- 00:00:00hey what's up guys this is cob bit of a
- 00:00:01different video here today man this
- 00:00:03replay is submitted by Mr rain maker
- 00:00:05over here and this game is about 500 MMR
- 00:00:08and that's the point right this video is
- 00:00:10going to all be about beginner tips
- 00:00:12beginner things to help onboard new
- 00:00:14players um and yeah if you're not a new
- 00:00:17player what I want you all to do man is
- 00:00:18share any tips that helped you out
- 00:00:21getting started in mechab Bellum what
- 00:00:23was it that really helped you to start
- 00:00:25to you know Ascend to 1K MMR and above
- 00:00:27and really just get you a foothold in
- 00:00:29the game get you started I think it
- 00:00:30would be a really awesome like
- 00:00:31collaborative effort to just help out
- 00:00:33new players and um yeah I'm almost
- 00:00:36certain to miss a whole lot of beginner
- 00:00:39tips in this one because it's just hard
- 00:00:41for me to remember everything on the
- 00:00:42spot highest MMR I've been is like, 1600
- 00:00:44MMR so you don't have to be like a crazy
- 00:00:47professional I'm certainly not uh to
- 00:00:50share some of your wisdom down below and
- 00:00:51some things that might help some people
- 00:00:52out man and I think of be a cool little
- 00:00:54video okay so first things first red
- 00:00:57maker is starting out here as Max
- 00:01:00specialist okay tight tight tight also
- 00:01:02by the way I just want to shout out huge
- 00:01:04shout out to Mr red maker for submitting
- 00:01:06this and being open to uh yeah taking
- 00:01:09some feedback taking some critiques of
- 00:01:11his player uh things that he can do
- 00:01:13better and all that good stuff awesome
- 00:01:15dude okay so first thing you want to do
- 00:01:18right away in round one is imagine how
- 00:01:21your opponent might set out usually
- 00:01:23you've got going to have like chaff
- 00:01:24units like either crawlers or fangs um
- 00:01:26usually Crawlers on the backline and
- 00:01:29then another wave of chaff on the front
- 00:01:31with kind of core units in the middle
- 00:01:33and it looks like red is actually doing
- 00:01:34that so it makes me wonder what MMR is
- 00:01:36red actually at uh but what we doing
- 00:01:38right here is placing our sledgehammers
- 00:01:41a little bit too far forwards one of the
- 00:01:43things you want to do when you're
- 00:01:44planning out how to position your units
- 00:01:47is consider the fact that you always
- 00:01:49want your opponent to be attacking into
- 00:01:51your chaff line first right and then you
- 00:01:54want the second chaff line to arrive
- 00:01:57before the first chaff line dies you
- 00:02:00know what I'm saying like you got to
- 00:02:02keep your opponent attacking useless
- 00:02:04units for as long as you possibly can
- 00:02:06while protecting your core units the
- 00:02:09problem right here with rain Maker's
- 00:02:11layout is that the sledgehammers are
- 00:02:14just a little bit too far forwards right
- 00:02:16this a little bit too far forwards and
- 00:02:19the sledgehammers have slightly more
- 00:02:21movement speed than the fangs and this
- 00:02:23is one of the this is for me like one of
- 00:02:25the core things one of the first things
- 00:02:28that you got to really pay attention to
- 00:02:29when learning to use your units in Mecca
- 00:02:31right is the movement speed on units so
- 00:02:34the sledgehammers are moving at 7 m/
- 00:02:36second whereas the fangs are only moving
- 00:02:38at six so what's going to happen is that
- 00:02:40the sledges are naturally going to push
- 00:02:42in front even if it's just slightly of
- 00:02:45the fangs right they're going to push
- 00:02:47just a little bit far ahead and it's
- 00:02:48going to make them quite vulnerable
- 00:02:49they're going to be very very easy for
- 00:02:51your opponent to kind of single out um
- 00:02:54and yeah and just trade into positively
- 00:02:56you know they could place like a
- 00:02:57fortress here in a future round it would
- 00:02:58just decimate these guys uh you get the
- 00:03:02picture right so yeah you've always
- 00:03:04always always got to bear that in mind
- 00:03:07try and pay attention to the order in
- 00:03:09which your units are going to arrive at
- 00:03:12the enemy front line and you can use
- 00:03:13things like range as well to kind of
- 00:03:15gauge where your units are going to stop
- 00:03:17moving and yeah it's all just about
- 00:03:19setting up micro trades from there but
- 00:03:21I'd highly recommend just learning to
- 00:03:23use speed to your advantage first
- 00:03:26because whichever unit of yours arrives
- 00:03:28in first is the is the unit that your
- 00:03:30opponent's going to be shooting at right
- 00:03:32so again you want your unit shooting at
- 00:03:34crap as much as you can so these fangs
- 00:03:37right here are actually a very very good
- 00:03:39placement like this is awesome sadly
- 00:03:41they're going to run straight into three
- 00:03:42aites which is not awesome but it is
- 00:03:45what it is right better it's hitting
- 00:03:46acolytes than it is uh sorry better
- 00:03:48better that these fangs are dying than
- 00:03:50it's a pack of sledgehammers here that
- 00:03:51are going to die immediately you
- 00:03:53know okay so let's see how the first
- 00:03:55round kind of plays out we are up
- 00:03:57against cost control specialist this
- 00:03:59this is another thing you want to be
- 00:04:01scouting relatively early on in your
- 00:04:03games if not right away uh is what kind
- 00:04:06of specialist is your opponent running
- 00:04:08you know if they're running something
- 00:04:10like a cost control specialist be aware
- 00:04:12that they're going to have that extra
- 00:04:14100 Supply every round and that really
- 00:04:16counts for a lot in particularly the
- 00:04:18first few rounds so you're got to be
- 00:04:20kind of ready for your opponent to spam
- 00:04:22out things like a lot of chaff units or
- 00:04:24even Rush a bigger unit in the early
- 00:04:26rounds if they're playing cost control
- 00:04:29we're quite well protected against our
- 00:04:31opponent going for a bigger unit because
- 00:04:32we are playing maxman specialist so
- 00:04:34we've kind of got that covered right it
- 00:04:35doesn't really matter so much if our
- 00:04:37opponent decides now to rush say two
- 00:04:39extra packs of sledgehammers or
- 00:04:40something like they'll kind of get
- 00:04:42wrecked by the maxim
- 00:04:44anyway uh unit choices here
- 00:04:50H so okay our opponent actually goes for
- 00:04:56Phoenix's I think I recommend the Dangs
- 00:05:00here
