Caregiver Substrate - Caregiver Substrate-Caregiver.jpg General Information Type Cruiser Constructed by Assembly Cost Time 40 seconds Metal 280 Radioactives 75 Logistics 6 Stats Spawn Count 1 Hit Points 450 Shield 900 Sight Radius 1000 Radar Radius 1015 Tool - Caregiver Shield Regenerator DPS 30 Range 525 The Caregiver is a cruiser-class ship for the Substrate. Support unit. Replenishes shields of nearby allied units. Lore This unarmed support cruiser recharges the shields of all nearby allied units. It has no other weaponry to speak of and is useless in direct combat, but the service it provides to Substrate armies is absolutely critical. Tactics While the single target healing of Caregiver cannot match that of the Medic, its AoE definitely make up for it. However, this only gains value if the army is receiving AoE damage. Sufficient amount of Caregivers can potentially undo the effect of EMP Pulse orbital very quickly and numerous amount of them could help a Substrate army withstand the combo usage of EMP Pulse and Plasma Storm orbitals. Caregivers overall performs worse than Medics, due to them being cruisers, thus susceptible to most weaponry and their AoE rarely again enough values. Image Gallery
