Black Hand (Tiberium Wars)

Before the Third Tiberium War, the might of the Black Hand legions increased dramatically. They are extremely loyal, chosen brethren of Nod, whose excellent training and inhuman stamina allow them to decimate enemy infantry, burn down buildings and clear garrisons. They are usually deployed in squads of six.

They wear full powered armor with fireproof cloaks to mask their thermal signatures and helmets with three horizontal visors. This equipment allows them to use their advanced flamethrowers effectively without harming their health, and is part of the source for their outstanding durability in the field.

Effective weapons against them include most all anti-infantry weapons although their heavy armor allows them to survive at least a few head-on enemy attacks. Their flamethrowers are good against infantry and structures, but do little damage against even light vehicles, so the best method of countering them is to use any vehicle with anti-infantry capacity.
