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.

Serpent
Serpent is a battle submarine. They have unmatched range and damage, and pose a very big threat to unguarded fleets. Their role can be compared to that of the Sharpshooter bot on land. They can deal heavy damage from afar, but are vulnerable in close quarters combat, and are easily destroyed by submarine killers.
Serpents fire two 825 damage (555 to subs) tracking torpedoes every 8s.
Use them to destroy heavy ships and protect the sea from T3 amphibious units. However, do not rely on them as the only part of your fleet, as they will fail in a clash with advanced torpedo launchers or submarine killers.
