Tech 1 – Aeon Air Units

MIRAGE – AIR SCOUT

The Air Scout is extremely inexpensive, and it’s this virtue that makes it useful. While an interceptor will often get farther into an enemy base, a single air scout in your build queue will let you stockpile a set of scouts that can crisscross the map looking for a lightly defended way in, and for exactly 1 mass per second.

CONSERVATOR – INTERCEPTOR

Interceptors are the bread and butter of your air defense. They’re fast, effective, and cheap, meaning you can set Engineers to build more without having to pause your other projects. I recommend having one Air Factory set to build infinite interceptors for the entire game.

SHIMMER – ATTACK BOMBER

The Aeon attack bomber is lackluster compared to the others. The bomb has a good area of effect, but it only drops a single bomb instead of the group of shots the other bombers fire, making it less likely to hit land units and less powerful overall against big structures. Of course, a few bombers sent to harass enemy troops make great bait for enemy interceptors, or may even make him panic and start building too many anti-air units – which is just what you want, as you’re able to focus on better things.

CHARIOT – LIGHT AIR TRANSPORT

The advantage of having an early air transport is twofold: you can airlift your assault bots and have a flying gunship to kill enemy T1 forces, or you can make more perilous drops of units or engineers behind enemy lines. Don’t rely on them to live beyond one drop, though; they’re mostly there to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies rather than actually deliver the victory. It transports 6 T1 units, 3 T2 units, or 1 T3 unit.
