Freedom Guard Unit Descriptions and Strategies:
Spider Bikes

screenshot These extremely swift units have a quick attack, which is quite effective against enemy armored units but less effective against infantry.

Vulnerabilities
Spider Bikes are quite vulnerable to infantry attacks, since their own attacks are less effective against infantry. Spider Bikes are also relatively weakly armored and consequently unable to survive direct assaults against most Imperium armor for very long.

How to Get the Most out of Spider Bikes
Use the speed of these units to their advantage. Unless absolutely necessary, don't engage in prolonged assaults against numerous opponents, and use their speed in order to retreat back for repairs as soon as their damage level gets critical. Spider Bikes also make excellent scouts because of their speed and maneuverability - use them to probe the limits of your enemy's base and to take out buildings and cameras that are undefended by turrets. It's a good idea to keep a group of Spider Bikes in reserve around your base as a defensive force as well, as they'll be able to respond quickly when it looks like your forces are in danger of being overrun. Try sneaking behind Tachion Tanks using their superior range to try to take out your turrets from a safe distance. Chances are the Tachion Tanks will be unable to redirect their fire at you before taking some serious damage.
