Description

Fast and fairly sturdy for its price, the Gremlin is good budget mobile anti-air. It can cloak for free, allowing it to provide unexpected anti-air protection or escape ground forces it's defenseless against.

Tactics and Strategy[edit]

The Gremlin does not have an especially strong anti-air weapon for its cost, but its cloak allows it to ambush enemy air units, especially gunships. Gremlins may also be used as cheap scouts or spotters for artillery, remember to toggle hold fire if intended they stay hidden should a stray flying unit close in.
