Arachnos Flier
Contents
Overview
The Arachnos Flier is a Giant Monster in Grandville.
Description
The Arachnos Flyers are used primarily for troop deployment. If you see one, run.
Information
Arachnos frequently sends aerial patrols down into the Gutter to curb any hostile activities and to provide valuable combat experience for its troops. Every 2-4 hours (real time) and during dusk (game time), a large transport emerges from the hangar atop the Watchtower and slowly descends to the lowest levels of Grandville. During transit to its drop zones, the transport will have an incredibly powerful shield active, protecting it from all attacks. When it reaches its drop zones, the transport will lower its shields to engage its attacks. Also, 7-12 Bane Spiders will teleport from the ship down to the ground. These troops attack any unallied targets in the area, which typically end up being Arachnoids or player villains. If there is nothing about, the Bane Spiders stand guard for a short while. Pay very special attention to both the squads and the flier; troops occasionally radio for backup.

Notes
According to a dev post [1], the flier is currently bugged so that it only spawns once per zone instance. After that, it will not respawn until/unless the zone is reset. The devs are currently workign to get the bug fixed.