- 00:05:02personally and we actually go for the
- 00:05:05rift
- 00:05:07okay I mean I guess the ri isn't bad I
- 00:05:11mean it it it could be quite bad because
- 00:05:13our report like we can see here now with
- 00:05:15hindsight that our opponent's gone into
- 00:05:16the Phoenix's um The Wraith The Wraith
- 00:05:21is really only good for killing off
- 00:05:23enemy chaff units right for killing off
- 00:05:26things like crawlers and fangs and stuff
- 00:05:28like that smaller
- 00:05:30guys the reason I would not go into The
- 00:05:33Wraith here o actually hang on hang on
- 00:05:36hang on hang on let me Rew this a little
- 00:05:38bit so what we've already talked about
- 00:05:40is like movement speed and stuff like
- 00:05:41that on units right I think that The
- 00:05:44Wraith actually can work here um if we
- 00:05:47spam out a whole lot of crawlers the
- 00:05:49problem with The Wraith is that it has
- 00:05:50very very low range like extremely low
- 00:05:54range for a ranged unit but its move
- 00:05:56speed is faster than the fangs and so
- 00:05:58what The Wraith is going to do is
- 00:05:59actually just push in front of the fangs
- 00:06:02and just die very very quickly to any
- 00:06:04anti-air that our opponent is running um
- 00:06:07so the way that you combat that is have
- 00:06:08Crawlers on the field to push in front
- 00:06:11of the W right so i' be curious to see
- 00:06:13if we do actually buy a couple units of
- 00:06:15crawlers here to protect the ri which I
- 00:06:19feel would be the best
- 00:06:21way ooh okay we actually just go for
- 00:06:23another wraith as well that's going to
- 00:06:25put a big dent in our
- 00:06:27supply h
- 00:06:31okay all
- 00:06:35right
- 00:06:37okay going to be curious to see how this
- 00:06:39one goes we are going to be accidentally
- 00:06:41lining up this WTH here against these
- 00:06:45phoenixes which is going to be quite
- 00:06:47painful for us I also want to point out
- 00:06:50as well that the reason you generally do
- 00:06:52not want to place your sledgehammers in
- 00:06:55a way like this is because if your
- 00:06:57opponent then buys a Sentry missile and
- 00:07:00places it right here yeah these guys are
- 00:07:02eliminated from the round immediately
- 00:07:04without doing anything right that's why
- 00:07:06you want them a little bit further
- 00:07:08behind the chaff so that the Sentry
- 00:07:10missiles can connect on these
- 00:07:13guys and what we really could have done
- 00:07:16with doing in this round is honestly
- 00:07:18just placing some extra fangs in front
- 00:07:19of the sledgehammers like here and here
- 00:07:22thankfully our opponent is not quite
- 00:07:23going to capitalize on our
- 00:07:25mispositioning of these sledgehammers
- 00:07:27like I think if our opponent the Phoenix
- 00:07:29is a still going to get pretty good
- 00:07:30value by the way um particularly into
- 00:07:32the sledgehammers here but it could have
- 00:07:34been even better like if our opponent
- 00:07:36placed these phoenixes a little bit
- 00:07:38further to this left side they would
- 00:07:40have ran straight into these sledges and
- 00:07:42they would have been completely
- 00:07:43unprotected and died even
- 00:07:46faster and that's another little trick
- 00:07:48that you want to start to work on a
- 00:07:49little
- 00:07:50bit is um really pay
- 00:07:53attention to what your units are running
- 00:07:56into on the other side of the map for
- 00:07:58example if your opponent has Phoenix set
- 00:07:59up here like he does you probably want a
- 00:08:02unit of Mustangs or some maxmen or
- 00:08:04something on this side that's going to
- 00:08:05run into the phoenixes and be able to
- 00:08:07deal with them you know setting up those
- 00:08:09micro trades and then just trying to get
- 00:08:11the two units to
- 00:08:13connect is another way what we can deal
- 00:08:16with this but look man oh the RS have
- 00:08:19really quite poor damage against
- 00:08:21anything that's
- 00:08:22not uh crawlers or
- 00:08:27fangs okay strike specialist deployment
- 00:08:30module okay we go for the Hast module we
- 00:08:34slam the Hast module on the
- 00:08:37maxman and then we build another maxman
- 00:08:40okay I'm just going to go ahead and stop
- 00:08:41the rep player right here yeah I really
- 00:08:43feel like we need to cover the Fang H
- 00:08:44sorry cover the sledgehammers here with
- 00:08:46uh some more Fang units I think that
- 00:08:48that would be a complete line of
- 00:08:50Frontline chaff at that point and we' be
- 00:08:52protecting everything in the middle and
- 00:08:54I think it'll be just be pretty fine um
- 00:08:57I also think that instead of maxman at
- 00:08:59this point we could honestly just drop
- 00:09:01another pack of sledgehammers here we've
- 00:09:04really got to think about transitioning
- 00:09:05from the early game rounds into what
- 00:09:08we're going to be doing in like the mid
- 00:09:09and lad game here
- 00:09:13um H so generally speaking A good rule
- 00:09:16of thumb is to get things like a good
- 00:09:19front line of chaff going usually works
- 00:09:22quite good as fangs but it can also be
- 00:09:24crawlers like there's there's no hard
- 00:09:26and fast rule rule right then you want
- 00:09:28at least least two or three packs of
- 00:09:31crawlers all the way on your backline
- 00:09:33that are going to arrive to the fight
- 00:09:34much much later ideally you want to have
- 00:09:37all of those chaff units the Crawlers
- 00:09:39and the fangs all the Crawlers and the
- 00:09:40Crawlers placed in the first three or
- 00:09:42four rounds you know just have it done
- 00:09:45so you can sort of forget about it um
- 00:09:48and start really building on core units
- 00:09:50the core units we're going for here in
- 00:09:52the Ws I think can be fine as long as
- 00:09:55you have the Crawlers on the backline to
- 00:09:57run in front of them right we just got
- 00:09:59to try and protect these core units as
- 00:10:01much as we can and with the raats having
- 00:10:03such short range they're in real danger
- 00:10:06of just pushing into Phoenix's right now
- 00:10:08which is really really bad for them cuz
- 00:10:10they're so badly out ranged by the
- 00:10:13Phoenix's um and the reason I would
- 00:10:15suggest going into more sledgehammers
- 00:10:17here is because just looking at what our
- 00:10:19opponent is building I mean he's got the
- 00:10:21arites he's got the storm callers he's
- 00:10:24got some sledgehammers of his own he's
- 00:10:26got nothing that's really that
- 00:10:27convincing apart from the Phoenix's at
- 00:10:30killing off sledgehammers and so what
