Unit Stats

The weakest alien unit, often encountered in early-game skirmishes.

• Attack Pattern: Up to 3 can jump at a single target
• Post-Attack Behavior: Self-destruct after attacking
• It also applies to your infantry's "Acid" debuff. The acid burns through armor, damaging it by 10% of its current durability each turn for 2 turns. Does not stack.

Tactical Note

• Even basic weaponry like the C1A2 SPC carbine is effective
• At 3–5 tile distance, expect to need ~2 volleys from a 7–8 man squad to neutralize a group
• Prioritize them early to avoid chain damage from self-destruction
