Unit Strategy Quotes Gallery Trivia

Unlike its counterpart in other factions the Avenger is only capable of damaging aircraft, a job it completes with much more efficiency compared to its counterparts thanks to its powerful high energy laser armament.

Additionally, it can "paint" targets with a non-lethal targeting laser, which boosts the rate of fire of any units targeting the same target. It has no other attacks against enemy ground units, but it is large enough to crush infantry. Finally when upgraded with Point Defence Lasers, the Avenger can also defend against enemy rockets and missiles with its PDL system. It is capable of neutralizing artillery missiles like that of the GLA Grad. Its PDL makes it an effective and essential escort for US armored columns.

Like all manned US vehicles, each Avenger can be individually upgraded with either a Battle Drone or a Targeteer Drone. The Advanced Training upgrade increases the rate at which it gains veterancy.

Tactics[]

Avengers are useful for mixing in with Crusaders and Paladins especially because of their point defence lasers which protect the Crusaders. They are decent air defence.

Counters[]

Since the Avenger, unlike most anti-air units, are unable to attack ground units, they are sitting ducks in most combat situations. They do, however, stand a good chance against missile units, and infantry can, more often than not, be run over. Other than that, the Avenger should ALWAYS be escorted.
