Overseer

''The ace up Rob070's sleeve, Overseers are formidable Peripheroid's champions. Barrages of deadly missiles, strong armor, and even stronger melee skills make it an army on their own. Smart enough to retreat if it is at a disadvantage, Overseers are a tactician's nightmare.''


 * Spawns Inductors on death
 * Ranged and Melee combat

Threat: VERY HIGH

Overseers are very strong, sentient flying robots that are only encountered on Ascendaar. They are the most powerful non-boss enemies in the game, and are classified as a mini-boss meaning they cannot be instant-killed.

Missile Barrage: An overseer will take flight, and launch 2 heat seeking missiles from the left and right side of it's body. These missiles will never miss, and target the units furthest away from the Overseer.

Swipe Attack: Overseers have an area melee attack, making them capable of hitting multiple units at a time. They attack by lifting their two front legs up and slamming them down.

Retreat: If an Overseer takes too much damage, it will retreat back to get out of range.

Strategy

 * Use brawlers to absorb the meatshield for other units. Their health pool is enormous, allowing them to stand up to Overseers for a long time. Support brawlers with ranged units such as Rangers and Shellstorms.
 * Snipers and Channelers are not effective against Overseers. Since their health is low, the player will tend to put them far away from an Overseer, which will cause the Overseer's missiles to lock on and shred them. Putting them close will not work either, as an Overseer's area attack will decimate them. Furthermore, their IK techs are useless, as Overseers cannot be IK'd.
 * Guardian spam will work good, and will work even better in conjunction with Brawlers and other units. However, guardians have no armor, meaning they will come out of the fight very damaged. Retreat them back to heal if this happens, but be wary of the missiles of an Overseer.
 * Diplomats are a godsend in a fight against an Overseer. Their stun orbs can disrupt the missile barrage, and their shield ability is crucial to keep your units alive. Two sets of diplomats are highly recommended when fighting against Overseers.
