Bonuses
+100% damage against Peacemakers
The Lynx is the fastest ground combat vehicle in the game. It is built for rapid attacks, scouting, and raids on the enemy economy. Its high speed lets it move quickly between bases, find undefended areas, and reach Workers.
Area damage and a +100% damage bonus against Peacemakers make the Lynx especially dangerous against groups of light infantry. A large Lynx group gains an advantage against small armies, while damaged vehicles can retreat to Workers for repairs.
The Lynx attacks only ground targets and performs very poorly against Tanks, Titans, and Devastators. With the same attack range of 5, the Peacemaker still starts firing from farther away because the units have different sizes, so the Lynx must move closer to return fire.
Below are three Lynx-based early-game strategies.
Note: this strategy is mainly effective at ratings below 1800 or in 2v2 matches.
Produce two Workers to improve ore harvesting.
As soon as you have 10 ore, build a Reactor.
At 12 ore, begin building a Barracks. While it is under construction, produce three more Workers as ore becomes available.
Once the Barracks is complete, immediately build two Factories. Try to hide the second Factory away from the main base so the opponent does not discover your plan at once.
Send one Lynx to scout.
After scouting, build up your army and attack. Pull damaged Lynxes back and repair them with a Worker.Note: this strategy is effective only on maps where the starting positions are far apart.
Produce two Workers, but send the second one to the opponent’s base. Use this opening only when you already know its location.
When you have 12 ore, build a Barracks at your base.
As soon as the Barracks is complete, build a Factory at the opponent’s base.
Build a Reactor at your base.
As soon as the Worker completes the Factory, produce a Lynx.
Produce two Workers to improve ore harvesting.As soon as you have 12 ore, build a Barracks.
Build a Reactor while the Barracks is under construction.
Build a Factory as soon as the Barracks is complete.
Produce two more Workers while the Factory is under construction. Once it is complete, produce one Lynx and start building an additional Reactor.
Send the newly produced Lynx to scout and build a Gate at the same time.
Once the Reactor is complete, produce two to four Lynxes to attack the opponent’s economy. Build a third Reactor while producing the army.
Attack the opponent’s base when all the Lynxes are ready.Chevrons are curved stripes shown above the unit. They have three levels:
To earn one chevron, the Lynx must deal a certain amount of damage to enemy units.
Each upgrade adds 10% of base damage or health to Factory units. The cost rises in sequence: 10, 20, and 30 ore.

This composition combines Peacemakers and Lynxes at a ratio of roughly two Peacemakers per Lynx.
This tactic is effective on large maps with rich ore deposits. You must research and activate Overclock on the Peacemakers, and also research Shield.
The main counter to this composition is mass Lynx production.
The composition includes Lynxes, Thunders, and Hawks. Adjust the number of Lynxes to the enemy Peacemaker count, use Thunders against heavy ground forces, and Hawks against aircraft. The composition works best on large maps.
The main counter to this army is a composition of Titans, Peacemakers with Shield, Waves, and Devastators.
