Players using the Cerberus gain particular advantages as their health decreases. When the health of the Cerberus reaches 10%, they will:
- Gain a 50% power boost;
- Gain +5 armour boost.
The unique bonuses of Cerberus units allows them to serve as effective shock troops in frontline battles, their high resistance stats pairs well with gunners.
When combating other houses, Cerberus units are effective against Sardaukars and their execution ability as the more damage Cerberus troops take the more damage they dish out and splitting into three apon being "executed" by Sardaukars, giving Corrino players even more issues.
