Ion Carrier

A Carrier boarded by an Ion Trooper is charged with great electric power. The Ionic Carrier attacks charging an intense polarized beam.

This attack can be interrupted if the Carrier is damaged while charging.

Ion carriers can be considered the aerial equivalents of ion troopers. Their attacks deal a very high damage capable of killing most units within a couple of hits.

Special: The charge of the attack can be interrupted if the ion carrier is damaged. Ejects ion trooper on death.

Strategy

 * Since they are aerial enemies, the best option would be Shellstorms as they deal x5 damage to aerial enemies.
 * Engineers are another good choice, as they will use their plasma rays on ion carriers.
 * Diplomat's can protect units while interrupting the charge process with their stun attack.
 * Channelers will deal minimal damage as they do not use their psychic rays. Therefore they are not recommended.
