Overview

The Blastwing is the Gunship Plant's raider, it is a cheap, flying scout which can detonate to cause an explosion when it's shrapnel lands. When idle, by default it lands on the floor and becomes cloaked.

Statistics

Health: 480
Movespeed: 234 Elmo/s
Cost(Metal/Energy): 45
Vision Range: 500 Elmos

Blastwing Bomb

Typical Damage: 250
Range: Self
Reloadtime: Single-Use
Area of Effect: 256 Elmos

Sets hit targets on fire (for 6 seconds? untested yet)

Strategy

In the Gunship earlygame, use these to raid opponent Metal Extractors and Wind Generators. These chain-react when one explodes, so it can be advantageous to separate them moderately in a line formation, then surround your target before closing in on them. If you see a Rover army, throw these at them, it will do something, the Rover player's wrath is not guaranteed.

Counters

Supposedly, Pickets counter these, otherwise use anti-air units or turrets spaced properly to hit the Blastwings before they can hit something important.

Other Information

A swarm of about 16-20 can kill an unsupported level 1 Commander.

-The Blastwing does only a small amount of damage, suitable for taking out [[Metal Extractor]]s, [[Lotus]] or [[Picket]] towers, [[Wind/Tidal Generator]]s and [[Caretaker]]s, though it can offer a more formidable punch en-masse.
-Do not pack them too tightly, as a group of them can chain explode. Blastwings fly close to the ground and can be accidentally set off if they stick around for too long in flame left by other Blastwings.
