Strategy[]
Defilers are a daemon-possessed, four-legged walker vehicle featuring anti-infantry weaponry, a strong melee attack and an (inaccurate) battle cannon that will disrupt/demoralize infantry. It can also deal decent damage to vehicles and buildings - a "Jack of all trades" type unit that can be effective against all unit types but unlike the Dreadnought, the weapons cannot be upgraded. It's best to keep your distance and take it out with lascannon vehicles - a missile squad will do, but may get knocked around a bit before succeeding.
