Strategic Uses
Initial Placement
Often the first unit deployment structure built, the Scouts offered are very effective even against other units later in the game due to fast reloading shots and are easy to spam in large amounts.
Anti-Chronite
A key unit is the Scout, which is most effective against Chronite armor. Although Marines may be a threat, with proper kiting and micro, it is possible to win this battle and gain battlefield control.
