Scorpion is one of the Vek from Into The Breach.
Description[ | ]
The Scorpion resembles the creature it is named after, stinger included. It is able to be encountered from the start as a regular enemy. Its goal is to restrict units' mobility with webbing, then attack them.
Strategy[ | ]
The Scorpion is dangerous during the early game for two reasons:
- If it webs one of your mechs, you may be forced to make inefficient moves with your other mechs to free the webbed mech.
- It has 3 health, and relatively few starting mechs are capable of dealing 3 damage in one turn.
Its weakness is its low mobility, so deploying your mechs where they can still escape webbing while dealing with other threats is imperative. Alternatively, if you keep your mechs just out of its movement range, it will waste its web attack on grid buildings, which are already stationary. Your mechs will then be free to push it or kill it on the following turn.
