“For the heavier targets we launch the Nimbus. Their small payload of high intensity bombs pummel fortification and decimate armies.”
Barca[1]

The Nimbus is a Beta air unit.

The larger, slower moving cousin to the Warbird. The Nimbus carries a small payload of extremely high-damage bombs.

Background[]

Like the Avalanche, the Nimbus requires more than one Beta to successfully operate - one to pilot and one to control the weapons system. Specialized canisters were created to serve as the payload. Instead of being fired from a barrel, the canisters are dropped. Forgoing guidance systems means more explosive power. On impact they detonate, causing extreme devastation to enemies nearby. Some canisters contain additional chemicals that mix and burn over a long duration, effectively working like napalm.

Overview[]

The Nimbus is an efficient bomber. It can deliver powerful canisters capable of demolishing enemy fortifications or concentrated enemy troops. It is one of the few Beta units that require two Beta working simultaneously in order to function, training together for years in order to become an effective pair.

Tips[]

  • The Nimbus reloads with two bombs for each run. An efficient player can strategically target two individual targets on a run.
  • The incendiary catalyst bomb upgrade makes the Nimbus more effective against units while decreasing its usefulness against structures.
  • Each Nimbus requires a substantial resource investment, so be sure to be cautious with them when attacking.
