Heavy Artillery

The Heavy Artillery is among the most powerful long-range units in the game, packing a great deal of firepower at excellent distances. This unit even comes with a personal laser defense system, which enables it to intercept incoming projectiles and prevent itself from taking damage. This units greatest weakness happens to be its cost, which is very staggering.

Strategy & Tips
The Heavy Artillery is incredibly powerful on the offensive, boasting some of the longest range in the game in addition to a very strong attack, this unit is designed to siege. Unlike other artillery units, which are almost utterly defenseless against an enemy attack, the Heavy Artillery is able to offset this thanks to a laser defense system, which allows it to intercept incoming projectile attacks for a time until it runs out of energy.

This units price is the most limiting attribute for its use, as spending over $3000 for an artillery unit rarely has cost-effective applications. Additionally, its laser defense is very short-lived against focused enemy attack, and only really protects this unit against one or two small enemy units attempting to exploit the units low health.

Advantages

 * Deals significant damage at long range.
 * Laser defense system briefly provides immunity to projectiles.
 * Has the highest health of any artillery.

Disadvantages

 * Extremely costly to produce, at $3100 each.
 * Takes over 30 seconds to build, leaving the factory unoccupied until then.
 * Laser Defense cannot protect against lightning.