- 00:10:33you want to be doing is trying to get
- 00:10:34into a position by like round four or
- 00:10:37five where you have maybe I don't know
- 00:10:40like four units of something like
- 00:10:42sledgehammers or something like rits uh
- 00:10:45or some kind of core unit that's going
- 00:10:47to carry you through the game or carry
- 00:10:48you through the mid game at least that
- 00:10:50you can then push your Tech button on
- 00:10:52right you want like a good amount of
- 00:10:53them ready to go because the more
- 00:10:55sledgehammers you have to an extent I'm
- 00:10:58not saying have like eight packs of
- 00:10:59sledgehammers but once you've got like
- 00:11:00three or four packs of sledgehammers
- 00:11:02suddenly pushing the mechanical rage
- 00:11:04button gets you a hell of a lot of value
- 00:11:06right or pushing the plus range button
- 00:11:07is going to get you um much much more
- 00:11:09value than it usually would um but until
- 00:11:13that round until like round four or five
- 00:11:16the only thing you should be doing is
- 00:11:17building your chaff line on the back and
- 00:11:20on the
- 00:11:21front
- 00:11:22and um just diversifying your army as
- 00:11:26much as you can right you want a little
- 00:11:28bit of anti-air which we've taken care
- 00:11:29of oh nice we actually do go for the
- 00:11:31sledgehammers you want some relatively
- 00:11:33tanky units that won't just die to
- 00:11:36something like nice even more
- 00:11:37sledgehammers dude I like this o I don't
- 00:11:39like the positioning though I don't like
- 00:11:41that positioning at all o I don't like
- 00:11:44that but yeah you want you want to try
- 00:11:45and cover as many bases as you can right
- 00:11:47you want some anti-air units you want
- 00:11:48your chaff taken care of um and you want
- 00:11:51some medium units or a giant Rush which
- 00:11:54you can do with some Specialists of
- 00:11:56course we playing maxman in this one so
- 00:11:57it's not quite as open to us to like
- 00:11:59Rush something like an early Vulcan or
- 00:12:01something like that but generally
- 00:12:03speaking I'm quite liking the shape of
- 00:12:05this Army I think it's okay like the way
- 00:12:07that it's shaping up uh we're just
- 00:12:09missing the backline chaf and now the
- 00:12:11positioning of these Sledgehammer is
- 00:12:12really really bad again because these
- 00:12:14centry missiles can come on down at any
- 00:12:17time here we're completely undefended
- 00:12:19against these because now God these are
- 00:12:21so vulnerable right our opponent could
- 00:12:23place a Sentry here and a Sentry here
- 00:12:25and just delete like our opponent can
- 00:12:28spend 400 sorry 100 Supply on Sentry
- 00:12:32missiles 100 Supply to delete 400 supply
- 00:12:37of sledgehammers does that make sense
- 00:12:38like it's really really it's really
- 00:12:40really gly it's really really bad right
- 00:12:41because now we're going to need a unit
- 00:12:43of fangs here in i' I'd suggest a
- 00:12:46vertical pattern of fangs here and a
- 00:12:48vertical pattern of fangs here to
- 00:12:50protect these guys now right so they can
- 00:12:53get hit by Sentry missile so we can
- 00:12:55still make this work not All Is Lost and
- 00:12:58our opponent is not capitalizing on
- 00:13:00these mistakes just yet so that's like
- 00:13:03that's a good thing for us you know
- 00:13:04we've got some room here to uh to adjust
- 00:13:08but really next round for me it would be
- 00:13:10like fangs fangs
- 00:13:12crawlers or crawlers at the back or
- 00:13:15crawlers at the back you know that's
- 00:13:17really what I'd be doing but the problem
- 00:13:18is we're already like a 10 behind here
- 00:13:21with getting all of that uh chaff
- 00:13:25setup in my view now that
- 00:13:29said the slidy is getting a decent
- 00:13:32amount done before they go down the
- 00:13:34Phoenix is a little bit of a problem
- 00:13:36because once again look at The Wraith
- 00:13:37now it's just pushing in front of these
- 00:13:40fangs right here and it's going to start
- 00:13:42getting sniped down by the phoenixes it
- 00:13:43actually gets the Phoenix's dead which
- 00:13:46is kind of hilarious but nine times out
- 00:13:48of 10 the Wrath is just going to
- 00:13:50overextend and get a little bit clapped
- 00:13:53by the phoenixes I still suggest
- 00:13:55actually selling the RS by the way at
- 00:13:57this point I feel like I'll opponent has
- 00:14:00very very very little chaff um and yeah
- 00:14:04getting used to honestly selling units
- 00:14:06that you feel like you don't really need
- 00:14:08especially around the mid
- 00:14:10game it's just a really really good
- 00:14:11habit to get into enhancement module by
- 00:14:14the way is amazing here upgrading units
- 00:14:17equip with this item no longer consumes
- 00:14:21supplies damn okay we go for senior
- 00:14:23defense specialist which on its own
- 00:14:24isn't bad by the way our opponent's
- 00:14:26actually investing a lot into storm
- 00:14:27callers at this point so that's
- 00:14:28something that we're going to need to
- 00:14:29watch that's another point in favor of
- 00:14:31crawlers by the way um but okay just
- 00:14:35going to go ahead and pause this real
- 00:14:37fast just to explain my thought
- 00:14:40processes yeah so the reason that
- 00:14:42enhancement module is so good and this
- 00:14:44is maybe like a little bit Advanced for
- 00:14:45like a beginner player but um the reason
- 00:14:48enhancement module was so good is
- 00:14:49because you can slam it onto a unit that
- 00:14:51you want to get rid of like this wraith
- 00:14:54right or that you don't mind getting rid
- 00:14:55of in this case I don't feel like The
- 00:14:57Wraith is doing its job it's jobish to
- 00:14:59kill things like crawlers and fangs and
- 00:15:01smaller units right it can be scaled up
- 00:15:04to be like a crazy carry unit but I mean
- 00:15:06it's it's not the best right it's really
- 00:15:09really best to killing off smaller guys
- 00:15:11like chaff and honestly our opponent is
- 00:15:13only running two packs of crawlers you
- 00:15:16know 100 supply of crawlers 100 supply
- 00:15:18of crawlers and we're answering that
- 00:15:21with 700 Supply I think this is how much
- 00:15:24no what am I talking about 600 supply of
- 00:15:26RS it's a lot right it's a lot it's kind
- 00:15:29of Overkill we don't really need it what
- 00:15:31I'd suggest is get the enhancement
- 00:15:33module upgrade this W for free and then
- 00:15:37use the field recovery Beacon over here
- 00:15:39on your building to sell this Rift then
- 00:15:42you can put the enhancement module on
- 00:15:44add an know a maxman and upgrade them
