Overview

The Convict is the Shieldbot Factory's constructor. It is equipped with a small shield, boosting its survivability and allowing for some useful protective tactics.

Strategy

The Convict’s shield is especially useful in the early game. It can keep a half-built turret safe from a pesky raider long enough for construction to finish. Marching them alongside Bandits creates a strong anti-turret push. Later in the game, packing a few Convicts into your shieldball adds extra shield regen to the army and lets the Convicts safely reclaim nearby wrecks.

Counters

Raiders can still pick off undefended Convicts, particularly if you micro them inside the shield radius.
Units with splash weapons (e.g. Ripper or Ogre) can deal minor damage through the Convict's shield.

+The '''Convict''' is the [[Shield|Shieldbot Factory]]'s constructor. It is equipped with a small shield, boosting its survivability and allowing for some useful protective tactics.
-Besides its primary duty as a constructor, the Convict's shield has many uses in combat. From protecting your [[Bandit|Bandits]] in early raids, to building [[Lotus|Lotuses]] inside the range of enemy [[Picket|Pickets]], to recharging the shields of allied combat units, the utility of the Convict is exceptional. It's also a reasonably efficient constructor for its cost.
