Scout

Overview
The Scout is the fastest Soldier unit and was introduced in the June 15th update with the Sniper. It can be recruited from the Barracks for $15 and does not need to be researched to recruit. It is the second cheapest Soldier unit in the game, only after the Light Soldier which is $10. It is also comparable in cost to the Heavy Soldier which is $20. Scouts can attack all types of units. You spawn with one Scout at the beginning of the game.

Usage
While the Scout can attack, its primary purpose is to move quickly on the ground from one place to another. This is usually advantageous when building Power Plants at the start of the game as it can move from crystal to crystal quickly while outrunning any other Soldier units such as Light/Heavy Soldiers, Snipers, and so on. However, as the game progresses, Scouts tend to become useless like the Light Soldier and are usually sold in place of Heavy Soldiers, as their attacking abilities are unfavorable and their speed across the ground becomes unneeded.

Strategies
