Infantry and Aircraft
How to read this page: The values for each unit were obtained from the 1.02
Kane's Wrath XML files. The armor percentages indicate the percentage of damage the unit takes from each damage type. Something with 75% cannon armor takes 75% damage from a weapon that deals cannon damage. Time between bursts refers to the time between the end of one burst and the start of another. Damage per clip indicates that the weapon fires a rapid succession of projectiles, damage per shot indicates a singular attack. Units with multiple weapons have the damage, range, and firing rate values for each weapon listed separately. Pay close attention to the wording.

Build Time: 0:05
Prerequisites: Hand of Nod
Tier: 1
Squad size: 3
Speed: 45
Damage per clip: 18 per squad member (Gun)
Time between bursts: 0.35 seconds, each burst lasts .3 seconds
Splash radius: 0
Armor: 25% Cannon, 50% Rocket, 75% Grenade, 100% Gun, 100% Sniper

Health per squad member: 300
Awakened are the product of years of cybernetics research by the Brotherhood. Gathered from the ranks of the fallen and equipped with upgraded armor, machine guns, and EMP launchers, a full Awakened squad is the strongest basic infantry unit. Utterly devoted to Kane, the Awakened are capable servants for the Marked of Kane. They are not upgradeable (but see the tip below for an exception).
Awakened Drafting
When sold, buildings do not return a full Awakened squad but only a single cyborg. Due to their small squad size, Awakened are particularly vulnerable to Scrin Buzzers.
Awakened EMP
The EMP launchers of the Awakened are known to be bugged and are unreliable when firing.
Special Abilities:
Call for Transport: If an Air Tower is deployed, Awakened can call in a Marked of Kane transport for pickup for a small fee of $200. This ability has a 2 minute cooldown.
EMP Blast: Awakened fire off their EMP, disabling vehicles caught in the blast for 5 seconds in a radius of 50.This activated and targeted ability has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Awakened Upgrading
If a Marked of Kane commander has access to Black Hand Charged Particle Beams, Awakened will switch to firing a green energy beam that does 150 (Cannon) damage every 2.6 seconds at a range of 300. This lowers their overall damage per second, but adds 20% more range and makes them more effective against vehicles.
Militant Rocket Squad
Cost: $400
Build Time: 0:04
Prerequisites: Hand of Nod
Tier: 1
Squad size: 2
Speed: 43
Damage per shot: 250 per squad member (Rocket), 75% damage to Aircraft

Range: 350
Health: 300 per squad member
Militant Rocket Squads give the Marked of Kane a cheap, easily-massed anti-armor and anti-aircraft infantry.
Upgrades:Tiberium Infusion: Enhancements on Kane's Divination project have allowed the Marked of Kane's militants to receive beneficial side-effects from Tiberium Infusion. Tiberium Infusion adds a 10% health bonus, 25% speed bonus, and immunity to Tiberium to Rocket Militia, and also changes their gun armor to 100%.
Special Abilities:
Call for Transport: If an Air Tower is deployed, Rocket Militia can call in a transport for pickup for a small fee of $200. This ability has a 2 minute cooldown.
Saboteur
Cost: $500

Tier: 1
Squad size: 1
Speed: 36
Armor: 25% Cannon, 25% Rocket, 75% Grenade, 100% Gun, 100% Sniper
Health: 75
Saboteurs are unarmed and vulnerable, but can repair friendly structures, or capture neutral or enemy buildings. They can also plant Booby Traps to prevent other structures from being captured. While rather slow in their original state, the Cybernetic Legs upgrade gives them a dramatic speed boost.
Capture Delay
Saboteurs have a three-second capture delay between reaching and capturing a building.
Upgrades:Cybernetic Legs: Extensive research into cybernetic limbs has yielded enhanced actuators that provide Marked of Kane Saboteurs with twice as much speed as they had before.
Special Abilities:
Call for Transport: If an Air Tower is deployed, Saboteurs can call in a Marked of Kane Transport for pickup for a small fee of $200. This ability has a 2 minute cooldown.
Booby Trap: Saboteurs can Booby Trap structures, causing them to explode when an enemy attempts to capture them. The Booby Trap does 200 Grenade damage, more than enough to pulverize enemy Engineers. Booby Traps placed on Husks, tech structures, or bridges also kill the object to which they are attached. If enemy infantry attempt to garrison a building that has a Booby Trap on it, they are instantly killed.
Fanatics
Cost: $700
Build Time: 0:07
Prerequisites: Hand of Nod, Operations Center

The most fervent of the Marked of Kane's infantry are willing to strap on explosive packages and detonate themselves for the cause of Nod in order to cause collateral damage. Fanatics willingly sacrifice themselves to take down the hated vehicles of GDI, but they are quite vulnerable. Due to the hazardous nature of their job, Fanatics cannot gain experience and veterancy.
Upgrades:Tiberium Infusion: Tiberium Infusion improves the armor of Fanatics, changing their armor values to 25% Cannon, 25% Rocket, 75% Grenade, 100% Gun, 100% Sniper, while also conferring immunity to Tiberium, a 10% health increase, and a 25% speed increase.
Special Abilities:

A sadistic training program known to only a few has produced a handful of highly-trained female Commandos for the Marked of Kane. Their laser pistols quickly shred squads of infantry, while their C4 charges make short work of walkers and structures, though they are suppressed for 1 second after using them. Furthermore, Commandos carry portable stealth generators that allow them to slip into enemy installations undetected to wreak havoc. Only one Commando may be trained at a time.
Special Abilities:
