4.10: The Leveler | [Back to the WarGuide]
1) Levelers take out traffic jams of flashes in a hurry. It works very well with choke points and LLTs. The LLTs guard the choke points, and the levelers take out groups before they can get to the choke points. 2) Try putting Levelers around or behind Dragon's Teeth, combine them with LLT's that are surrounded as well, and you end up with a lot of dead flashes. The Leveler works as a sort of mobile plasma cannon, not a tank. 3) Starting at 10000/10000 helps and being on a metal map is even better. Instantly build 2 or 3 factories and get the first one to build Instigators. These are to run around and soak up damage. It might not be a lot of damage but it's more than a Leveler can take. Get all the rest to go for Levelers. Byt the time the first Flashes arrive you should have some Instigators and maybe 1 or 2 Levelers. You can hold back the first couple of Flashes with this. Then you should be able to get your Commander over there to help build Levelers. These will come out pretty fast and you'll be able to hold out the Flashes. Then when you've got about 10 Levelers start building Raiders instead of Instigators. The Levelers can kill Flashes in one shot and all the other units have to do is get in the way of the Flashes. They're all expendable. After you hit about 20 Levelers, switch back to only building on at a time and get CVs coming out. Continue from there. You should also build metal and energy when ever it's needed.
