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; 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.

Unit of the day
Janus
The Janus fires twin medium-ranged missiles with each shot, which deal 660 maximum damage in a large radius. Its large single shot damage makes it a very deadly unit in the T1 stage. Use them to pack a powerful punch when dealing with high health units such as medium tanks and enemy Commanders.
Combine with Stout for a strong combo- Janus softens up groups of enemy units, while Stouts can tank incoming damage and clean up anything that survives the Janus salvo.
The Janus has a long reload time, so engage the enemy with care and support them with other units.
Use Set Target to prevent wasting their powerful missiles on cheap fodder.
A common tactic to counter Janus is luring their heat-seeking missiles into the midst of allied formations - another good reason to micromanage your Janus regiment.
The Janus cannot see as far as it can shoot, so it's important to pair it with high-vision units or Radar Towers. Its missiles also cannot track air units, making it vulnerable to Shurikens.
