ADVENT MEC (LWOTC)

Back To Main Page | Back To Units Page

The ADVENT MEC is their standard mechanized combat unit equipped with heavy weaponry.

The Advent MEC carry heavy weaponry that can deal great damage and wreck through armor. Their micro missile launcher gives them a launcher that allows them to act like small artillery and bombing our troops but thankfully they are not any more destructive than standard frag grenades and are just as capable in destroying cover. In addition to the heavy weaponry, the MECs with their cannons are capable of suppressing our troops, pinning them down and preventing them from acting effectively. MECs can't take cover and thus are much easier targets but they make up for it in with their durable armor which are surprisingly very mobile allowing them to scale buildings and more easily get into our flanks.

Tips

• Like most mechanical enemies, they do not have much defense making them easier targets but are more durable by having generally mroe HP and armor than bio enemies. It is recommended to have some sort of shredding or piercing to more easily deal with these targets.
• Like most units with AOE moves, you ideally want to spread your soldiers out in order to greatly dissuade them from ever using them although higher level MECs may still use their missiles on a single target instead of waiting for a more opportune moment.
• Tier 2+ MECs will generally use their scamper move to overwatch instead of repositioning if they see any valid targets. It is important to have some way of addressing overwatch to mitigate this action or to engage them out of their sight.
