ADVENT Rocketeer (LWOTC)

Back To Main Page | Back To Units Page

The Advent Rocketeer is a standard trooper variant with a gauntlet--mounted rocket launcher.

They are only slightly more capable than the standard trooper but their main threat is the rocket launcher which can deal great damage and remove cover exposing our soldiers. Unlike XCOM's Technical's rocket launcher, ADVENT's rockets are more precise having no scatter but are much smaller. Unlike most units, their rocket's do not scale as ADVENT progresses.

Tips

• Like most flankable units, they will ideally try to find reasonable cover whenever flanked. This can be taken advantage of if you want to force enemies to move.
• Like most units with AOE moves, you ideally want to spread your soldiers out in order to greatly disssuade them from ever using them.
• ADVENT rocketters wil ideally find a group of enemies before firing their rocket but also have a 33% chance to fire at a single target. This can only occur if they have two actions so moves that can incentivize using an action first such as flanks can remove this.
