Ashes Founders: PHC talk

Greetings.  This is to go along with the Substrate talk so you can do an apples and apples comparison 

The Units:

Frigates

1. Brute.  Short range, low damage spam unit. Anti T1s
2. Archer. Medium range, low rate of fire, medium damage. Weak against T1s, good against T2s. 
3. Scout. Provides radar which extends effectie range of missile units (like Archer). Also very fast, awesome for retaking ungarded regions.
4. Medic. Heals nearby units.

Cruisers

1. Nemesis. Very low rate of fire. Weapon pierces all armor making it a 1 shot, 1 kill ranged unit. Easily overwhelmed by cheap units.
2. Artemis.  Artillery unit.
3. Zeus.  Armoed, very good at taking out mass T1s. Weak against T2s and T3s.
4. Apollo. Anti-Drone, Anti-Air.

Dreadnoughts

1. Cronus.  Siege unit. Hang back and destroy everything at a distance.
2. Hyperion. Assault unit. Good at taking control of an area. Very tough to kill. Good at taking out T1s and T2s.
3. Prometheus. Anti-T3 unit. Will kill T3s relatively easily but vulnerable to T2s and T1s.

Air:

1. Pan. Scout, gives players vision and radar coverage. Decent light harassment unit with its pulse anti-building weapon.
2. Fury. Air superiority. Can attack ground units but not very good at it. It will shred anything in the air.
3. Hades. Bomber. Its bombs are really good against soft targets (ones without armor). Less good against heavy armor (like a Nexus).

The PHC doesn't have shields but instead has three types of Armor:

1. Light Armor: 20% damage mitigation against normal attacks
2. Heavy Armor: 40% damage mitigation against normal attacks
3. Nexus Armor: 60% damage mitigation against normal attack

Brute has Light Armor

Nemesis weapon shoots through armor

Prometheus primary weapon goes through Heavy Armor

Nova bombs (Hades) will go through light armor without penalty

Cronus missile barrage will go through Nexus Armor.

Note: Substrate units have NO armor at all. Only shields that recharge.