- 00:15:45for free as well and you can honestly be
- 00:15:48freely upgrading your guys and selling
- 00:15:50them instantly sometimes replacing them
- 00:15:52sometimes not replacing them for a lot
- 00:15:55of the game and be earning a lot of
- 00:15:57money back but I won't go too much into
- 00:15:58that one tldr is if you're a beginner
- 00:16:00player the enhancement module combined
- 00:16:03with the field recovery Beacon is very
- 00:16:05very good it's just a really really good
- 00:16:06combo um okay so we have 400 Supply left
- 00:16:11to B we get a lot of upgrades on the
- 00:16:13maxman here which by the way upgrades
- 00:16:16for upgrades sake and not always good
- 00:16:18it's very coste efficient in how it uh
- 00:16:21boosts your power on the board it's true
- 00:16:23right upgrades are really really good
- 00:16:24for that but the problem with upgrades
- 00:16:26particularly on sniper units and kind of
- 00:16:28maxman unit like this whether it's
- 00:16:30Phoenix's or
- 00:16:31maxman is that often they just don't
- 00:16:34need the extra health or the extra
- 00:16:36damage right o wow we really really got
- 00:16:38heavy into the maxman here
- 00:16:40huh we really really go heavy into the
- 00:16:43maxman which by the way I think it's
- 00:16:45okay just because our opponent is
- 00:16:47running so few crawlers so they're
- 00:16:50actually getting to hit high value
- 00:16:51targets a lot of the time because our
- 00:16:53opponent like our CHF line is not ideal
- 00:16:56right the sledgehammers are exposed we
- 00:16:58have no backline chaff that are arriving
- 00:17:00late um so our CHF line is not ideal but
- 00:17:03at least it's a Cha line our opponent
- 00:17:05only has two packs of fangs and so going
- 00:17:09a lot of maxman here I think is actually
- 00:17:11fine it's actually okay like most of the
- 00:17:12time they're going to get to connect on
- 00:17:14pretty high value targets I'd be a
- 00:17:16little bit worried about the storm
- 00:17:17callers that do T tend to uh trade quite
- 00:17:20quite
- 00:17:21nicely into maxman just because they
- 00:17:24outnumber them right um so I'd be a
- 00:17:27little bit worried about that
- 00:17:30I'd be less worried if the maxman had
- 00:17:31range but is what it is it looks like
- 00:17:33we've actually spent most of all of our
- 00:17:35supply already um but yeah generally
- 00:17:37speaking you just don't need the extra
- 00:17:38health or the extra damage on sniper
- 00:17:41units super early into the game a couple
- 00:17:43of levels is fine going all the way to
- 00:17:46level four on this maxman like he's
- 00:17:48hitting for 1,300 damage at this point
- 00:17:52and I know this is Rich coming from me
- 00:17:54being a meme Lord and I just like to see
- 00:17:56big numbers and all of that but like 30
- 00:17:5800 damage on this maxman what's the
- 00:18:00highest health enemy on the map right
- 00:18:03now I guess it's this Zite 99.8k Health
- 00:18:08this this aite has so I'm pretty sure
- 00:18:10that even without an upgrade on this
- 00:18:12maximum it still one shots everything on
- 00:18:14the field you see what I mean and so
- 00:18:16like that wasted Supply well that Supply
- 00:18:18is wasted you know it's not actually
- 00:18:19doing
- 00:18:20anything and here we go man these
- 00:18:22sledgehammers being too far forwards
- 00:18:24right now is really going to punish us
- 00:18:25because now these phoenixes get to
- 00:18:26connect for free on these sledges and
- 00:18:29it's just going to absolutely eviscerate
- 00:18:31them which is real rough and that's why
- 00:18:34the positioning of your chaff is so so
- 00:18:36important so so
- 00:18:40crucial but okay you know what all in
- 00:18:44all I feel like we actually have a
- 00:18:45pretty balanced army and that that is on
- 00:18:48its own enough at this stage for us to
- 00:18:51be able to push
- 00:18:52through onto our opponent and just get
- 00:18:55on top of his storm callers which is
- 00:18:57nice
- 00:18:59it's fine God man I got to got to go
- 00:19:01ahead and hide the chat it's getting on
- 00:19:03my
- 00:19:03nerves okay tight we actually check the
- 00:19:07first round win okay there's one thing
- 00:19:09there's one play I want to see here
- 00:19:10going into round five that I believe we
- 00:19:12absolutely should do no matter what I
- 00:19:15think that smoke bomb by the way is a
- 00:19:16lot of value here very very good yes we
- 00:19:19do go for the smoke
- 00:19:22bomb really really big value play here I
- 00:19:24believe is just pushing the mechanical
- 00:19:27Ridge button on the sledgehammers I
- 00:19:29think that's a huge huge value player
- 00:19:31and I'm going to explain why
- 00:19:33okay first of all we have four packs of
- 00:19:36sledgehammers which is good it's a good
- 00:19:38number right you don't want to go for a
- 00:19:39tech upgrade on a unit where you've got
- 00:19:41like one unit of sledgehammers it's just
- 00:19:44not worth it you know you're spending
- 00:19:45300 Supply to upgrade the uh the attack
- 00:19:48rate and speed of one Sledgehammer who
- 00:19:49the hell wants to do that but we've
- 00:19:51actually built up a pretty good amount
- 00:19:52of sledges um we should be covering them
- 00:19:54with more fangs here and here on this
- 00:19:56turn I really really hope that we do
- 00:19:58that
- 00:20:00but yeah now that we have four
- 00:20:01sledgehammers I feel like it's
- 00:20:02absolutely worth it to hit the
- 00:20:04mechanical rage button um I still feel
- 00:20:06like we should be selling the W but I've
- 00:20:08already talked about that
- 00:20:10um and next up we also have to pay some
- 00:20:14attention to the plus range on his storm
- 00:20:17callers right in fact no we don't no we
- 00:20:20don't because the mechanical range is
- 00:20:22already a pretty damn good answer to
- 00:20:23that right because this is another
- 00:20:26general rule that's going to help you
- 00:20:27out quite a bit as in player and helped
- 00:20:28me out quite a bit as well it doesn't
- 00:20:31matter if your opponent has crazy range
- 00:20:34advantage over you if you have insane
- 00:20:37movement speed right movement speed and
- 00:20:40range when it comes to a one-on-one
- 00:20:42trade especially with something that
- 00:20:43fire is quite slow like uh storm callers
- 00:20:46maxman stuff like that these storm
- 00:20:48callers have crazy range right if we
- 00:20:51Disc Go plus speed on the
- 00:20:54sledgehammers suddenly they care 10
- 00:20:56times less about the storm caller range
- 00:20:57because they they close the gap so so
- 00:20:59quickly I really really wish that we had
