Vyper

"Vyper, ready to sting."

The Vyper's main weapons are its speed and maneuverability. Able to skim over cover without slowing down, the Vyper is able to cross the map quickly, and to take advantage of blocking terrain to maximize firepower. Vypers can easily withstand light fire, though moderately heavy fire will bring them down in short order. Their Missile Launchers have the capability of disrupting troops and destroying buildings, while their Shuriken Catapults serve to cut down infantry in the Vyper's path.

Tactics

Vypers are utilized best in hit and run roles, away from enemy fire. With their jump capabilities and Missile Launchers, Vypers in pairs or triplets can destroy Listening Posts or Plasma Generators in short order as well as cause significant damage to headquarters buildings. They are also invaluable in a support role against tightly packed infantry due to the disruptive nature of their Missile Launchers, which effectively makes them the Eldar's version of an artillery platform in scenarios where other races would possibly rely upon a Basilisk, Exorcist, or Whirlwind.
