Description[]
The Tempest is an Ultra Cyber unit in Empire Earth. It can be produced in the Digital Age, when Cyber Laboratories become available.
Tempest can use the following powers:
Antimatter Storm[]
Creates a storm that damages all enemy aircraft in a massive area. Much like the Prophet's hurricane, the Antimatter Storm can be controlled and moved like a unit. The storm has 14 speed and lasts 55 seconds. It deals 100 damage every 0.5 seconds (200DPS). Multiple storms at the same time deal additive damage. Costs 100 power.
Resonator[]
Causes enemies to take damage equal to 7 times their attack damage in a small area (about 1 tile). This damage is not reduced by any type of armor. The damage is calculated separately for every unit. The ability has a 1-second delay. Costs 75 power.
Strengths[]
The Tempest has high damage bonus against infantry, killing them in only one hit (or two for the Cyber Ninja). The Resonator ability instanty destroys tanks , Zeus cybers, furies, Skywatcher AAs , Colossus Artillery, Paladin Cannons, and Heavy Mortars, as well as two-shooting many other units like Pandoras.
Casting multiple Anti-Matter Storms devastates enemy Aircraft, as they behave like hurricanes in being able to affect more than one unit at a time.
Weaknesses[]
Low health points and resistance to laser attacks. If only one is faced against a group of six or more Guardians, it will be quickly destroyed. It is also easily cut down by AT units and Zeus. To prevent these, it is advised to use Apollo's Diffraction Shield.
