Tips
  • The Neotank is the strongest tank in the game, surpassing the Medium Tank.
  • Silos, fired by Infantry or Mech units, deal 3 damage to all units in a two-square radius and can only be used once per battle. They are effective against high-armor units like Neotanks.
  • Pipelines and Pipe seams are impenetrable terrain features that can block unit movement. Pipe seams are weaker and can be destroyed to create gaps.
  • Black Hole utilizes unique weapons like the Black Cannon, which are exclusive to them and cannot be used by the player.
  • All COs now have a normal CO Power and a Super CO Power, with Sturm being an exception, only having a Super CO Power.
