Strategy

“ I'll shut it down!

- Super Hacker ”

If a general could get them into a base they could quickly disable key vehicles that made up the enemy's defense. Because of the fact that they were stealthed, even when walking and hacking cash, was an great advantage in the attack on enemy vehicles. Unlike Lotus, Hackers needed to stay in contact with the vehicle/building to disable them.

Like the normal Hackers they were often trained midway through a battle in order to stop a commander's funds running out and could be protected inside an Internet Center.

Counters

“ Quick, it will only down for a little while!

- Super Hacker ”

If an enemy could get to the Super Hacker they could be taken down easily by anti-infantry fire, although they were usually escorted by guards. Long-range attacks such as Scud launcher or Inferno cannon as well as aircraft were more effective as they could target a Hacker from outside his range. But none of them were as deadly as the Pathfinder snipers of the USA and Jarmen Kell, as they both could detect Super Hackers and kill them off with ease.

Trivia

“ I will get control of their building!

- Super Hacker's Capture Building unused quote ”

According to the Zero Hour's sound files, the Super Hacker's original third ability was the building capture, the building capture ability was likely removed due to the fact that it would make the Super Hacker to more or less, share the same functions as Super Lotus. Being cheaper to train and mass, it would have unbalanced the game and made Super Lotus redundant.
