Description

These large walkers are not well documented. Reports suggest they can burrow underground to pop up from under a battlefield and begin a formal assault. Other intel indicates that Striders can switch between four-legged mode for deadly radius attacks and two-legged mode for rapid movement.

In combat (from either mode), Striders use direct plasma turret shots and circular area-of-effect attacks to deter enemies.  In the short term, neither of these is deadly to well-armored troops, but sustained combat is dangerous.

In four-legged attack mode, Striders can charge a massive plasma ball from their large eye. The resulting discharge blasts a wide swath. Anticipate these attacks, and sprint to the Strider’s flanks as quickly as possible to avoid the splash damage.
