Description

Light Benders are the snipers of many Bane companies. They are harder to spot than most rank-and-file Bane troops, making them especially dangerous. Sometimes led by a Light Bender Lieutenant or Captain, expect these snipers to be a major thorn in your side.

Keep moving when Light Benders are present. As with Caretakers, AFS troops should prioritize Light Benders above Bane melee units. Light Benders cannot withstand many direct hits, unless you are using laser-based weaponry. A blast of Lightning, one or two shotgun blasts, or just about any major assault puts Light Benders down for the count.
