Abilities

Overclock

Overclocking the Peacemaker’s power unit increases its movement speed and rate of fire. Warning: every other Peacemaker explodes.

Who is the Peacemaker?

The Peacemaker is the main and most frequently used unit in the game. It works well in mixed compositions.

The Peacemaker is effective at every stage, moves quickly, and attacks ground and air targets. Its low cost lets you assemble large squads quickly, while upgrades keep them strong in the late game.

Peacemaker strengths

Can attack both ground and air targets.
Effective against almost every army type with proper control.
Has many upgrades.
Strong at every stage of the game.
The cheapest combat unit in the game.
Immune to the Wave's freeze.

Peacemaker weaknesses

The Peacemaker has the lowest health among combat units.

Relies heavily on the Shield research in the Laboratory, which adds 52 health to the Peacemaker.

Peacemaker strategies

Below are three main Peacemaker-based early-game strategies.

Strategy 1. Building an early Barracks near the enemy base

Note: this requires precise control of the Peacemaker.

Produce two Workers, but send the first one to the opponent’s base.
As soon as the Worker reaches the opponent’s base, build a Barracks.
When you have 10 ore, use the second Worker to build a Reactor at your base.
Produce a Peacemaker and try to damage the opponent’s economy as much as possible.

Strategy 2. Early Peacemaker attack

Produce two Workers. As soon as you have 12 ore, build a Barracks.
While the Barracks is under construction, save another 10 ore and use the second Worker to build a Reactor.
Once the Barracks is complete, produce one or two Peacemakers and send them to the opponent’s base.

Strategy 3. Surprise attack with a large group of Peacemakers

Note: this mostly works at low ranks, below 1800 MMR.

Produce two Workers, but send the first one toward the opponent’s base.
As soon as the Worker reaches the opponent’s base and stops in front of it, build a Barracks.
Meanwhile, once you have 10 ore, build a Reactor at your base.
Once the Barracks is complete, produce three to six Peacemakers and attack. Build a second Reactor if needed.

Peacemaker chevrons: what they are and how they work

Chevrons are curved stripes shown above the unit. They have three levels:

+10% health and damage
+20% health and damage
+30% health and damage + regeneration

To earn one chevron, the Peacemaker must deal a certain amount of damage to enemy units.

Upgrades in the Barracks and Laboratory

Each upgrade level adds another 10% of base health or damage to infantry. The cost rises in sequence: 10 → 20 → 30 ore.

Armor I

Armor II

Armor III

+10%, +20%, +30% to infantry health.

Attack I

Attack II

Attack III

+10%, +20%, +30% to the base damage of infantry units.

Two Laboratory upgrades are also available for the Peacemaker:

Overclock

Every other Peacemaker explodes, while all survivors receive the following changes:
+1 movement speed (3 → 4).
+100% rate of fire (interval 1 → 0.5 seconds).
−20% base health before the Shield bonus.
+0.1 unit size (0.4 → 0.5).

Shield

The Peacemaker gains 52 additional health.

Peacemakers + Lynxes

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.

Peacemakers + Titans + Devastators + Waves

This composition works well in the early game and on small maps. Keep its units in balanced proportions, for example: 4 Peacemakers, 2 Devastators, 1 Titan, and 1 Wave.

The main counter is an army of Peacemakers.

Peacemakers and only Peacemakers

This composition works best at lower ranks and requires good control. Be sure to research Shield in the Laboratory. At higher ranks, the tactic can work if the opponent does not expect a large number of Peacemakers and you have at least three Barracks.

The main counter is mass Lynx production backed by good control.

Peacemaker FAQ

What makes the Peacemaker strong?

It attacks both ground and air targets, stays effective at every stage of the game, is immune to the Wave's freeze and remains the cheapest combat unit in the game.

What counters the Peacemaker?

The Lynx and the Tank in N.A.T.A.S.H.A. mode: their area attacks are especially dangerous to a group of low-health Peacemakers.

What bonuses do chevrons provide to the Peacemaker?

Each chevron increases the Peacemaker’s base health and damage by 10%; at three chevrons, it also gains regeneration.

Which Laboratory upgrades does the Peacemaker need?

Shield adds 52 health and is nearly essential, while Overclock destroys every other Peacemaker but makes the survivors move faster and fire twice as often.
