Scout

Scouts are generally considered to be the most useful unit available at the Academy of Officers, where they can be produced for 250 steel, 250 ammunition, and 250 recruits, as the armor ignore effect is quite powerful against heavily armored enemies. Like other officer units, they're also decent fighters on their own, but you don't want to be carrying them in the front lines.

Unit training
The following table lists the upgrades available to scouts from the Academy of Officers. Scouts, like other officers, use the same equipment as regular troops.

1The level 13 armor upgrade costs 8000 of each resource instead.

Unit research
This table summarizes all of the research that can benefit Scouts. For full details, see the specific research pages.

Unit skins
Scouts have five skins available, as listed in the following table. Some skins can be purchased with gold at the Academy, while others can currently be obtained only through special events. For the skins which are not purchasable with gold, the "duplicate value" is the amount of gold returned if you obtain a second copy of the skin. (For skins purchasable with gold, the duplicate value is simply equal to the purchase price.)
