Placeholder, Moderator and Firewalker have no jumping ability. While the factory itself is not able to [[Jump Command|jump]], either, its Jump command can be used to set a rally point to which any jumping unit will jump instead of walking. It will still walk until it reaches its minimum required jumping distance from the destination. | Placeholder, Moderator and Firewalker have no jumping ability.

The Jugglenaut is a scary opponent but it's ineffective against structures. Stingers or a larger number of Lotuses will force it to retreat. If it is disabled or disarmed the Jugglenaut cannot jump, push or pull, and so it can be caught and defeated easily. It also doesn't do much on its own against heavier opponents such as [[Strider Hub|Striders]]. | The Jugglenaut is a scary opponent but it's ineffective against structures.