- 00:21:01this Hast module by the way the Hast
- 00:21:03module that we put on this maxman that I
- 00:21:05swear to God I feel like it's not doing
- 00:21:06anything you can slam that on something
- 00:21:08like a sledgehammer unit especially if
- 00:21:10it's like a level two Sledgehammer unit
- 00:21:11like this um and just get them in 10
- 00:21:13times faster and it would be awesome but
- 00:21:16again I feel like we need fangs here
- 00:21:18fangs here to protect from
- 00:21:20missiles I'd go mechanical Ridge on the
- 00:21:23sledgehammers upgrade these guys too to
- 00:21:25our rank two by the way and then I'd
- 00:21:28start using the mass recruit button this
- 00:21:31is another button as well that I don't
- 00:21:32think we've seen pushed by either player
- 00:21:34this game the mass recruit button on
- 00:21:36your command center whenever you're in a
- 00:21:38spot where yeah you've got that spare
- 00:21:40Supply left to spend at the end of a
- 00:21:42round go ahead Mass recruit start
- 00:21:45getting some Crawlers on the back line
- 00:21:47we'd be in a very very very good winning
- 00:21:49position going into round six at that
- 00:21:51point we might even have some Supply
- 00:21:53left over to get one point in attack
- 00:21:55enhancement and one in defense
- 00:21:56enhancement as well big big tip for new
- 00:21:58players in general is to not ignore the
- 00:22:02tools that you have available to you on
- 00:22:03your buildings right just make it your
- 00:22:05focus you
- 00:22:07know every game focus on using a
- 00:22:10different Button as efficiently as you
- 00:22:11can and just get used to using them get
- 00:22:13used to the scenarios in which each
- 00:22:15button should be pushed as a quick
- 00:22:17spoiler by the way any round like round
- 00:22:20eight and beyond always push the high
- 00:22:23mobility and enhanced range button
- 00:22:25pretty much every time okay it's like
- 00:22:2799% of the time that is going to be a
- 00:22:30helpful tip for you it's just too much
- 00:22:33value because like by round eight the
- 00:22:34armies are so big that any kind of
- 00:22:37army-wide Buffs that you can give every
- 00:22:39round to your guys on the Command Center
- 00:22:42building are always going to be worth
- 00:22:44pushing okay again we're investing a lot
- 00:22:47into these maxmen I feel like they're
- 00:22:48already strong enough don't think we
- 00:22:50need to worry too hard our opponent is
- 00:22:53making the big pivot into fortresses and
- 00:22:55no dude no okay we actually go into just
- 00:22:59more sledgehammers and again they're a
- 00:23:02little too far forwards for my
- 00:23:04liking little too far
- 00:23:08forwards all
- 00:23:11right yeah the issue now is I feel these
- 00:23:13sledgehammers you're just going to drive
- 00:23:15straight into the fortresses and the
- 00:23:16phoenixes and die horribly like these
- 00:23:18guys are too far forwards we already
- 00:23:20know that again like this is what we
- 00:23:21talking about micro trades right like we
- 00:23:23know our opponent has two phoenixes
- 00:23:25right here and so we know that anything
- 00:23:29that we place here now is going to run
- 00:23:31straight into these two phoenixes and
- 00:23:33get deleted right you got to think about
- 00:23:35these micr trades um and as it stands
- 00:23:38right now these sledgehammers are going
- 00:23:39to get decimated by these phoenixes
- 00:23:41right here just because of how we
- 00:23:43positioned them you
- 00:23:46know yeah which is going to sad
- 00:23:48happening right now
- 00:23:50actually and all of the sledg are dead
- 00:23:53already okay yeah it's a pit for lesson
- 00:23:56to learn but it is a a really really
- 00:23:58important one to learn uh super early on
- 00:24:01so I think instead of going mechanical
- 00:24:03rage in the sledgehammers next round by
- 00:24:05the
- 00:24:06way I actually feel like range
- 00:24:08enhancement might be worth a little bit
- 00:24:10more now I think what we really need is
- 00:24:12mechanical rage and range enhancement I
- 00:24:16think that that would help us out quite
- 00:24:17a
- 00:24:18bit um cuz the problem is we have so
- 00:24:21many sledgehammers now that are on the
- 00:24:23front line that they're just running in
- 00:24:25and dying too quickly and so if we were
- 00:24:28to only go mechanical rage on the
- 00:24:30sledges and give them even more movement
- 00:24:32speed I fear they just die even faster
- 00:24:35now that fortresses are on the field cuz
- 00:24:36fortresses are just going to one- shot
- 00:24:39sledgehammers and so we're in a pretty
- 00:24:41rough position to be trading here and
- 00:24:43honestly at around round uh round five
- 00:24:45round six uh sometimes round four if it
- 00:24:49happens a bit earlier in the game these
- 00:24:51are like the rounds where oh my God they
- 00:24:53all got stuck hitting a goddamn anty
- 00:24:55missile turret and so we actually take
- 00:24:57the win that round crazy oh my God okay
- 00:25:00before we get to that before we get to
- 00:25:01the unit selection um I want to talk a
- 00:25:03little bit about range right generally
- 00:25:07speaking you don't want to be going for
- 00:25:08any range upgrades unless it's on like
- 00:25:10something really Niche like uh
- 00:25:12aites on like round two or round three
- 00:25:15and your opponent's going like a lot of
- 00:25:16chaff early on and you just want to stay
- 00:25:18ahead um that can work but usually range
- 00:25:21enhancements upgrades you generally only
- 00:25:24want to be going like round four round
- 00:25:26five round six something like that I
- 00:25:28think that just getting your formations
- 00:25:30organized and stuff first is the most
- 00:25:32important thing then you want to start
- 00:25:34using range to stop your guys moving at
- 00:25:38a certain spot okay range isn't so that
- 00:25:41you can do more damage right that's like
- 00:25:43a big misconception that new players
- 00:25:44have or if my tanks have more range then
- 00:25:48they'll start shooting quicker and so
- 00:25:49I'll do more damage no no no that's not
- 00:25:51the reason that you go ringe right the
- 00:25:53reason that you go ringe is so the
- 00:25:55sledgehammers stop moving sooner so so
- 00:25:57they stop moving here instead of pushing
- 00:26:00all the way into here and dying to the
- 00:26:02to the Fortress and the phoenixes right
- 00:26:04so I think what you'd want to do now is
- 00:26:07range enhancement on the sledgehammers
- 00:26:09so that they are not pushing in to the
- 00:26:12fortresses right the fortresses being on
- 00:26:14the field is terrifying okay these
