A Gauss Cannon
Gauss Cannon is a Green unit. It's part of the basic set.
Strategy
Gauss Cannons are the basic Green attack units in Prismata. Based on the Green resource, the advantage of Gauss Cannons is that they can be massed at a certain point when enough has been collected. This can be very important when facing blocking units with Frontline for you to reach the attack required to take them out.
Compared to other basic units, Gauss Cannons are not as efficient as Tarsiers, which can be massed out for much cheaper. They also do not contribute to blocking purposes like the Steelsplitters. However, Gauss Cannons do have 5 health, making them much more durable when a breach occurs. This high health also makes them a solid counter to Apollo, who cannot snipe the Cannons.
A common mistake when massing Gauss Cannons is to also supplement it with an excessive amount of defense. To take full value of the Gauss Cannons requires also taking advantage of the very high health they have when the game whittles down into the late-game. Forcefield pairs nicely into this mind-set by converting your drones into a higher defense. However, playing with Gauss Cannons also means that having low-health attackers is not a great idea, since you are likely to be breached first.
