Description

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

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.
