| “Our strategy for war values speed and mobility. To those ends, our first line of offense are the Commandos. More hands means more guns.” — Barca[1] |
The Commando is the Beta basic infantry. Making use of the Beta’s superior physical prowess and four arms, Commandos wield two hand cannons plus an actual cannon.[2]
Background
In general, the Beta are a very selfless people. Though pacifists by nature, at the earliest onset of any conflict, volunteers line up for miles to enlist and defend the Beta people. Recruitment is so widespread, troops are left without adequate armor and weapons. This was never more evident than when the Goo first attacked the Beta on Ecosystem Nine. Thus, the Commando was born - a basic cannon wielded by a single Beta soldier.
Overview
Highly trained foot soldiers that make up the bulk of Beta armies, Commandos are quick, nimble, and use their superior strength to wield a massive cannon. While a single one may not seem very intimidating, a group of Commandos creates a formidable foe against anyone on the battlefield.
Tips
- Their quick movement speed makes Commandos ideal for scouting out unexplored areas of the map.
- Commandos can be built quickly and cheaply, enabling their numbers to grow much more quickly than other units.
- Mount Commandos on wall pillars to extend their life in the early game.
