Heroic (Tiberium)

Heroic is the highest level of unit veterancyattainable. These legendary soldiers and vehicle crews can deal out far more damage as usual, and their formidible defense is bolstered further. In addition, heroic soldiers can patch their wounds in the field (though they cannot replace lost squadmates), and heroic pilots are experts in repairing their vehicles.

Interestingly, perhaps to intimidate their opponents, heroic units modify their weaponry. For example, many infantry squads replace their typical ammunition with bright red tracer rounds; doing more damage, but also identifying them as priority targets. Nod lasers are modified to fire a more intense blue beam, and GDI railguns fire special, high-impact slugs that leave a red trail in their wake.
