Commando

*"Commando is a specialist in clone combat! He is a perfect assassin. As he both deals a great damage and is able to jump higher than the other units."*

Commando is one of your second common clones you will get along with private in the game early on. He is one of the most fastest clones in the game (Except against jeep), he is also one of the clones who can jump the highest in the game. Commandos hold two deadly knifes that can hide into your enemies bodies and cut them apart in matter of seconds. Commandos may not deal as much damage as a private, but their incredible movement and attack speed can easily rush clones before they could do any harm to them. Commandos have more health than privates, so they can at least last longer when dealing with multiple enemies. He cost 25 blue coins and is indeed a very handy clone in the early rounds of multiplayer and challenges, being able to overcome the cheap but powerful clones early on like grenadier, marksman, ranger etc. When upgraded, it's cost and attack speed does not increase.

# Each Level Stats

Every units have 5% stat increase per level.

# Strategies

-In Multiplayer, as similar to private, commando is a clone used in the early rounds to save coins too when playing as a defender. Instead, commando can be used to help kill off cheap clones early on in the game much faster compared to private, they are also much active and faster so they can get to parts quick before the opponent could caused heavy destruction towards your base. It is best to go 2 rounds of it, as your attacker will start going much better clones that can counter the cheap but weak rush attacks.

-In Singleplayer, commandos can be used in several levels to help gain blue coins much more easier or solo the entire stage without problem if you are skillful enough with it.

-In Challenges, commandos are used commonly in challenges such as Hideout, Twins, Last Stand and Exterminator. When in Hideout, Twins and Exterminator, focus on using commando to lower the health around cloning machines and the bosses, but be sure to pay attention to the clones supporting them, commandos aren't good at dealing with crowds of clones, especially if they are not stack in groups.

# Counters

Commandos can be really tough enemies in the game, especially around Singleplayer and Challenges as most new players may struggle against it. When in their detection range, they will start chasing you till you are dead. There are a few ways to counter it.

-When using your own private, get in range of the commando and shoot one bullet then quickly backing off. Once doing so, quickly find a position and stand still while shooting all your shots to the commando. This can be very helpful especially if your private is low in level.

-Use your own commando and when in range of the commando, attack with your knifes while running in the opposite direction away from it, but don't get yourself too close to it yourself or you be taking heavy damage.

-Clones such as ranger, marksman, rookie and more expensive clones have enough damage to finish them off before they could get close.

-Try getting on top of a tall platform as quick as you can, you can escape from their detection range so they won't be able to chase you if you are too far or too high from them.

# Trivia

-Commandos were called Swordsman in the first version of Clone Armies, but was renamed after a much more improved version of it along with the Hero mechanic.

-There are some commandos that are spawned from a cloning machine (AI) might not focus on targeting you, you can tell it from the speed of the commandos. If a commando is moving really quick, it shows that it is targeting and chasing you. If a commando is moving slower than usual, it is a commando targeting your cloning machine. This can be seen around Level 20 (The Crash) in Singleplayer and Last Stand and Invasion in Challenges.
