Scalpel, Dominatrix, Moderator, Lance, and Phantom are supposed to be swarmable because of their slow reload. This works for Lance and Phantom, but the other are either two times or four times cheaper.

Moderator in particular, against most bot factories (say Cloaky) still loses fairly softly even against its perfect counter. Each Mod is guaranteed to kill a single Glaive, so its worst-case scenario is incomparably better than it is for normal skirms like Rogue or even Recluse.

(Fleas and Darts work much better but they're not bots)

But for tank, their lightest unit is in that sweet spot where it's the perfect target for almost all of the above. See Phantom? Facswitch. See Domi? Facswitch. Scalpel spam? Facswitch. Well, either that or Emissary.

I don't think requiring artillery to deal with mobile units is a good design at any point, unless those units are specifically required to be static to perform their job (Crab, Fencer). This is exactly how you end up in a situation where you build an artillery to kill one turret, and then keep shooting mobiles anyway because that's a better opportunity.

Perhaps increasing the weight of these perfectly accurate skirmishers to a level where they're reasonably swarmable with 160 cost units would work. Even now, theoretically, with the Kodachi cost buff, you can field 3 Kodachi for each Dominatrix. If you could field 4 because domi costed 520, that would be way more definite. Same would be needed for Scalpel and Mod, i guess.
