Scarab

Scarab is one of the Vek from Into The Breach.

Description
Scarabs are similar to artillery style Mech weapons. Scarabs will aim in a straight line at a tile and shoot over any tiles in between them and their target.

Strategy
The Scarab is one of the weaker early-game opponents. Unlike the Scorpion or Firefly, the Scarab can be neutralized by almost any single starting Mech without assistance from the rest of the team.

If the Scarab targets a Mech, you can move that Mech (ideally to assist with a more dangerous enemy) and safely ignore the Scarab. If it targets a grid building, you can push/pull the Scarab one tile in any direction (assuming there are no other adjacent grid buildings), or simply kill it, since most starting Mechs are capable of dealing 2 damage in one turn.
