Octo is a basic Grekim unit. It is primarily used as a melee shock trooper, and as such cannot attack air. It can also progenerate other units, and can morph into a Resource Processor or Dome.
Because of the high ground dps and switch transition into RPs and domes, octos built in excess can easily be converted into offensive, defensive or economical efforts.
Being the only melee unit octos take losses when closing in on other units. However once in contact the octos have the upper hand, especially against splash damagers as part of the splash transfers to the adjacent victim of the octo. This can make it tricky to evaluate whether to go for or to run away from an engagement. Octos take a similar penalty when detaching from the enemy so a lot of octo heavy battles can be pretty much all-ins.
Due to their wide footprint and melee attack range, against CESO players they are vulnerable to Simbasing, the practice of arranging buildings to produce narrow gaps that Octos cannot fit through.
