.
Key Points:
Avoid Plasma Cannons at all costs.
Utilise modifcations for your vehicle to ensure maximum damage.

Strategic Info:
Archers
can access hard to reach places on the map and unload Mortar fire upon
your base. Sending a Scout out to get to those hard to reach places is
advised in order to cancel this threat out.
Pilot Tips:
Their
flight capabilities mean that Archers can be tactically placed in hard
to reach places. Locating them near an enemy base on inaccessible ledges
give your Archers strike advantage. Once you have disembarked from your
Warrior head up the hill and instruct your Archers to deploy on the
ledges out of the way of enemy Mortars. From here onwards they can be a
contual harrassment to your enemies.
Key Points:
Send Scouts to seek out Archers as they can get to their awkwrad placements.
Set Archers near enemy bases and bombard accordingly.
