The Instigator is an aircraft unit from the Post-Human Coalition.

Heavy air scout which can capture enemy territory.


Lore

The Instigator is a heavy scout aircraft that is tough and with large sight range. Unarmed but can capture regions.

It is armed with the Interdictor Cannon, an inaccurate pulse cannon that does light damage to buildings and smaller ground units, and Energy Transfer Beam, which transfers energy to other friendly units.


Tactics

  • Instigator can be considered an upgraded version of Pan. However, with slow movement speed, it does not function well as a scout. Instead, it's a harassing back lines unit, capable of capturing region as an air unit (and is the only air unit in the game capable of doing so).
  • Instigator can be countered fairly easily either with ASFs or a ground anti-air unit to block the capture progress. The only thing that prevents it from being hard-countered is due to its very good durability.
  • An Instigator in a chaotic battle at the right place can provide very high value harass, such as cutting off undefended nodes that are important links to another group of nodes.
