The Medusa is the second artillery military unit of the Oceanic Future. It is unlocked by research the technology Deepwater Drilling. It is trained in the Medusa Silo.
The Medusa is a very special artillery unit: it has the longest range of all units, and the slowest movement along with the Rapid Deployment ability, so it is effectively rooted to the spot the second it lands (funnily enough, it even has terrain bonuses). Compared to other Oceanic Future units, the Medusa has the joint highest attack, along with C.R.A.B. Mechs but a rather low defense. It has great bonuses against light units and heavy units, and it has the Blast ability.
Usage[]
The Medusa is potentially a very questionable unit, in terms of its usage. It is very strong because an army of 8 Medusas can easily eliminate a lot of units on the first turn (unless enemy units have special defensive skills), making it very good for an annoying defensive army, and its very high attack (with the combined effects of its Blast ability) is also very significant at damaging a lot of units.
However, in the attacking army, the Medusa cannot really do much after its first attack; they can easily be eliminated in the enemy turns afterwards, as they have a low defense and may spawn very close to the enemy, allowing them to be destroyed very easily.