- 00:26:16sledgehammers are food for the
- 00:26:18fortresses man the fortresses and the
- 00:26:20phoenixes will absolutely clap these
- 00:26:23sledges because they have no chaff
- 00:26:24protecting them and because they're
- 00:26:26pushing in too quickly so I what I be
- 00:26:29doing this round mechanical Ridge rid
- 00:26:32enhancement on the sledges I think I
- 00:26:34probably go like crawlers crawlers and
- 00:26:38maybe even crawlers here as well or
- 00:26:39maybe like Crawlers on the back here or
- 00:26:41something like that we really really
- 00:26:42need to get this second wave of chaff up
- 00:26:44and running um it's going to do a hell
- 00:26:47of a lot for us and the thing is we
- 00:26:49might even lose this next round anyway
- 00:26:51because if he just goes a hell of a lot
- 00:26:53of fortresses now the sledgehammers are
- 00:26:55not going to be doing enough damage to
- 00:26:56actually kill the Fortress resses it's
- 00:26:58it's not going to work out that great
- 00:26:59for us but I still feel like we need to
- 00:27:02we need to we need to organize this it's
- 00:27:05fine to lose one round if you are
- 00:27:08playing the long game right we've got
- 00:27:10some health that we can lose here it's
- 00:27:12fine we can lose some health to uh fix
- 00:27:15some of the structural problems with our
- 00:27:16army for one round that's totally fine
- 00:27:19to do um and what we really really need
- 00:27:21is these sledgehammers to just not be
- 00:27:22running in and dying and I think that
- 00:27:24the range enhancement plus some extra
- 00:27:26chaff would do a lot for us here
- 00:27:29so we have opted into in the unit
- 00:27:32selection a couple of melting points
- 00:27:34which I think is fine by the way our
- 00:27:36opponent goes into the Wasps now this is
- 00:27:39where like getting a read on the game is
- 00:27:41going to come in quite big we should be
- 00:27:42able to predict here I think that our
- 00:27:44opponent is probably going to go for the
- 00:27:46Wasps just because we only have fangs
- 00:27:48acting as anti-air
- 00:27:51right and so hm how would you actually
- 00:27:55address
- 00:27:56this
- 00:27:58there's a case to be made here for maybe
- 00:28:00just more F oh my God we got so many
- 00:28:02sledgehammers here oh God and they even
- 00:28:05more on the front line okay all right
- 00:28:07all right all right all right all
- 00:28:08right
- 00:28:11ouch
- 00:28:13okay this is this this is tough so it
- 00:28:16seems like we didn't have the read on
- 00:28:18our opponent going wasps which is going
- 00:28:20to happen obviously if you're learning
- 00:28:21the game right who the hell knows what
- 00:28:22your opponent's going to go when you're
- 00:28:23just
- 00:28:24learning um but the real ity is is that
- 00:28:28this wasp swarm is going to be very very
- 00:28:31difficult to deal with with our army
- 00:28:33right we don't have Mustangs um we're
- 00:28:35not really protecting the Ws very well
- 00:28:37which can deal with wasps but they have
- 00:28:39to be protected uh by shorter range
- 00:28:41units like
- 00:28:43crawlers and so these wasps are really
- 00:28:46just going to these wasps are going to
- 00:28:47be a real Menace we have a lot of high
- 00:28:49single Target anti-air damage but these
- 00:28:52wasps come in swarms man they're could
- 00:28:54be quite rough to deal with moreover the
- 00:28:57tanks on the front line I fear for them
- 00:29:01greatly cuz they are rather
- 00:29:04unprotected okay oh my God just had to
- 00:29:07answer a work message there real quick
- 00:29:08no problem okay let's see how these
- 00:29:09wasps actually get dealt with then so
- 00:29:11the Ws can deal with the Wasps decently
- 00:29:13but again they're not super protected so
- 00:29:15they get a good amount of wasps dead but
- 00:29:17they fall very very quickly after I
- 00:29:19think on both sides and while the
- 00:29:22melting points I see the logic behind
- 00:29:24these they're going to get held up a
- 00:29:26hell of a lot as well
- 00:29:27on the Wasps too just now taking out the
- 00:29:30last of the sledgehammers did they have
- 00:29:31time to drop these fortresses looks like
- 00:29:33they will on this side but not on the
- 00:29:35right side where they take something of
- 00:29:37an even trade and now storm callers
- 00:29:40versus
- 00:29:42nerds and this is where the maxman like
- 00:29:45I was talking about earlier the maxman
- 00:29:46can sometimes fall short in trades
- 00:29:49against storm callers but looks like we
- 00:29:51just have enough levels on the maximum
- 00:29:52that they actually manag to win out uh
- 00:29:54on this occasion it's not going to be
- 00:29:56the biggest win in the
- 00:30:01world
- 00:30:08okay all right speed
- 00:30:11specialist
- 00:30:13H don't think speed specialist is it
- 00:30:16we're not at that much of a range
- 00:30:17disadvantage anymore cuz we've invested
- 00:30:19so much into the maxman wow we go for
- 00:30:21elite crawler okay that's actually you
- 00:30:23know what I actually really like
- 00:30:26this I don't know if rain maker knows
- 00:30:29why it's really
- 00:30:31good but I think it is really good I
- 00:30:34think it's really really good when
- 00:30:35combined with mass recruit on the
- 00:30:36command center uh for one I think it's
- 00:30:40really really good if we just slam these
- 00:30:41crawlers right here wherever there's a
- 00:30:44gap maybe here and here and then some on
- 00:30:47the back line like we've been talking
- 00:30:49about and just get like three units
- 00:30:50placed in one round I think that would
- 00:30:52make an enormous enormous different uh
- 00:30:55difference these are rank five crawlers
- 00:30:56it's going to take take a while for even
- 00:30:58a level two arite to get these guys dead
- 00:31:01um it's going to make a massive massive
- 00:31:02difference it will also protect the hell
- 00:31:04out of these sledgehammers to get like
- 00:31:06crawlers here crawlers here some on the
- 00:31:08back and then next round even get down
- 00:31:10some here and some here and this is
- 00:31:12another tip that I should point out as
- 00:31:13well for newer players if you're going
- 00:31:15to be placing Crawlers on your backline
- 00:31:17a really really good place to start is
- 00:31:19placing crawlers in a vertical pattern
- 00:31:22right here so like a vertical formation
- 00:31:24just like this but place them behind the
- 00:31:26buildings like so why do you want to do
- 00:31:28this because then the Crawlers will
- 00:31:30split into two separate groups as they
- 00:31:34run past the building right so they
- 00:31:35start off here they split into two and
