General information

The Armored Car along with Raiders are the fastest unit in the game.

Armored Cars are considered a defensive unit for war.

Armored Car deal 3x damage vs. resource buildings. Its favorite targets are resource buildings. It has attack range of 3 and training time in 6 min. It takes 6 troop space.

Usage

• With its movement speed, on offense, it is hard for the Defenders to catch up

• On defense, one strategy is to put as Defenders in City Center (or Stronghold for Troop Tactics) due to its speed. It can catch up and kill infantry units very quickly in the wide area, while the offensive planes will have a hard time to aim it

• Offensive planes such as fighters do not do extra damage to Armored cars as they are not classified as tanks, however they can still be effective

• For war, having an alliance member with upgraded armored cars is a great benefit to the alliance. It's common to fill town centers in war with 4 armored cars along with a mix of bazookas and machine guns. It's also considered a premium defensive Stronghold (SH) unit; assuming the SH has a path out (such as a gate or wall opening)

• Armored cars, just like Raiders can be used to clean up after your main troops take out the defenses

• Remember, armored cars are not Raiders. They require oil to produce take up more unit space and do less damage to resource buildings in exchange for more health and better self defense

• Armored cars have a splash damage radius around the unit they attack (Cone damage)

Counters

• Try using a high hit-points troop to soak up the damage, for example a Heavy Tank while your other units destroy it from a safe distance

• Armored cars are weak on offense from all defenses

• Do not send low hit-point units to engage the armored car, if you have no other options surround it as the damage will not splash all of the light units
