Strider

"Strider!" ~ Half-life 2 "'A fearsome tripod synth with heavy armor and a pulse cannon that obliterates everything in it's path'"Unit for the Combine.

"Super" unit, accessible late-game. One of the most powerful in the game.

Overview
The strider is a slow moving unit, with large health pool, and a number of high-powered abilities. Usually available only late in the match, because of the large amount of preparing needed to produce them, and their cost.

They are equipped with a Pulse Cannon, and are able to output massive amounts of damage in seconds. They also serve as an excellent frontline to distract the enemy, while the rest of the army is making a push.

Dark Energy Cannon
"'Fires a devastating blast of dark energy.'"Cast ability. When used, a strider directs a beam towards the point that was choosen, and after a short delay, 325 raw damage is being dealt in 192 hammer unit radius.

Speed
"'Increases Strider's speed at cost of energy.'"A toggleable ability, draining 4 energy per second while on. It doubles strider's speed.
