Strike Back

The Strike Back is an attack that is nice to have but is not essential to win a battle. What happens is that when a group of Units with this caracteristic is attacked, the Units in that group who survive, will attack automatically attack without using any Movement.

But this attack has some limitations, not all attacks are likely to be counter attacked, the next images help you to understand these limitations:

The Praetorian is an unit that has the ability to Strike Back and in all examples, we will show you attacks on Praetorian. In the first image Praetorian does not Strike Back because they are being attacked by Spider that have the ability to [Paralyze], the Praetorian will not Strike Back because they are paralyzed.

In the second image Praetorian are being attacked by Eagle, but Eagle and Praetorian have Raptor between them, and so Eagle will use the Catapult, wich will block the [Pretorian Strike Back ability.

The third attack also does not cause Strike Back because the Kamikaze are not frontally attacking the Praetorian.

Finally, the fourth attack is the only one that will cause Strike Back, because the Raptor are frontally attacking Praetorian and do not have any ability to avoid the Strike Back.

There are still two other situation in wich the Strike Back is not activated. In the case of the unit with Strike Back does not have enough Range to Strike Back. For example if Praetorian are attacked by Nova in a Range of 5, they will not respond to the attack because they have only Range 3. The last situation where the Strike Back is not activated, is when the unit (eg: Praetorian) with the ability of Strike Back is reached by Rebound.
