Strategy

Use these alongside other turrets to defend from heavier raids and assaults. It is advised to place at least one of these at outposts.

Counters

If left alone, it will be dislodged by anything, even a simple Flea. But when paired with even a simple Lotus, it becomes far more dangerous to siege, utilize skirmishers or artillery to destroy the other Turrets then clean up the Faraday with raiders. Be careful to not tightly group your raiders when attacking a Faraday, as it has a sizable area of effect, and can stun many raiders at once.

Other Information

• Using just these in very high numbers is simply not cost efficient, it only takes 2 Faraday to permanently stun an enemy unit, so any more than this is just excessive.
