Template:UnitTabsNoQuotes The Fury Drone is a kamikaze drone used by the Latin Confederation, which burrows into the ground and lies in wait until an enemy gets close, at which it will surprise them by leaping onto the unfortunate enemy before exploding.
Official description
Latin Confederation's Fury Drones keep hiding where they're least expected, buried deep in the ground and invisible to their enemies. When the right moment comes, they ambush them by jumping out of the hole they dug and exploding at the moment of impact.
Fury Drones are perfect infantry and vehicle killers, however they do not become active until they are deployed. Their position can be changed even after the drone has already hidden itself, but if found out it'll be destroyed as easily as the Terror Drones are if proper weapons are used against them. Once a Fury Drone makes a jump, its explosion cannot be stopped.[1]
Overview
Fury Drone is a drone that is suitable as a base defense, Latin Confederation commanders can deploy a large number of Fury Drones on the roads around the base to make them as a "flame mine" and attack the enemies who attempt to attack from these roads, generating flames to stop the enemy reinforcements in the rear to move on.
As a one-time defense unit, Fury Drone is very cheap, despite the high construction requirements. However, once there has unit that can detect stealth in the enemy's offensive forces, Fury Drones will be easily destroyed by enemies outside its defense. Therefore, when such enemies pass through these areas, it is best to transfer the Fury Drones deployed there in time.
