The engineer, being an actual engineer, captures buildings quicker, but it also means they needed dedicated units pretty much just for that. Advantage: Tankbuster, Archer Maiden(Empire) But then again, aircraft isnt as common in the early game anyways. I know there are archer maidens for that in the Uprising expansion, but I'm not very familiar with them(are they a basic tier unit?). However, they are at a distinct disadvantage since, unlike the missile defeners, they cant target aircraft. The tankbuster is probably more powerfull with his laser cannon and can burrow for defense, making them better against vehicles per se as it general refers to ground vehicles. Tankbuster, Archer Maiden vs Missile Defender However, the warriors with their energy rifles seem to have more firepower and maybe more armor as well. Both have options for anti-garrison work, though the rangers have better ranged for that since they dont have to enter buildings themselves to clear them.

Their blades augment them tremendously in this role since they are seen to be effective against other infantry units. As punishment, the most experienced of them were sealed within DevilCoat suits created by Ten-Shi Zaibatsu, turning them into fearsome weapons of war known as the Steel Ronin.Īs the Empire of the Rising Sun's standard infantry, they are primarily employed as an anti-infantry unit. When it became apparent that the Empire was losing the war, a small fraction of the Imperial warriors cracked under pressure, refusing orders to fall back and channeling unspeakable rage into their bloody work. This is mainly done to clear garrisoned buildings. The beam katana is a mass-produced sword that can be temporarily superheated, creating an incredibly deadly melee weapon.Īs a result of their training, it is common practice for Imperial Warriors to charge against their enemies using their katanas. The carbine fires superheated slugs capable of lacerating and severely burning unarmoured targets. The armour consists of a helmet with an optional faceplate and a thick vest with a personal power supply used by the MX Type-2 kinetic carbine and the beam katana. Imperial Warriors are seen to be wearing khaki-coloured uniforms and advanced body armour. Each Imperial Warrior is unflinchingly loyal to the Emperor and adheres to the code of Bushido he considers fighting and dying for the Emperor to be the greatest honour.
