[edit] Overview

The Strider is a large Bane mechanical unit piloted by a Thrax soldier. Striders are among the most dangerous enemies found on the battlefield and should be engaged with great caution. If you should choose to attack, it is highly advisable that you take the Strider down as fast as possible due to its special beam attack.

[edit] Attack Pattern

A Strider's main weapon is a short laser blast from the mounted turret. This weapon is the least of a soldier's worries but can be quite painful nonetheless.

The Strider will also attempt to close in on its target in order to utilize a close ranged attack. It will lift its front legs and slam the ground with an electric field which will both damage and knock back nearby foes.

Third, the Strider will, with relative frequency, charge up a green plasma ball at its "eye". This attack takes a number of seconds to charge, and you may have time to find cover or prepare for the blow. It will deal a heavy virulent DOT but should be relatively manageable. (The strider's green bolt attack used to be physical, and was changed in Deployment 8)

Finally, if the Strider hasn't been taken out within a certain timeframe, it will eventually unleash a heavy, sustained laser barrage which will deal fire damage. There is little time to prepare for this attack. The energy will only coalesce around the main cannon for a second or two. If hit by this attack by a Strider at or above your level, death is a likely result, even with Graviton Armor. It deals a massive DOT that will drain your health and armor in seconds.
