Myth Unit[]
- Scarab: Slow but powerful giant beetles that act like organic siege weapons.
Strategy[]
Sekhmet should only be selected if the player is forced into a defensive position and may be fighting close to their town center. Her buildings, especially the town center, are made stronger. They also enable Human Units (but not Heroes or Myth Units) to regenerate more HP if Fortified Defense is researched, but that is very situational. Sekhmet also strengthens Siege Units, especially the Scarabs she provides. They are more durable than the Catapult but lack a ranged attack, meaning they are forced to close in onto a building to be effective. They are also very slow, which makes them dangerously vulnerable to counterattacks before they can even reach an enemy building. Siege units are typically strong enough without her researches and bonuses as well, so they do not contribute as much as those of other gods. Nonetheless, Sekhmet grants players a chance to hit hard if they manage to recover from an enemy attack.
