Why you want this in your army
- Instantly strengthens your army in-game
- A great choice to expand after a Starter/Combat Patrol

How it performs in match-ups
- T'Au Empire: Fits well into most builds and supports objective play and pressure.
- Add-ons: We recommend complementing it with units that cover weaknesses (anti-tank, screening, speed).
- Match-up summary: Works best when you play for objectives and choose your trades wisely. Against hordes, keep distance and clear units gradually; against elites, focus fire/attacks on key threats. Against vehicles, ensure anti-tank and focus one target at a time.
