Empire builds leverage their transformative units and unparalleled naval power for versatile and adaptable strategies. An effective early-game build often starts with a Dojo for Imperial Warriors, followed by a Refinery and then a Mecha Bay for Mecha Tengus. The 'Tengu Rush' is a common early-game strategy: mass Mecha Tengus and use their transformative ability to engage both ground and air threats, quickly overwhelming opponents. Support them with Tankbusters for anti-vehicle and Rocket Angels for anti-air. For mid-game, integrating Tsunami Tanks for ground control and Wave-Force Artillery for long-range bombardment (both land and sea) adds significant versatility. The 'Naval Supremacy' build focuses on early docks, massing Sea-Wings and Shogun Battleships to control the seas and launch devastating attacks from the water. This requires careful management of your transforming units. Always ensure you have enough power to sustain your production and superweapon charges. The Empire's Nanocores allow for rapid construction and base relocation, providing excellent flexibility. The Psionic Decimator superweapon can clear large areas of enemy units. Empire strategies often involve flanking maneuvers, exploiting unit transformations, and maintaining constant pressure. Utilize the burst drone ability of Imperial Warriors and the special abilities of your hero units like Yuriko Omega for maximum impact. Their ability to quickly rebuild and relocate bases makes them very resilient.
