Squids ARE Tanks But…
They do much less damage than bots or bugs, with the exception of harvesters (aim for the joints where legs meet head, fyi).
Furthermore, they aren’t very good shots.
Their difficulty actually comes from the fact that they combine tactics of both factions: hordes plus heavy fire. Plus, you know, they fly now…
Long story short, I’ve tailored my load like this: bug chaff and devastators. If you combine what you bring for these, those squids are fucking sushi.
