Spitterbug

These slow maggot-looking creatures attack by spitting at its target causing severe damage from a great distance. They smell awful on the inside too.

The Spitterbug has high HP for a ranged enemy but has quite a low amount of damage. However they have a high rate of fire, partially ignore armor and usually appear in groups of 3 or more, making them a dangerous foe.

Strategies

 * Spitterbugs ignore armor, but not by a large margin, which means that mechs are still viable and generally effective against them.
 * Rangers can survive against them to an extent, but since Spitterbugs outrange them, they will not be able to compete as well and will usually be picked off from far away. They can be moved in to combat these creatures, but the player should be careful as they usually lurk near more enemies.
 * Snipers have an Achilles' heel against these enemies. Despite rivaling their range they possess little health and can be easily killed by Spitterbugs before they are able to deal sufficient damage. Therefore, it is recommended to keep Snipers at the base or behind many durable units.
