[color=orange][tooltip=Dart is the raider with the third highest sight distance (580). Only Kodachi (600) and Skeeter (800) have more. Scorcher is the ground raider with the lowest sight distance (400). Most other raiders have a sight distance of 500, this includes Daggers.][?][/tooltip][/color] This completely turns around the vision advantage, especially considering Darts cost half as much as a Dagger and can be spread out all over the map. In other words you should be dominating the vision game and get to choose which battles to take. | 6 | On top of that Darts have [b]more movement speed and sight distance[/b] than Daggers.

                    | 8 | If you still get in a bad situation, then like I said just use a Dart or two as cannon fodder to force Daggers to retreat or engage in a battle without their powerful first burst bonus. You can also use Darts to scout and potentially harass an enemy's expansion (eg. while their army is busy). Darts can survive one Defender missile and occasionally escape, two Darts can kill a lone Defender and their DPS/cost is alright. In theory a Dart never needs to die, provided you have enough APM. | 8 | If you still get in a bad situation, then like I said just use a Dart or two as cannon fodder to force Daggers to retreat or engage in a battle without their powerful first burst bonus.
