Hybrid Buzzbomb

This lightweight kamikaze unit, consisting of a metal body and two insectoid wings, often accompanies Hybrid squads along with other specialty units like the Hybrid Cybernetic and Hybrid Artillery. Its behaviour is quite simple -- one it sees a UEN unit, it goes into attack and flies towards the nearest unit very quickly. Once it gets within a short radius of its target, it activates a short countdown or 'fuse', after whose fixed time the Buzzbomb will explode, damaging and knocking back anyone caught in the blast. However, if the unit is killed at any point during this process, it will not detonate. Also, due to the nature of the countdown and General Dem's fast hopping ability, it is actually possible to dodge the blast.

Its exact health is uncertain [93-105], in that it is borderline impossible to confront this enemy in a controlled environment. It can be killed in little more than a single shot from a EAMER, but has a small hitbox, so accurate weapons like the Photon Rifle are of decided use. The Nano Blade is a poor choice for obvious reasons.

A good strategy is to put up one's Shield right before detonation, and take it down afterwards -- that will reduce damage taken by fully one-half.
