Units & counters
Quick notes
- Read weapon roles. Rifle infantry and anti-infantry vehicles deal with troops; rockets and anti-armor weapons threaten vehicles.
- Protect specialist damage. Artillery and long-range units work best behind a fighting screen.
- Use faction tools together. GDI has direct armored options, Nod combines mobility and stealth tools, and Scrin uses alien support and air power.
- Repair and preserve veterans. Experienced units become more valuable as they survive.
