Not to be confused with Turret Engineer.
Summary
- The Critter Engineer is a Prototroop that periodically spawns Critters.
- The Critter Engineer is unlocked for players who have an Armory level of 13 or above and starts 1 level below the Armory level. It can be upgraded using Proto Tokens gained from events.
- His attack consists of throwing one Critter.
Visual Appearances
- The Critter Engineer appears as a normal additional construction worker; Brown shoes, yellow overalls with suspenders, a small brown bag on the belt, and a yellow helmet.
- In the units' info screen, he is holding a critter in his hand.
Offensive Strategy
- Critter Engineers should always be accompanied by Meatshilders such as the Heavy.
- Since the critters are vulnerable to buildings with area damage or mines, they should be eliminated first.
- In combination with Cpt. Everspark allows them to release a variety of critters to support the attack.
Defensive Strategy
- Area Damage Buildings like the Machine Gun, Flamethrower, Mortar or Rocket Launcher can destroy large numbers of Critters.
- This also applies to mines.
- Buildings with high range like Boom Cannons, Grappler or Shock Blaster can kill Critter Engineers before they can throw the first Critter.
- Mortar, Rocket Launcher and Shock Launcher can target your engineers if the critters are in their blind spots.
Trivia
- You can have a maximum of 24 Critter Enginners in a complete set of fully upgraded Landing Crafts.
- Note: Having this many Critter Enginners is highly discouraged as your troops will have no offensive capabilities when all critters get destroyed at once.
- Pvt. Bullit could serve as a solid meatshield if you plan to only use Critter Enginners.
