For the 8th boss strike we have 3 new air units as rewards for tier 3, 7, and 10. All 3 of them all look pretty decent but I will be going into each ones stats separately. This unit is the tier 10 reward for this Boss Strike.

Notes: A recent attack for quick damage when you don't want to waste a higher power attack. Actually a decent attack when used in combat.

Attack 3: Shockwave
Damage Type: Explosive
Range: 1-5
Line of Fire: Indirect
Cooldown: 7 Rounds
Base Crit:25% vs Vehicles
Damage: (Rank 1: 26-36) (Rank 9: 101 - 140)
Can not damage Air or LTA
Notes: Holy shit. I tested this attack at rank 9 and it absolutely dominates. With a crit and full damage spread this attack can wipe the board in just a few turns. Also, the sound file for this attack is boss.

My Opinion: A very cool and powerful unit. Its a bit frail at its lowers levels but once it hits about rank 7 it can dominate the battlefield from the back. The RS17 suffers from a weakness to explosives so make sure you have a good blocking unit on hand or take out explosive units first. On top of performance this unit has a cool look and awesome sound effects for its attacks.
