Spadefin Skimmer

The Spadefin Skimmer is a Tritons unit of the Invaders agenda. The Spadefin Skimmer was released in Series 4: Now!.

Strategy & Tactics

 * The Spadefin Skimmer brings Tow to the Invaders agenda where the ability was previously only available through splashing a Pteradactix. This is especially important for use with Power Pods, Nullifier Pods, and the slower Triton units, particularly Nautilus Blasters.
 * Tow can also be used in concert with Explosion from a Marauder. Don't be afraid to sacrifice the Skimmer by towing a unit into position for a big explosion attack.
 * Extinguish can be vital for clearing the board of hazards, especially for the pedestrian Triton monsters Anglax and Krakenoctus. It can open avenues for attacks that would otherwise be too dangerous to exploit.
 * The ideal placement for a Spadefin Skimmer is near the middle of the board where it can easily tow a friendly unit into position, tow an enemy unit away from a key location, or be able to easily move to extinguish any hazards that may appear.
 * Because the Spadefin Skimmer has both Tow and Extinguish on one figure, it is one of the most popular splashes for pedestrian monsters from other Agendas without other access to those abilities. While other Tow or Extinguish figures could be splashed, the Skimmer having both makes it a more efficient and economical splash.