- 00:31:37what that does is spread them out a bit
- 00:31:39so suddenly they're more spread out and
- 00:31:42they're less vulnerable to things like
- 00:31:45um I don't know Vulcan fire to things
- 00:31:47like arite uh eoe attacks stuff like
- 00:31:51that you know it just makes them much
- 00:31:53much stickier and much much more
- 00:31:54annoying to kind of uh yeah to eoe down
- 00:31:59okay so we have the supply to do
- 00:32:01basically whatever we want here I still
- 00:32:03think that we really need to hit range
- 00:32:04on the sledgehammers by the way oh God
- 00:32:08okay so we go for quick reload on the
- 00:32:10max
- 00:32:12man all right all right all right but
- 00:32:15anyway this is why we reviewing this
- 00:32:16game you know this is why uh this this
- 00:32:18is why this game caught my eye I
- 00:32:21actually don't mind oh no I do mind this
- 00:32:24positioning I do because for some reason
- 00:32:27by the way red is not exploiting Sentry
- 00:32:30missiles at
- 00:32:31all we've only got like one oh no we
- 00:32:33have two Sentry turrets down okay okay
- 00:32:35okay I can shut the hell up about the
- 00:32:37centry missiles cuz we are actually
- 00:32:38protecting ourselves against these but I
- 00:32:40still feel like it's safer like we're
- 00:32:42not protected on this side you know our
- 00:32:45opponent could still displace the Sentry
- 00:32:46here and probably hit these tanks um but
- 00:32:49I'd rather we had the Crawlers in front
- 00:32:50and in front and then some crawlers
- 00:32:53behind and then some extra crawlers
- 00:32:55behind and then some extra cers behind
- 00:32:58you know having that constant stream of
- 00:33:00CHA that's going to keep the tanks alive
- 00:33:02is uh really really good also by the way
- 00:33:04it's really odd like G like if you're
- 00:33:07playing games like this way up to like
- 00:33:08round seven and you have like six units
- 00:33:11in this case eight units of
- 00:33:13sledgehammers on the field and you don't
- 00:33:15have any Tech picked up on the unit
- 00:33:19that's like a big red flag right it's a
- 00:33:21big red flag because honestly getting
- 00:33:23plus range and Mech Ridge on these
- 00:33:26sledgehammers
- 00:33:29because you're upgrading so many units
- 00:33:32with one button the amount of value that
- 00:33:35that has is just crazy right it's not
- 00:33:37even comparable to just upgrading like
- 00:33:39one or two units of sledgehammers you
- 00:33:40know you're talking about Mass upgrades
- 00:33:43on like eight packs of sledges man with
- 00:33:45a couple of tech upgrades on these
- 00:33:49guys so hey something to be aware of
- 00:33:52that's really something that we should
- 00:33:53have addressed in the mid game though
- 00:33:55you know it's not something that you
- 00:33:56want to be taking care of come like
- 00:33:58round eight round nine with a mid game
- 00:34:00unit like
- 00:34:01sledges uh because by then you can't
- 00:34:05afford to lose around you know like I
- 00:34:07talked about earlier sometimes it's okay
- 00:34:09to lose around if you're addressing a
- 00:34:11problem like a structural problem in
- 00:34:12your army like you're getting anti-air
- 00:34:15sorted or you are solidifying your chaff
- 00:34:18clear or you're upgrading your mid-range
- 00:34:21units like your tanks in this case it's
- 00:34:23fine to do that and lose around in the
- 00:34:25mid game sometimes okay like losing
- 00:34:28around is sometimes unavoidable and it's
- 00:34:31just sometimes okay to do like it's
- 00:34:32going to set you up to be in a better
- 00:34:34position in the late game
- 00:34:38right but now we have 1,300 Supply to
- 00:34:45spend okay so it's kind of funny it's
- 00:34:48quite evident at this point that our
- 00:34:49opponent is not going to
- 00:34:51place any Sentry missiles I guess he's
- 00:34:53just not going to do it and so we're
- 00:34:56just going for extra crawlers behind
- 00:34:58here now as well like normally this is
- 00:34:59really bad by the way like if you're
- 00:35:01placing units like this in a pack in
- 00:35:03like a very very tight
- 00:35:05package um and they don't have some kind
- 00:35:08of chaff in front of them protecting
- 00:35:11them then especially in the early game
- 00:35:13this is really really going to get you
- 00:35:14killed uh if your opponent places one
- 00:35:16missile here it's going to hit like
- 00:35:18everything in this pack which is just
- 00:35:20really really not good so we go ahead
- 00:35:23and borrow money here which I think is
- 00:35:26fine
- 00:35:27ooh but we spend that cash on attack
- 00:35:30enhancement rank
- 00:35:32two I think we spent that
- 00:35:35on okay so yeah man I think the biggest
- 00:35:38takeaways for this game to be honest I
- 00:35:40just build a well balanced army that can
- 00:35:43do a lot of different things in the
- 00:35:45first few rounds especially the first
- 00:35:47four rounds of the
- 00:35:49game um make sure you have a little bit
- 00:35:51of anti-air little bit of mid-range
- 00:35:53units you know two or three packs of
- 00:35:55Tanks or seel balls or something like
- 00:35:56that is totally
- 00:35:58fine make sure you have your chaff
- 00:36:00organized especially the backline chaff
- 00:36:03the chaff that's going to arrive a bit
- 00:36:04later to the fight and protect the
- 00:36:06sledgehammers in this phase of the
- 00:36:07battle right because right now all of
- 00:36:09the fangs are dead and so the
- 00:36:11sledgehammer going to be taking a lot of
- 00:36:12damage here and start to get picked off
- 00:36:14whereas imagine if we had late arriving
- 00:36:16crawlers running in here now like that
- 00:36:18would be causing so many problems you
- 00:36:20know that second line of chaff dude
- 00:36:23really really important to get used to
- 00:36:24uh getting down as a newer player
- 00:36:28we also talked a little bit
- 00:36:30about um not necessarily competing with
- 00:36:33your opponent for range if they have
- 00:36:35like a super long range sniper unit that
- 00:36:37they're relying on as like their core
- 00:36:39unit which in this case is AGA the storm
- 00:36:42callers and the phoenixes you can kind
- 00:36:44of counteract that by just going speed
- 00:36:47right you don't have to compete with
- 00:36:48them on Range if your arm is not set up
- 00:36:50for
- 00:36:51that you can just run in quickly and
- 00:36:54that sort of does the same job we still
- 00:36:57don't have any range enhancement on the
- 00:36:59sledges which is worrying me a little
- 00:37:01bit again this many
- 00:37:03sledgehammers like I feel like we should
- 00:37:06have got range and or mechanical range
