Roster

Chas'Ki

Cha'Kru Chas'ki

Chakru T1 Merc Unit

Ranged warrior which moves faster out of combat. Attacks ground and air units.

Author Rating: B

Roles: Ranged, Anti-Medium, DPS, Hexite Dump

Synergies: Melee, Tank, Rageborn

  • Spawns in Trios

  • Affordable, Reliable and decent DPS

  • Up-ranked by the lack of a Hexite Cost

  • Useful boost in firepower during the early game; Stays relevant afterwards

  • Out-ranged by an upgraded Lasher; Shoots slower than a Lasher

  • Out-performs a Lasher when upgraded

  • Smallest DPS option, 50% smaller than a Lasher; Most Size-Efficient

  • Very fast; Quick Reinforcement but requires more micro

  • Fast speed can permit certain speed-running tactics; Also ensure they can reliably target enemies

  • Fast speed can also result in running into enemies

  • Caution: Larger and Swarmy Tank units can push the Chas'Ki into enemy units

  • Utilizing a separate Control Group for Chas'Ki and Cultists can help prevent issues

  • Utilizing Chas'Ki over Lashers saves roughly 400 Flux per match

  • Projectile speed is similar to Lasher

  • +50% Damage to Medium

  • Can target Air

Cultist

Cha'Kru Cultist

Chakru T1 Merc Unit

Heals biological units. Has the ability to cloak nearby units.

Author Rating: B-

Roles: Ranged, Support, Healer

Synergies: Every Unit

  • Spawns in Pairs

  • Not-so-Affordable; Not very Reliable

  • Shortest range out of all the Healer units (4)

  • Significantly out-ranged by all other Healer units

  • Remember that range can be the deciding factor in whether an unit lives or dies

  • Heal output is pretty okay; Much Faster Heal Speed than Weavers

  • Faster Heal Speed ensures more benefits from Attack Speed Boosting Effects

  • Cannot Heal Mechanical units/structures

  • Benefits more than usual from Range boosting effects

  • 50% Smaller than a Weaver

  • Caution: Cultists are often pushed into the enemy by allied melee units

  • However, Cultists seem to have more survivability when pushed than Weavers

  • Cannot attack enemies

  • Can target air

Rageborn

Cha'Kru Rageborn

Chakru T2 Merc Unit

Slams ground every 4th attack - damaging and slowing nearby enemy units.

Author Rating: D

Roles: Melee, Tank, DPS, Crowd Control, Burst

Synergies: Melee, Tank, Chas'Ki

  • Spawns in Pairs

  • Very poor and gimmicky AoE Damage; Good AoE Size

  • High Infusion Cost for its value

  • Not worth utilizing

  • Cannot target Air

Synergies

  1. Aster:

  • Very Low Synergy; Utility for 1/3 Units

  • At most, the faction can provide a worse alternative to the Commando

  • Cultists can have some utility, as the can heal Biological units (including Aster)

  • However the Rageborn and Chas'Ki do not have any utility for Aster

  • The low mechanical synergy and solid baseline roster deprecates the need to use the Cha'Kru Anqas

  1. Vynthra:

  • Some Synergy; Utility for 2/3 Units

  • Chas'Ki can operate as an effective replacement for Lashers

  • Infusion and Frenzy make them a fairly powerful unit

  • Cost-wise, it's a debatable trade; 400 Flux Saved, Significantly Faster Ramp-up

  • In exchange for missing out on +25% to Medium, 2 Range and a 0.4 faster attack speed

  • Do note the DPS loss is softened by Chas'Ki taking less space, which means you can field more units

  • Proper micro can result in far more pushing potential with Chas'Ki during the early-game

  • Cultists can be an amenable alternative to Weavers; They provide faster healing

  • Low Heal Range for Cultists can be compensated with Infusion; Note Weavers have +5 Heal Range

  • Rageborn serve next-to-no utility

  1. Galavax

  • Low Synergy; Utility for 2/3 Units

  • Chas'Ki can operate as an okay DPS unit for Galavax and a good Hexite Dump

  • However they are out-classed by baseline units like Dark Disciples

  • The low mechanical synergy ensures they are not the ideal choice

Tips When Facing Cha'Kru Anqas Enemies

  • Remember both Cha'Kru Temples are considered the same faction, you will also face Stars units

  • Anqas units, with the exception of the Rageborn, are fragile and vulnerable to AoE

  • Attack Waves containing Chas'Ki will arrive faster at your base; Prepare accordingly
