A Cynestra
Cynestra is a Green-red unit. It's a high powered, breach vulnerable 
attacker.
Panel
Strategy
Cynestra is one of the most cost-efficient attacking units in the game, being more gold efficient per point of damage even compared to the humble Tarsier. The single 
cost of Cynestra also means that it can be built alongside a Rhino from a single Animus, allowing players a bit of extra defense while improving their offensive power immensely. However, Cynestra also requires a significant investment of 
in order to build, meaning that being able to construct one per-turn is a difficult proposition. Cynestra, therefore, tends to be best via building a single Conduit, saving until one has , then building Cynestra at that point, instead constructing Tarsiers from the spare in the off turns. alternatively, players can build 3 Conduits, dropping a Cynestra each turn, then transitioning into another and/or unit, should one exist. The 3 Conduit strategy tends to be less advised if there aren't many other units in the pool, as Cynestras only have 4 supply, meaning using up the surplus of green with anything other than Gauss Cannons tends to become difficult.
Due to it's high cost-efficiency, Cynestra tends to be difficult to counter, especially when the opposing player's play position is black, allowing them to get a natural early Conduit. If one suspects their opponent is going to use Cynestra, attempting to create a large amount of pressure to attempt to get the opposing player to use their on Forcefields is advised, as is having a Blastforge for Walls or other defenders. More efficient defenders in the set, such as Doomed Mech and Energy Matrix makes defending against Cynestra more effective.
While Cynestra's low 
health makes it fairly vulnerable in the event of a breach, it is less so compared to other -based units such as Tarsiers and Shadowfangs. While going entirely without defenders is discouraged, transitioning into breach-resistant units such as Gauss Cannons may still be an option, especially with multiple Conduits.
