## 15. Automatons

### 🤖 **The Lowdown on Automatons**

Alright, gamers, let’s dive into the world of Automatons. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Ugh, not another mediocre unit,” hear me out. These little mechanical wonders might be sitting at the bottom of the tier list, but they’ve got some tricks up their sleeves—if you know how to use them.

### 💰 **Cost-Effective Chaos**

First off, let’s talk about the price tag. At just **6 favor** and **90 gold**, Automatons are like that budget-friendly game on Steam that you didn’t expect to love. They take a mere **12 seconds** to build, which means you can churn them out faster than you can say “microtransactions.” If you manage to win a fight with these bad boys, you can just rebuild them like it’s no big deal. Talk about value!

### ⚔️ **The Comeback Kids**

Here’s where it gets spicy: if you win a skirmish, you can heal up your fallen Automatons and send them back into the fray. It’s like having a second chance at life, but without the annoying respawn timer. Just imagine your enemies sweating bullets as they see your army of Automatons rising from the ashes like some kind of robotic phoenix. 

### ⏳ **The Waiting Game**

But hold your horses! There’s a catch. While they’re cheap and can be mass-produced, they take a bit too long to build. You might find yourself twiddling your thumbs while waiting for your next wave of metal minions. And let’s be real, they don’t exactly pack the punch of some of the other units out there. It’s like bringing a knife to a gunfight—sure, you can still stab someone, but it’s not going to end well.

### 🔄 **Buffs and Meta Shifts**

Now, with the recent buffs to the Atlantic faction, there’s a glimmer of hope for our Automaton friends. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll find their place in the meta. But until then, they’re kind of like that one friend who always shows up to game night but never really contributes. You love them, but you’re not counting on them to carry the team.

### 🎮 **Final Thoughts**

So, are Automatons the worst? Maybe. But they’re not completely useless either.
