@Capricis
Darts
can
be
super
efficient
against
Daggers.
Darts
have
120
HP
against
Dagger's
110
damage
per
shot,
so
for
40m
a
Dart
can
eat
220
dmg
worth
of
shots,
for
comparison,
a
130m
Scorcher
can
only
eat
440
dmg.
This
can
become
more
extreme
as
Dagger
numbers
(
and
hence
their
potential
overkill)
increases.
The
reason
this
is
so
efficient
is
the
tactic
Daggers
heavily
rely
on:
go
in,
burst
down
a
target
or
two
and
retreat.

To

you
don't
need
to
go
pure
Darts,
you
can
mix
them
with
Scorchers.

On top of that Darts have [b]more movement speed and sight distance[/b] than Daggers. Without Darts your enemy will always have more sight distance than your LV raider army. [color=orange][tooltip=Dart is the raider with the third highest sight distance (580). Only Kodachi (600) and Skeeter (800) have more. Scorcher is the ground raider with the lowest sight distance (400). Most other raiders have a sight distance of 500, this includes Daggers.][?][/tooltip][/color] This completely turns around the vision advantage, especially considering Darts cost half as much as a Dagger and can be spread out all over the map. In other words you should be dominating the vision game and get to choose which battles to take.

If you still get in a bad situation, then like I said just use a Dart or two as cannon fodder to force Daggers to retreat or engage in a battle without their powerful first burst bonus. You can also use Darts to scout and potentially harass an enemy's expansion (eg. while their army is busy). Darts can survive one Defender missile and occasionally escape, two Darts can kill a lone Defender and their DPS/cost is alright. In theory a Dart never needs to die, provided you have enough APM.
