The Rhino is a fast, durable melee unit that charges into enemy units in order to deal devastating damage with its dual sawblade arms. The Rhino's attacks are powerful and have a reasonably high attack speed, making it effective at destroying small groups of units (e.g. [[Sledgehammer|Sledgehammers]], [[Steel Ball|Steel Balls]]), as well as single targets (e.g. [[Vulcan|Vulcans]]). The Rhino's attacks also have a small area of effect that make it decent at killing high unit-count squads such as [[Fang|Fangs]], although its AoE doesn't cover a wide enough area to clear a unit of chaff in only a few swings. The Rhino is also fast enough to outrun unguided rockets from the [[Stormcaller]] and the [[Overlord]], limiting the damage it takes from those units, and its speed and damage make it an effective unit to place on enemy flanks. It is relatively difficult to effectively counter a Rhino with a single unit - it can trade with most enemy units reasonably well, while air units will need to constantly move to catch up with it as it sprints past them. A [[Melting Point]] can effectively kill a Rhino, but they are an expensive answer at 400 supply. Rhinos also have good synergy with [[Crawler|Crawlers]] - they share similar speed and range, and Crawlers can absorb the high-damage attacks that would normally threaten a Rhino. | |||
As powerful as they are, Rhinos have a number of key weaknesses. Rhinos can't attack air units and require support from the player's other units to remove. Their other main weakness is their short range. The Rhino needs to charge headlong into enemy fire in order to begin attacking, which becomes harder to do the longer a game lasts - if your Rhinos need to sustain fire from 5 or 6 enemy units, it becomes far less likely that they'll make it into melee range and deal damage. | |||

Summary
The Rhino is a fast, durable melee unit that charges into enemy units in order to deal devastating damage with its dual sawblade arms. The Rhino's attacks are powerful and have a reasonably high attack speed, making it effective at destroying small groups of units (e.g. Sledgehammers, Steel Balls), as well as single targets (e.g. Vulcans). The Rhino's attacks also have a small area of effect that make it decent at killing high unit-count squads such as Fangs, although its AoE doesn't cover a wide enough area to clear a unit of chaff in only a few swings. The Rhino is also fast enough to outrun unguided rockets from the Stormcaller and the Overlord, limiting the damage it takes from those units, and its speed and damage make it an effective unit to place on enemy flanks. It is relatively difficult to effectively counter a Rhino with a single unit - it can trade with most enemy units reasonably well, while air units will need to constantly move to catch up with it as it sprints past them. A Melting Point can effectively kill a Rhino, but they are an expensive answer at 400 supply. Rhinos also have good synergy with Crawlers - they share similar speed and range, and Crawlers can absorb the high-damage attacks that would normally threaten a Rhino.
As powerful as they are, Rhinos have a number of key weaknesses. Rhinos can't attack air units and require support from the player's other units to remove. Their other main weakness is their short range. The Rhino needs to charge headlong into enemy fire in order to begin attacking, which becomes harder to do the longer a game lasts - if your Rhinos need to sustain fire from 5 or 6 enemy units, it becomes far less likely that they'll make it into melee range and deal damage.
