Alpha Burrower is one of the Alpha Vek from Into The Breach.

Description[ | ]

Alpha Burrowers move underground to arrive at their destination and bypass any obstacles, much like a Leaper minus the jumping. When emerging they attack a 3-tile wide area in front of them perpendicular to where they are facing. Upon taking any damage, they will cancel their attack and retreat underground, re-emerging elsewhere (within 4 tiles of where they retreated from) on their next turn. Alpha Burrowers can not end their move on top of Ice Tiles.

Alpha Burrowers are Stable and thus cannot be pushed or moved with physical force, however they can still be relocated by the Control Mech's Control Shot weapon.

As rare enemies, Alpha Burrowers cannot appear on the first island and are limited to two spawns per mission.

Strategy[ | ]

Use the same strategy as for fighting Burrowers, though Alpha Burrowers having 5HP does make them a lot sturdier. Try to bump other enemies into them if you cannot take them down with one strong hit, as they will still retreat from any kind of damage, and block enemy spawns to prevent being overwhelmed the next turn by the Alpha Burrower emerging back.
