Overall useful tier 3 unit if you need to attack infantry in cover, they cost as much as the Sulphurhounds and are a nice addition to them plus they get built in a different building so you can build them concurrently.Īt tier 4, you get Sicarian Infiltrators. They are melee and they can do good dmg to infantry, and while they lack armor they do have great resistances and if they get a kill they boost those even more for 10 turns, plus they are morale loss resistant as well. Those are essentially your early anti-cover unit. So again, Sulphurhounds are preferable.Īt tier 3, you can gain access to Fulgurite Technopriests. Vanguards do get the (T2 research) ability to ignore up to 50% of ranged damage reduction, making them effectively ignore terrain protection, but i find that typically you have much larger priorities in the early game research-wise and by the time you get the luxury to get such an upgrade, you should ideally already have better units available.
They do less damage to monstrous units vs the Vanguards overall but it shouldn't be a concern at that stage of the game. The Sulphurhounds are much tankier and do similar damage to other infantry. The Skitarii Vanguards are very squishy and ideally you should upgrade to Serberys Sulphurhounds as soon as possible. Their other early-mid tier infantry units are squishy but strong offensively vs other infantry. You definitely need to get Sub-cloister researched and built as soon as possible. The Datasmith is probably the most important unit in the Adeptus lineup. Which is something that you SHOULD do anyway since capturing some neutral Kastelan Robots are very important in the early/mid game as well (and can net you whole legions of them for free if you have quests enabled): You get some strong mid tier vehicles without wasting resources or production time and you don't have to fight against them to clear them too.
Spam some of those and they could deal with early armor just fine.
Cybernetica Datasmith is quite tanky for its tier and has powerful anti armor damage, especially vs vehicles and fortifications. If it had mobility too, it would have been broken (or much more expensive).Īdeptus do not lack early anti-armor either. Especially for the Knight Crusader which is a super strong unit with immense firepower vs every kind of target, and great survivability. I don't see why some people complained that much.
I began writing this as a post in the previous "adeptus unit overview" thread, but since it became too big i decided to make it its own thread. I just completed my first introductory game with Adeptus after i finally found some time to play.
