Armada
Switch to CORTEXOutsmart your foes with Tactical Finesse
Armada's combat doctrine relies on mobility, versatility and stealth, focusing more on direct firepower than indirect artillery. Key features include raiders with anti-air; cloakable metal extractors and fusion reactors; the best radar jammers, including cloakable ones; and efficient single-target-killers like the Starlight and Sharpshooter.
They are somewhat better-suited to an open battlefield than Cortex, possessing a larger mobility advantage with units more specialized in quick and deadly attacks. For attacking entrenched positions, Armada employs powerful EMP weapons to disable defenses and allow a self-sufficient strike force to punch through and wreak havoc.
Their overall strength on land is weighted somewhat towards Vehicles in Tier 2. Their air force is more varied than Cortex, but planes filling simpler roles like fighters and bombers have inferior stats. On defense, Armada is mostly a mirror to Cortex, but their almighty Pulsar turret has no true equal.

Welder
The Welder is a general-purpose assault bot equipped with a lightning cannon. Welders form the heavy infantry core of Armada's bot forces, optimized for killing fast units that would threaten their backline.
Lightning weapons arc to multiple units near the original target, giving Welders greater damage than listed.
It's quite slow and has short range, but is very good at defending weaker units like Hounds and Sharpshooters.
