Stormboy Nob Leader

"'Ere we go..."

Tactics

The Stormboy Nob Leader is the only Nob with the ability to jump. Once More Choppy has been researched, the Stormboy Nob Leader is equipped with a Power Claw. While this power claw is not as good as the standard Nobz Squad Power Claw, it does deal more damage to weaker buildings such as Plasma Generators and Listening Posts. This makes the Stormboy Nob Leader rather effective for harassing the enemy's economy.

Note that the Stormboy Nob Leader lacks the Turbo Ability. However, as long as there is at least one Stormboy in the squad with the Stormboy Nob Leader, the ability can be activated and affects the entire squad.
