Harvester inconsistency? (sh.itjust.works)

Has anyone else had issue with nigh invincible harvesters marauding through all manner of bombardment? Shield down, I've seen them take every orbital and eagle without being destroyed. Not all at once, mind, but I have seen them take more than a factory strider and walk it off without even losing a shield antennae.

I've bullseyed one with a RR rocket and a full commando and they kept coming.

Any tips? I know the legs are a weakpoint but I don't seem to be hitting the right places. Laser cannon is the only reliable weapon I've found but requires multiple cooldown periods to fully cook one which is just too much time.

The eye is a weak point, even small arms damage and slightly stagger it with a hit.

I’ve found the gargling barage effective because it wobbles and can’t move or attack.

That gives you time to land something else against it.

gargling barage

Best autocowrecked this week.

I take gatling a lot for the cooldown and utility it provides, amd it is great at staggering them.

It’s not my worst typo… but I won’t change it

I’ve been taking low cooldown strats and it’s been fun. I’m throwing 30-70 stratagems per round lately, but it definitely helps to keep the chaf in line against the Illuminate.
