Raider Cards

The Raider Faction is encountered during many Tyrant missions. During play, Raider cards will become available for addition to your Deck.

Raider cards are designated by a brown title bar.

Strengths[]

• Armor
  The Raiders have many of the most heavily Armored cards in the game, such as Juggernaut and Pyro Rig.
• Siege
  The Raiders are the unquestioned kings of both fast and slow Siege, with cards like Cannon Walker, Omega or the almighty Bolide Walker.
• Firepower
  The combo of Rally, Strike, Flurry, Swipe and Enfeeble in all sizes is able to destroy every enemy in no time.
• Buildings
  Almost all popular buildings in the game come from Raiders, among these Missile Silo, Gatling Tower and Command Center.

Weaknesses[]

• Lack of certain skills
  Raider cards don't have the following skill: Siphon.
• Flying
  Few Raider units have Flying. Here is part of the list:

• Orbo (1/1/0, Reward for Arena rating Silver)
• Lodestar (2/3/1, Promotional Rare)
• Cyclone (2/2/1, Standard Common)
• Chopper (1/3/1, Standard Common)
• Drones (3/2/2, Standard Common)
• Pelican (1/6/2, Standard Uncommon)
• Heli-Duster (1/4/1, Homeworld Uncommon)
• X8 Gunboat (4/5/3, Promotional Rare)

Among these cards, Orbo, Chopper and Drones are seldom considered in high-end decks.

• Healing
  Few Raider cards have Healing. Here is part of the list:

• Yurich (Heal All 1, Commander, Nexus Rare)
• Waypoint (Heal All 1, Structure, Promotional Rare)
• Cassandra (Heal Single 1, Commander, Purity Common)
• Salvager (Heal Single 1, Assault, Raid reward from Miasma honor)
• Warehouse (Heal Single 1, Structure, Faction level 8 reward)
• Power Generator (Heal Single 1, Structure, Enclave Common)
• Machine Mill (Heal Single 2, Structure, Promotional Rare)
• Goliath (Heal Single 2, Assault, Nexus Legendary)
• Blitz Armor (Heal Single 2, Assault, Standard Uncommon)
• Combat Specialist (Heal Single 1, Assault, Standard Common)
• Assembly Plant (Heal Single 1, Structure, Reputation reward from)
• Foundry (Heal Single 1, Structure, Standard Common)
• Radio Officer (Heal All 1, Assault, Awakening Rare)

Most of the time, a Raider deck with Healing may need to use universal Heal All cards, like Apollo and Absorption Shield, and Supply cards mostly from other factions.

• Health
  Many of the Raider's most armored units have 3 Health or less, such as Tremor Hunter. The assaults with extra health, Gun Raven and Mobile Command are considered merely meat shields, while most attackers are considerably fragile.
