Game Usage
- Hera is a heavy cruiser and can be considered tier 2.5 units, bridging the gap between standard cruisers and dreadnoughts. Hera can be treated as a slow but high range and high damage Athena (albeit its DPS is actually lower than Athena, not accounting for armor reduction of the target).
- Hera weapon can target frigates. While it's generally considered overkill damage and a waste of weapon cooldown, Hera is not completely helpless vs frigates and a critical mass of Hera will actually do decently vs frigates. Coupled with anti-frigate cruisers, this weakness can be significantly negated.
- Hera speed is particularly slow. This makes an attack involving them is never a surprise. This also makes them a very nice target for Hades and Strategic Bomber as their weaponry will have very close to 100% accuracy when targeting Hera clumped formation.
- Once a critical mass is reached, Hera durability combined with its good range poses very serious threat and requires an AoE-clearing Juggernaut, AoE from air (so as not to take the damage) or a nuke (Orbital Strike or Antimatter Detonation) to deal with.
