13 If we're discussing units up to 6k in cost, there's Scorpion. Devastating when used right due to mega-stun both in terms of stun hp (shield guaranteed to go down with that much lightning) and stun area (catches the whole ball). 13 If we're discussing units up to 6k in cost, there's Scorpion.

15 Considering just how much your "normal" shieldball costs, you can actually afford two of those. They don't require that much energy at these levels, so you can actually assume the cloak to be comparatively free (certainly not fusion-level consumption). 15 Considering just how much your "normal" shieldball costs, you can actually afford two of those.

19 6020 / 750 = 8. 02( 6) Sharpshooters. When firing in salvo, those will simply tear down through the shields before they can recuperate, and smite units within, causing attrition. 19 6020 / 750 = 8. 02( 6) Sharpshooters.

22 6000 / 300 = 20 Recluses. No, really. He doesn't have enough racketeers to disarm *that*. They outrange felons, and in *this* insane concentration, the hail of fire is enough to kill any raiders that try it. 22 6000 / 300 = 20 Recluses. No, really.

24 Bottom line, your shieldball is unrealistically large. 24 Bottom line, your shieldball is unrealistically large.
