The [[Cybran]]s are a faction that use fast hitting units that usually have a high firing rate. Cybran units often favor [[stealth]] and speed rather than raw power. This goes perfectly with their weapons and units. Their T3 air units have stealth, with the exception of their [[Cybran T3 Heavy Gunship|T3 Gunship]]. The [[Cybran T3 Air Superiority Fighter]] has the highest accuracy (and subsequently, the most consistent [[DPS]]); since their [[Nanite Missile System]] can't miss, unlike the UEF Ginsu pulse beam and the Aeon Displacement cannon. The [[Revenant]] also supports the Cybran strategy. Their bombs do less damages than the other [[Strategic bomber]]s but the [[damage radius]] can hit more units and is more accurate. This also applies to the [[Wailer]]. Although it lacks [[stealth]], it has [[Radar jamming]] which can confuse the opponent about its position. The [[Wailer]] also has a decent [[Nanite Missile System]] that allows it to destroy anything up to an interceptor. Cybrans are also considered to have the best Air force with the [[Soul Ripper]] and the [[Gemini]]. The [[Soul Ripper]] is a great unit; a heavily armored [[experimental]] with heavy air-to-ground weaponry and reasonable [[anti-air]].

Their Land units are also very fast and very accurate. [[Loyalist]]s have a [[Disintegrator Pulse Laser]] to destroy heavy units and [[Heavy Electron Bolters]] to destroy the fast moving ones. Also, their missile Deflection is very useful to counter [[TML]]. The [[Brick]] is the unit that opposes the conventional Cybran strategy.

It is almost vital to have at least 10 in every attack squadron for this purpose. The [[Monkeylord]] is a unit optimized for storming enemy bases. Although one of the lightest land-based [[experimental]]s, it is also one of the cheapest. Its [[Heavy Microwave Laser]] is devastating and it packs basic [[anti-air]]. It can be even more effective as a stealth weapon, being both [[amphibious]] and possessing a [[stealth]] field. On the other end of the scale, the [[Megalith]] is very expensive but ridiculously tough and destructive.

Cybran navy is considered the weakest of all 4 factions. The [[Galaxy Class]] is a good [[battleship]] with [[AA]]. Also the [[Nanite Torpedo]] can defeat a large group of [[submarine]]s.

A [[Megalith]] can even defeat an [[Atlantis]]. Also it can defeat most units while it is close. The [[Barracuda]] submarine killer is another effective unit. A [[Megalith]] accompanied with a [[Galaxy]] and a [[Barracuda]] will ensure you a useful fleet. The Cybrans also possess the unique [[Salem Class]] [[destroyer]], capable of leaving the water to assault land units, although it moves very slowly on land and is quite vulnerable.

The Cybrans are a faction that use fast hitting units that usually have a high firing rate. Cybran units often favor stealth and speed rather than raw power. This goes perfectly with their weapons and units. Their T3 air units have stealth, with the exception of their T3 Gunship. The Cybran T3 Air Superiority Fighter has the highest accuracy (and subsequently, the most consistent DPS); since their Nanite Missile System can't miss, unlike the UEF Ginsu Pulse Beam and the Aeon Displacement Cannon. The Revenant also supports the Cybran strategy. Their bombs do less damages than the other T3 strategic bombers but the damage radius can hit more units and is more accurate. This also applies to the Wailer. Although it lacks stealth, it has Radar jamming which can confuse the opponent about its position. The Wailer also has a decent Nanite Missile System that allows it to destroy anything up to an interceptor. Cybrans are also considered to have the best Air force with the Soul Ripper and the Gemini. The Soul Ripper is a great unit; a heavily armored experimental with heavy air-to-ground weaponry and reasonable anti-air.

Their Land units are also very fast and very accurate. Loyalists have a Disintegrator Pulse Laser to destroy heavy units and Heavy Electron Bolters to destroy the fast moving ones. Also, their missile Deflection is very useful to counter TML. The Brick is the unit that opposes the conventional Cybran strategy. It doesn't rely on stealth, instead relying on raw power. Another unit worth mentioning is the Cybran T2 Rocket Bot. It is a fast hitting bot with the ability to engage Gunships. It is almost vital to have at least 10 in every attack squadron for this purpose. The Monkeylord is a unit optimized for storming enemy bases. Although one of the lightest land-based experimentals, it is also one of the cheapest. Its Heavy Microwave Laser is devastating and it packs basic anti-air. It can be even more effective as a stealth weapon, being both amphibious and possessing a stealth field. On the other end of the scale, the Megalith is very expensive but ridiculously tough and destructive.

Cybran navy is considered the weakest of all 4 factions. The Galaxy Class is a good battleship with AA. Also the Nanite Torpedo can defeat a large group of submarines. But the most effective and most expensive of all sea units is the Megalith. Although it can be pelted by the other battleships, the Megalith can defeat them once he gets near. A Megalith can even defeat an Atlantis. Also it can defeat most units while it is close. The Barracuda submarine killer is another effective unit. A Megalith accompanied with a Galaxy and a Barracuda will ensure you a useful fleet. The Cybrans also possess the unique Salem Class destroyer, capable of leaving the water to assault land units, although it moves very slowly on land and is quite vulnerable.
