}}==Description==
A typical riot unit, the Scallop is armed with impact explosives for underwater targets and a quadruple shotgun for fighting above water enemies and on the ground.

== Tactics and Strategy ==
Normally, your Scallops are too slow and short-ranged to be able to close the distance towards the enemy's skirmishers. However, with help from some [[Lobster]]s, your Scallops can quickly close the distance towards the enemy units by having the Lobsters lob the Scallops at the enemy skirmishers. Such a tactic can also help the Scallops deal with some more modest base defenses like [[Stardust]] or [[Stinger]]s, so long as the Scallops are launched right next to the base defenses, so that their shotguns can deal maximum damage from point-blank range.

Against ships, while the Scallop can take care of enemy [[Hunter]]s, [[Seawolf|Seawolves]] and [[Corsair]]s just fine, unfortunately, it possesses neither the speed, nor the range, to deal with enemy [[Siren]]s, which can skirmish the Scallops to oblivion. Although [[Buoy]]s and [[Grizzly|Grizzlies]] could possibly help in dealing with enemy Sirens, as mentioned before, [[Lobster]]s can help fix this problem by hurling the Scallops at the Sirens.

Remember that Scallops, just as other [[Amphbot Factory]] units, have to surface in order to fire. While moving closer to the enemy underwater they are safe from most enemy skirmishers, but are vulnerable to attack from units such as [[Claymore]]s.
