Yga'r Icethrower

''The Yga'r have developed amazing ice carbines used primarily to repel dangerous beasts while collecting spores. They now use them to defend their people from total annihilaton.''


 * Stun attack
 * Patrols around the Warhall
 * Recruited in the Ga'r Warhall

*The spore must flow!*

Yga'r Icethrowers are Ga'r units that can be recruited through the Warhall. They are unlocked in the first stage of Borealis, Ice Breaker. Recruiting an icethrower costs 50 etherwatts, recruiting a second costs 100, and recruiting a third costs 150. The second and third are available through the Scalable Systems tech upgrade. They are fragile ranged attackers with a long ranged icy attack. They have a slow attack rate, attacking once every 2 seconds. However, their ice carbines have the innate ability of freezing enemies for 1 second.

Strategy

 * Yga'r Icethrowers are expensive, which is why, similar to Fenga'r Warriors, they should not be recruited unless the player has a surplus amount of etherwatts. However, once recruited they are somewhat effective against disrupting the Raad's attacks. Their freeze ability allows them to disrupt the charge of Quantum Carriers and Pyre Carriers.
 * However, most of the times these enemies will come closer to the Yga'r which is how they are prone to being attacked. The Yga'r themselves cannot move far from the Warhall they were recruited in. This makes them fairly limited in mobility.
 * Yga'r are also good when used in conjunction with Channelers. Their freeze attack keeps Channelers safe from harm while their psionic beam gains traction.
