The Zthuee combines the best elements of the Aeon Fervor and the UEF Lobo, causing some players to nickname it the "Fobo". It possesses the Lobo's fragmentation shell effect as well as the Fervor's high DPS, much higher than the Lobo or the Cybran Medusa. These traits, combined with the fact that it is one of the few T1 hover units, make it arguably the most powerful T1 artillery piece and one of the Seraphim's best early weapons. However, it is vulnerable to Aeon Auroras and any Frigate when on water. In addition, it is a more expensive unit.
