This is a sub-topic to "New Race Ideas". I'll make the energy race here and link it there.
Link to main topic:

IMPORTANT

Please post your comments in "New Race Ideas" and not here! Thanks!

NOTE

- "Sapien Equivalent X" does not mean it always shares the role of that unit, just that it takes the place of that unit. For example, if something says "Sapien Equivalent Tank" It could be a 0 defense ranged glass cannon

- There will not be images for some units because it is hard to find images that match what I imagine and I don't have enough time to make my own art. All images are from Google Images

- Some images I use represent the PROJECTILES. The units would not actually appear as a glowing sphere (except, in a sense, the star cell). Remember to read the description of the image

-Blitzer

A fast, neon orange humanoid made of pure, fire-like energy. It uses energy balls to attack.

Tactics Explanation

We're used to 100 cost infantry units acting as basic melee shields. Blitzers break that pattern with a whopping 2-3 hex range (equivalent to Borfly), balanced with abysmal attack and defense stats. Having an infantry unit with these mechanics makes the Energy Race susceptible to early aggression from the other races. This ties perfectly with the other units of the Energy Race, which apply swift retribution to any overextension by the opponent (elaborated in the units' descriptions).

-Aegisi

Another humanoid, this time neon purple energy.

Tactics Explanation

The Aegisi wouldn't be much stronger than a Mecha with heal 2 if it weren't for its ability. By giving ally units energy shields, it increases the bulk of the bulky, and gives the more fragile members (most notably Blitzers) that little extra bonus they need to take some hits. This support unit is for the defensive game.

Energy shields:
- Adds an extra hit point
- Hit point is displayed above the unit's normal value, in purple
- These hit points can not be healed, meaning that when they're gone, they're gone
- A screen of neon purple light (the same colour as the Aegesi) covers the unit to show this effect. The opacity of this graphic intensifies the more bonus hit points have been added

-Space Mender

Neon blue energy this time. Curled up like a fetus in the womb.

Tactics Explanation

This healer gets around by teleporting, with a cool-down of only 1 turn! Like the Infector, it has a heal multiplier of 3. I like to think of it as a large, portable heal pad that is destructible for a turn after it teleports. Many important members of the energy race lose health very easily, so the Space Mender gives you a reason to hold back and keep them alive.

-Designator

A large, speedy looking humanoid made of pure neon pink energy. There are spikes on it's energy armour.

Tactics Explanation

The Designator plants mines on the field to damage any enemy unfortunate enough to step on them. But the mines have to be well placed - they go off automatically after 4 turns, which can damage ally units. Placing mines also damages the user, weakening it if it wished to mindlessly throw mines out in the open. It also forces the Designator to heal up afterwards, like a cool-down. Designators are best used to punish enemies who wish to beat up on Blitzers from melee range.

Special
Activated ability:
- Plants a land mine in a 1 hex radius
- Planting a land mine damages the Designator by 3 points
- Landmines ARE VISIBLE FROM THE SURFACE as a neon pink energy ball planted in the ground
- This ability takes up one action (with two actions you can plant a mine and move, or you can move and plant a mine)
- Land mines explode when stepped on BY AN ENEMY UNIT. The explosion deals damage to the enemy unit that stepped on it by the criteria below

Land Mine Attack:
GL 10
GH 10
Aerial 10 (Aerial units can not trigger the mine so this can only happen when the mine automatically explodes on its fourth turn)
Aquatic 0 (Mines do not go in water)
Amphibian 10

-Land mines explode after 4 turns regardless of whether or not an enemy unit is standing on it. This explosion can damage ally units and aerial units if they happen to be on that hex

-Star Cell

Tactics Explanation

Is it the red wire or the blue wire? Well enemies are sure going to have a time trying to shut this time-bomb down. After you place it (any free tile in your view), the enemy only has 4 turns to destroy it, or at least severely damage it to weaken the explosion. It functions as a great diversion to keep enemies focused while you advance with other units. It helps break the defensive, "builduppy" theme of the prior units, giving them reason to move forward and aggress.

Sapien Equivalent Tank

Mobility 0 (Like the Space Mender, it teleports)
Type Aerial

Attacks via explosion (Enemies do not receive damage by attacking the Star Cell)

Special

This unit works as a timed nuke:
- On the first round after it is built, you can teleport it to any hex on the map that is not obscured by the Fog of War.
- The Star Cell remains there for 4 turns.
- It can heal during those turns.
- It's healing does not get amplified by Space Menders
- Its graphic changes for each of those turns (elaborated in the image below).
- After the 4th turn, the Star Cell explodes, dealing damage to all enemy units within a 4 hex radius based on the values below.

Star Cell Explosion
GL 14
GH 14
Aerial 15
Aquatic 14
Amphibian 14
Explosion Radius 1-4
Underwater units penalty -8

Note:
- The explosion's power is reduced based on it's remaining health similar to the attack of other units
- The Star Cell does not explode if it has been defeated

Graphics

Observe the image below.

- When created it will be red like "Class M"
- On the first turn after teleportation it will be orange like "Class K"
- Second turn: Yellow, like "Class G"
- Third turn: Whitish-Blue, like "Class A"
- Fourth turn (final turn before it explodes): Blue, like "Class O"

-Draconian Spectre

Tactics Explanation

The Draconian Spectre is a tankier helicopter with lower MAA and attacks. It heals up quickly after being damaged and still deals out some noteworthy damage to all unit types. It especially deals with the aerial weakness developed through the previous units. But most importantly... IT LOOKS SO FKIN COOL!

-Tomopteris

The Tomopteris does not give a damn what kind of armour you're wearing. It'll just phase through. If you get passed its armour piercing gimmick, it functions quite similarly to a Khralien Salamander.

-Galvanizer

Tactics Explanation

No, it doesn't coat steel with zinc. It shocks! If a ground-light unit decides to take a stroll by the beach, you won't be seeing it again. However, such assassinations put the Galvanizer at an extreme risk of meeting the same fate. It is a suicide bomber at its finest. If you can build up a bunch of these (which shouldn't be difficult due to their cheap cost), there's a good chance you'll be able to break through and take down more than they're worth. If you decide to go in lone-wolf style, you'll find that they'll get shot down before any damage is dealt.

-Oceanus

A large, humanoid apparition that can control water.

Tactics Explanation

Nothing too special about this guy. He has a single hex move after attack, shorter range than other aquatics, and some pretty nice defense. Strategy wise, I would wall with this guy and hide some Galvanizers behind him. He can't heal as well as other boats so I would probably find a way to sneak a Space Mender by him.
