Strategy

Do not use these on the frontline, it lacks the health and range to duel opposing units. Instead sneak past the aforementioned frontline to inflict serious damage to the backline economy, prioritize expensive structures, such as factories, Fusion Reactors and Singularity Reactors if unprotected. If an enemy air player is present their factory and supportive structures can be a priority target as well if there are no undefended Energy Structures.

Counters

Don't space your backline economic structures too far from each other, these decloak the Scythes while they walk past, but if spaced incorrectly the Scythes can walk a single-file line past the structures to level the more important economy. If you notice a lack of units from an opposing Cloakbots player they may be massing Scythes, be wary of this, and utilize large numbers of cheap fast units, such as Fleas to locate them before they can strike a critical target, or defend your important backline economy with turrets like Lotus or a Faraday.
