1 Hacksaw vs Razor: Hacksaw can kill a single Raven before the Raven drops its bomb on a target behind it. Razor can not. That's pretty much its only use. You should know that Hacksaw was deliberately nerfed into being just on the edge of usefulness, it is not supposed to be your main goto anti air building. 1 Hacksaw vs Razor: Hacksaw can kill a single Raven before the Raven drops its bomb on a target behind it.

3 Gauss also has autorepair when closed. Personally I hardly ever build HLT/Gauss, but I'd say build a Gauss when you need a HLT that can not easily be overrun. You probably never want to build a HLT without nearby LLT/Stardust or unit support, but a lone Gauss could survive for some time. 3 Gauss also has autorepair when closed.

5 Behemoth is probably pretty nice if you can put it on a large hill/mountain/cliff for the range bonus it gets. Could be used for sieging, to deny terrain or to scare away cheap arti spam. Annihilator is probably good against heavy striders. 5 Behemoth is probably pretty nice if you can put it on a large hill/mountain/cliff for the range bonus it gets.

7 Newton can be used to throw enemies off cliffs. I sometimes build them on the center of ~500-1000elmo diameter plateaus to get rid of any spiders and jumpies that climb up. Newton can also be used to trap enemy aircraft - one Newton is enough to trap a Raven (and cheaper than a Hacksaw, hint hint). Faraday.. I wonder too. I suppose a single Faraday can be awesome support for a bunch of nearby LLTs/other porc, but I almost never build them. Then again, Venom has the same price, permastun AND deals real damage. Despite these (comparatively) bad stats Faraday is probably still underused. 7 Newton can be used to throw enemies off cliffs.

10 Keep in mind that I'm not too much of a porcer and haven't really played a lot recently, but most of those things should still hold true. 10 Keep in mind that I'm not too much of a porcer and haven't really played a lot recently, but most of those things should still hold true.
