The Scorcher unlocks at Headquarters level 18. Contrary to his comrade the Tank, the Scorcher moves more quickly, but fires at a shorter range.
Each Scorcher costs 12 Gunboat Energy to deploy.
After attacking a building for a few seconds, the Scorcher will change targets even if its target is not destroyed yet.
If you want the Scorchers to attack one particular building, the best thing is to use a Flare to direct the Scorchers manually.
The Scorcher has a large amount of health but a relatively low DPS for the size it takes, so it is best used to soak damage to protect damage-dealing troops.
When the Scorcher gets destroyed he leaves with a bang, harming everything nearby – including your own troops!
