Despoiler

Despoiler is a Martian Menace unit of the Invaders agenda. Despoiler was released in Series 3: All Your Base.

Strategy & Tactics

 * The Elite Despoiler is more useful than its grunt counterpart. Red Sniper allows the Despoiler to grant the ability to monsters or other units that can make better use of it.  This is especially useful when used with units like the Tritons Nautilus Blaster which already has Armor Piercing giving a potential -2 to its target's defense when it attacks alone.  (To say nothing of adding a Nullifier Pod near the target for Weaken - you could potentially hit a 5-defense monster with only two dice!.)
 * Placing an Elite Despoiler adjacent to a Nautilus Blaster not only grants the other unit Sniper, but also grants the Despoiler Power Gorge, allowing for two effective solo attacks that also gain extra Power Dice.
 * The Elite Despoiler is extremely effective when combined with Phobos-7, reducing the defense of all the monster's targets by one. If used alongside Mega Phobos-7 both the Despoiler and the monster gain a total of -2 to their target's defenses, due to the combination of Red Sniper and Red Armor Piercing.
