Additional Facts

  • Introduced in Operation: Halcyon.
  • The Halcyon is the third Unit overall and the first Air Unit that can fire on targets while moving.  The other two Units to have this ability are the Flame Assault Vehicle and the Elite Humvee.
  • At Level 6 the Halcyon optains a speed of 2.5.  This allows it to overtake all Vehicles, except the Suicide Truck Elite and the FAV which it matches in speed. 
  • The Halcyon's speed of 2.5 makes it the 3rd fastest Air Unit ( non-strafing ) behind the L7+ Reaper Drone at 3.0 and L10+ Copter Drone at 2.6.  However, the Halcyon has the ability to fire while on the move which makes it excel at hunting ground targets that are running away. 
  • Combined with a slightly higher speed of 2.6 and the ability to fire upon Air Units makes the Valkyrie andElite Valkyrie ( both Level 6 and up ) a very substantial threat to the Halcyon.
  • The Halcyon at max level outranges Machine Gun Turrets
