Super Warrior

"A supercharged warrior who fearlessly hurls himself into the heart of the action. Apart from healing himself with every attack, the super warrior also freezes the building it attacks, reducing its attack rate."

Summary

• Super Warrior is a Temporary Gunboat Ability that is occasionally available for players who have an Armory level of 8 or above, and automatically scales to its level.
• Super Warrior deploys its namesake unit anywhere on the field. The unit itself behaves akin to a Super Warrior released from a Warrior Vat in Mega Crab events, being essentially a Warrior with improved all-round stats, speed, attack rate, and freezes targeted buildings for 5 seconds, reducing their fire rate by 50%.
  • Super Warriors are not affected by Medics, Dr. Vitamins, Medkits, Protectors, Dr. Kavan, Magma Statues and Flares.
  • However, Super Warriors can be affected by Battle Orders, Iron Will, Ice Shields/Crystal Shield Projector and Dr. Kavan's Galvanizing Presence perk (through splash).
• Each use costs 5 more Gunboat Energy than the previous, with a starting cost of 8 Gunboat Energy.

Offensive Strategy

• The Super Warrior, though a single unit, has notably higher stats and is less vulnerable to enemy area defenses, making them a prime choice against said targets, or isolated structures in general. One or two well-placed Super Warriors can potentially cripple a base from afar and inflict far more damage than Artillery or Barrage. Conversely, they are easily destroyed by enemy point defenses and can be greatly hindered by Shock Launchers/Shock Mines/Shock Blasters, which can simply invalidate their self-healing.

Defensive Strategy

• While dangerous, Super Warriors are surprisingly vulnerable with their low range, meaning many well-defended bases will usually prevent them from wrecking too much havoc alone.
• As with many all other Gunboat Abilities, a Sky Shield can effectively deny the Super Warrior's deployment.

Upgrade Differences

• The Super Warrior shares the same model as the Warrior, though with red accents in various places. There are no visual differences between upgrades, though each improves the Super Warrior's health, damage and self-healing.

Trivia

• Super Warriors recycle the same deployment SFX as Critterss.
