}}==Description==
The {{PAGENAME}}'s weapon, nicknamed 'the Blue Laser of Death', has the power and accuracy to skewer most units with a single shot. Use it against high-armor units, but keep it behind the front lines&mdash;it has light armor and is too slow to be able to run from danger.

== Tactics and Strategy ==
Since {{PAGENAME}}s have such a low rate of fire, and very high damage per shot, it is good to set them to ''hold fire'' mode (or ''return fire'' mode) to conserve their shots for use against enemy [[Strider Hub|Strider]]s and assault units. Setting them to hold fire against unidentified radar targets should help ensure that their shots hit more often (since targeting unidentified radar targets imposes accuracy penalties in general), though when used in conjunction with ''attack move'' orders, it might also result in the {{PAGENAME}}s stopping in front of unidentified targets. It is good to spread out your {{PAGENAME}}s, as there is a tendency for {{PAGENAME}}s to sometimes hit each other when moving around and firing.

{{PAGENAME}} does not deal all of its damage instantly (it instead does 100 damage 30 times over the course of a second). This means that it cannot pierce through a shield as easily as it might appear, though {{PAGENAME}} remains useful to slowly drain enemy shields at a very safe range. On the plus side, this means a {{PAGENAME}}'s beam can pierce through multiple enemy units, thus reducing its overkill potential when used in a target-rich environment.
