Cryon

The Cryon is a unique support ship equipped with a Kelvin Freeze Cannon. This weapon does no damage to the creeper, however it is capable of temporarily freezing any incoming creeper in an area of impact. The ship also comes equipped with an Excavation Lathe, which can supplement the work of Diggers.

Unit Usage

The Kelvin Freeze Cannon's temporary freeze works similarly to a shield, stopping creeper entirely in its tracks for a brief moment. The Cryon is very helpful at stopping the creeper's advance, especially if no anticreeper is present. The effectiveness of the Kelvin Freeze Cannon is especially enhanced when the Cryon has only a small opening to shoot into, being able to permanently freeze a small area of creeper in such scenario, without needing to worry about shields taking damage from being in contact with creeper.

If the freezing capability is not needed, the Cryon is a useful supplement to the Digger and can be used to perform remote digging operations.

Help Tab transcript

The Cryon is a multi-purpose ship that carries both an Excavation Lathe and the Kelvin Freeze Cannon. The Kelvin Freeze Cannon fires a projectile that temporarily freezes the creeper in place. This can be useful for increasing the effectiveness of other nearby weapons.
