Continuing our Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Beginner's Guide series, we are taking a look at the Soviet KDB-5 Sickle: Sickles are early-game harassment units and anti-infantry vehicles. Their 3 guns allow them to target multiple targets when surrounded, which amplifies their overall DPS. Sickle's special ability "Flea Jump" lets it can jump onto a swarm of enemy infantries, damaging them and knocking them back. Sickles often hop into walled refineries to harass harvesters as well.

For strategy, Sickle can combo with the Toxic Corrosion support power to decimate a massive infantry army by jumping at it. The Terror Drone Surprise upgrade also works well with Sickles, as they like to get up close to enemies.

Stay tuned as we go through the basic information, functions, unit interactions, and tips & tricks for each individual unit in RA3 and discuss the tactics / strategies you can pull off with them.
