The Firewalker's medium range mortars immolate a small area, denying use of that terrain for brief periods of time. The bot itself is somewhat clumsy and slow to maneuver.

== Tactics and Strategy ==
 
−
Although, in general, clumps of closely-packed enemy units don't deal well with being bombarded by a Firewalker, shieldballs have it much worse than usual, since the Firewalker's incendiary mortars can somewhat penetrate through shields.

−
The Firewalker's incendiary mortars can reveal cloaked units that wade through the puddles of napalm that the Firewalker's shells create on impact. This makes them a useful counter against enemy task forces that are being cloaked by an [[Iris]].
 
−
 
−
Since the puddles of napalm that the Firewalker's shells create on impact last longer than the Firewalker's rate-of-fire, you can effectively use them in an area-denial role by force-firing on the ground.

To quickly order multiple Firewalkers to create a line of burning napalm stretching from one place to another, hold down the Alt key, and drag a line from one spot to another, while giving the Firewalkers a force-fire order.
