Strategy[]
The zeppelin is functionally almost identical to Battle Mechas. Both are mobile, indestructible artillery with a significantly higher rate of fire and DPS that even rivals that of even single target towers. Both even happen to have an AOE slow effect which improves their crowd control abilities. The rally point and attack ranges give it a long effective range, making it an excellent choice for strategic points located far (but not too far) from your choke points. Goblin Scout can provide a significant boost to tower's range, but only applies to towers very close to the zeppelin, so it must be positioned carefully to maximize the impact. Sappers cannot be engaged in melee combat, so unless many ranged enemies are nearby, it's not a bad investment.

Trivia[]
- The Paratrooper that drops onto the field of play is a Goblin Zapper, first seen in the Kingdom Rush level Ruins of Acaroth. However, updates of the first game have changed the enemy name to Goblin Sapper. It remains to be seen if this was an error, or if the Zapper in this instance is the mistake.
