*Cutter's leader power is the slowest and most noticeable of the three (Cutter's MAC Blast, Sgt. Forge's Carpet Bomb, and Anders Cryo Bomb). It is smart to use Cutter's leader power against a {{Pattern|Deutoros|Scarab}}, or an enemy base.

*Cutter's main advantage is that he can gain an early foothold in any Skirmish since his starting base is a [[Fortress]], which makes him very good at rushing the enemy.

*It is preferred to send a scout Warthog to see what the opponent foe is doing at the early stages of a Skirmish. However, since Cutter can produce Elephants, it is common to send an Elephant to an enemy base and continuously harass the foe with infantry while a larger force is assembled at the player's base.

===Strategy===
*'''UNSC Raid''' allows players to seize Power Node faster and often ''unintentionally'' hire the local[[Aggressor Sentinel]] to guard the Power Node.
*It's best to have several armored units, such as Scorpion, Wolverines, and Kodiak to support the infantries. This was practically due to Captain Cutter's specialty relies on infantry movements.
*For the elements of surprise, '''ODST Assault Group''', '''Cyclops Drop''', and '''ODST Drop''' can be dropped simultaneously to give the opponents a brief time of stun and chance of surprise attack.
*Conserve your units as much as you could since '''Battle Hardened''' allows all units except Nightingale to earn veterancy faster, making them more efficient at late game.
