Strategy
keep it away from enemies when its alone, obviously. Very useful to hide a large army before launching a raid. Use in combination with fragile units to minimize how much they take damage. Use in combination with anti-heavies, such as multiple Lances, to deal large surprise damage to enemy Striders. Be wary of Sparrow's decloaking explosion when it dies, your army may be decloaked by a surprise Sparrow from the opposition. It does not have a Personal Cloak, it must use it's Area Cloak, be careful of this.
Other Information
- Cannot activate cloak underwater, still jams radars, but not sonars.
- Reduces decloak range of most other cloaked units while they are under it's Area Cloak range, excludes other Irises while they are active.
