The Hailstorm is a Beta ground unit.

Hailstorms barrage enemy troops from behind the safety of their own front lines. Equipped with a mortar launcher, they rain down explosive shells on their targets.

Overview

• Though slow and structurally weak, Hailstorms can deliver a powerful attack from a large distance.
• Hailstorms can target a specific spot on the ground, effective for clearing out brush or attacking structures that are hidden by Fog of War.
• Group your hailstorms with other units to keep them protected from close range attacks.

Tech upgrades

[[Platform stability upgrade]] Hailstorms gain the ability to move and fire.
