Hovertank

General Information
The Hovertank is unit commonly used in the early stages of the game, it pairs quite well with the Scout, as you can use the Hovertank to support the Scout in an ambush while exploring the map. This unit has the ability to hover over water (hence the name) but cannot hover over lava, this also applies to any land units. It's quite weak in attack and health so keep that in mind if you plan to use this unit.

Using the Hovertank
This unit is quite weak and not too cost effective, so try to avoid using it as a primary unit but rather as support to more powerful units like the Heavy Tank. Since this unit is weak, beware of splash damage (eg Artillery) and rapid fire.

Countering the Hovertank
​​​​Splash damage like the Artillery Turret works well against this unit. Rapid fire will also be useful. T1 tanks are also relatively powerful against this unit.

Decent speed
