An artist in the field.
—A Seitaad ready to make the battlefield "colorful"

The Seitaad Ballista is a Foehn stolen tech unit acquired by infiltrating any of the Soviet labs and Construction Yard.

Designed for both siege and support purposes, the Seitaad Ballista mounts an EMP cannon which leaves vehicles vulnerable for its next attack: a hail of nanofiber threads that can rip enemy armor and structures apart with ease.

Official description[]

The Seitaad Ballista combines two of the most sophisticated technologies from the Soviet and the Foehn workshops: the electromagnetic pulse, and the weaponized nanofiber threads. The EMP weapon created for the Seitaad Ballista is more similar to the one unleashed through the Chinese EMP Control Station, as it affects multiple units in a small area, making them all vulnerable to the attack that comes next: a barrage of sharp, hardened nanofiber threads, which are also used for combat by the Last Bastion. The nanofiber threads can pierce through all sorts of enemy armor and structures with little effort, making the Seitaad Ballista a threatening weapon, with little to no weaknesses.[1]

Overview[]

A war artist who can siege and destroy a large-scale armored force, in a large-scale team battle, its powerful aoe damage and the ability to disables vehicles can make the enemy suffer, and not only that, he can also enter Tank Bunker (only possible when friendly forces or Epsilon technology are available).

Even so, it can't be taken lightly,the introduction says it has "no weakness",but it has a poor effect on large-scale infantry and has a minimum range. Although the model looks large, it still can't be immune to high-level crush.
