Strategies:-
This Imp has three main roles, to defend, to repoc and to capture the poc. Using its ability to disguise
as an enemy unit, the Imp is a fairly good repoccer both in early stages and the
later stages. However, just by checking to who-list provided in the game, any
one can find out who is the real ally and who is the real enemy. But disguise
can avoid artillery fire from Arbalest and the Trebuchet. They also cannot be
auto-targetted. Imps are also very good for cloaking
Defensive role:-
Imps are pretty good defenders unless they meet up with a group of fast
hit-and-run units. Their flamethrowers are very effective against other
Biological and low-armored units. Flamethrowers causes splash damage that can
hit multiple units though only targeting at one. By hiding at a corner near the
poc but away from the enemy's view, you can stay out of trouble and concentrate
on the nearby enemy forces. Once the enemy is coming into view and is poccing,
turn on disguise or cloak and slowly go round the enemy to enter from the back.
Make sure your Imps stand in a way that all the units will get hit by the
flames, thus lessening your pain. Using cloak, you can go round almost totally
undetected and pop up suddenly to rain fire on them.
Offensive role:-
Since Imps cannot be arbbed or auto-targeted by enemy units, a good way to
sucessfully capture the poc is to get infil, along with 1 or 2 groups of
Aviation units to follow you. The bigger, the better. While the Aviation units
are covering you, you walk with them while disguise is turned on. This prevents
any nearby hostile units from attacking you. When the pack has all reached the
poc, you will most likely start to hear sounds of Arbalests deploying. But they
can't attack you so you are safe...for now. The only ways to attack an disguised
unit is to use an Albatross with the Infil Detector or by manually clicking on
the unit. With the new unit, Manta, which is extremely big, Imps can take refuge
under the Manta while walking towards the PoC. Because the Manta's original role
is to clear the air mines for other Air Units, Mantas have very high HP. This
makes them able to withstand for a certain period of time to cover the Infils.