- 00:37:08on these guys like three rounds ago you
- 00:37:10know
- 00:37:12ooh we're going to Elite recruit some
- 00:37:16stangs nice anti-air on the stangs so we
- 00:37:19should be placing the STS here and here
- 00:37:22right cuz remember what we said before
- 00:37:23these are to deal with the Wasps right
- 00:37:24and get rid of the Wasps nice and
- 00:37:25quickly we should really have these uh
- 00:37:29STS Place nice and oo they're really
- 00:37:31really far in look they really really
- 00:37:33pushed in I don't think we get punished
- 00:37:35for it on this occasion but they could
- 00:37:37be a little bit wider as well this is
- 00:37:39what we were talking about earlier right
- 00:37:41if you're buying a unit specifically to
- 00:37:43counter one of their units think about
- 00:37:45the movement speed of the WASP right and
- 00:37:47then think about the movement speed of
- 00:37:49The Stang and try and position your
- 00:37:51Stang so it's going to connect with the
- 00:37:54Wasps right these wasps are really
- 00:37:56really quick they're quicker than the
- 00:37:57Crawlers right and they're going to push
- 00:38:00in in front of these sledgehammers
- 00:38:02within a few seconds they're going to be
- 00:38:03at the front of the pack very very
- 00:38:05quickly there's only one other pack of
- 00:38:06crawlers here that's going to get in in
- 00:38:08front of them so if we place our
- 00:38:09Mustangs here right our Mustangs very
- 00:38:13very fast as well by the way 16 m per
- 00:38:15second movement speed if we play stangs
- 00:38:17here nice and far back nice and safe
- 00:38:20they're going to arrive in the middle at
- 00:38:22about the same time as the Wasps cuz the
- 00:38:24Wasps also have 16 m per second move
- 00:38:26speed
- 00:38:27you know what I'm saying so if you place
- 00:38:28the STS back here they're nice and safe
- 00:38:30and they will get to push in and trade
- 00:38:33perfectly into the wasps and get these
- 00:38:34guys dead so so efficiently nice we move
- 00:38:36them a little bit further back that's
- 00:38:38good they should be a little bit further
- 00:38:39over to the right though because the
- 00:38:40Wasps are very very on the right side
- 00:38:42you know what I'm saying so it's just
- 00:38:45thinking about that man thinking about
- 00:38:46units on like an individual trading
- 00:38:48level especially if you're buying a unit
- 00:38:51specifically to count to something uh
- 00:38:53that's on your opponent's side it's a
- 00:38:55really good way to think of it man
- 00:38:59so Red's actually doing something that
- 00:39:00we should be doing by the way what we
- 00:39:03should be doing is buying one pack of
- 00:39:04crawlers putting it right here and then
- 00:39:07using the Mobile Beacon to sort of
- 00:39:09Wiggle them around we'll talk about that
- 00:39:11a little bit after this round after we
- 00:39:14see how this plays out so the STS are
- 00:39:16about mixed in with the sledgehammers
- 00:39:18right now as you can see like they're
- 00:39:20really in the thick of it which is quite
- 00:39:22scary because if any of these missiles
- 00:39:23start to land we're going to lose some
- 00:39:25of the STS but they are getting the job
- 00:39:27done just about nice they do get most of
- 00:39:31the WASP dead which is good stuff they
- 00:39:34did get their job done which is fine
- 00:39:36could it have been smoother yeah it
- 00:39:38could it could have been quite a bit
- 00:39:39smoother but it's okay see the issue is
- 00:39:42now is that they're really in the mix
- 00:39:44with the sledgehammers which you don't
- 00:39:45really want right uh stangs are very
- 00:39:49very very fragile
- 00:39:51so okay oh we actually lose this round
- 00:39:54right oh no the building going down does
- 00:39:55that change things
- 00:39:57both buildings going down I don't know
- 00:39:58if we have the maximum to do this no we
- 00:40:00don't we do not
- 00:40:02man
- 00:40:05o
- 00:40:08okay let's see then let's see what
- 00:40:11options do we got here okay all right
- 00:40:14all right all right all right and so
- 00:40:16this is just the what the hell happened
- 00:40:18did people pick oh I just want to slow
- 00:40:21it down a lot so it doesn't skip whoa
- 00:40:24okay the UI is just is getting trippy on
- 00:40:27us but okay it's all right man it's a
- 00:40:28super slow motion so this is the kind of
- 00:40:30round where this is all just about
- 00:40:32trying to guess where your opponent's
- 00:40:33going to go um going the best thing to
- 00:40:37kill what your opponent has on board
- 00:40:39while also planning around what you
- 00:40:40think your opponent's going to pick it's
- 00:40:42honestly really really hard for me to
- 00:40:43give you any kind of vague uh broad
- 00:40:47advice in these later stage unit
- 00:40:49selection rounds um it's really really
- 00:40:51tough it's really really tough I would
- 00:40:53not suggest I guess going for for I mean
- 00:40:58the overlord would be fine the war
- 00:41:00Factory do something the war Factory
- 00:41:03could be the player
- 00:41:07maybe yeah I mean the only thing that we
- 00:41:09definitely not going to go is the Rhinos
- 00:41:11right I don't think either player should
- 00:41:12be going the Rhinos just because they
- 00:41:14have so many maxmen and melting points
- 00:41:16and stuff on either
- 00:41:18side so the Rhinos just don't really
- 00:41:20make any sense but the point I wanted to
- 00:41:22make I'm just going to see what see what
- 00:41:23people go with that I'm not going to try
- 00:41:24and predict that one because honestly
- 00:41:26Anything could happen in this game um
- 00:41:28but yeah what you want to be doing when
- 00:41:30you're up against so many storm callers
- 00:41:31like this actually our opponent has
- 00:41:32really invested in a lot of storm cers
- 00:41:34here really really so what you want to
- 00:41:37be doing is buying one pack of crawlers
- 00:41:39put them right here as blue and then
- 00:41:42just buy the Mobile Beacon from the
- 00:41:44research center and use it on your
- 00:41:46crawlers to move them back and forth
- 00:41:49just back and forth like this on the
- 00:41:50front line and what it's going to do
- 00:41:52it's going to get aggro on all of the
- 00:41:54storm callers and all of the storm
- 00:41:56crawlers will be shooting at one pack of
- 00:41:57crawlers which is going to give all of
- 00:41:59your guys time to push in right it's
- 00:42:02going to give all of your guys time to
- 00:42:03start making positive trads and the
- 00:42:05storm caller is going to waste the first
- 00:42:07you know 6 Seven 8 9 seconds of the
- 00:42:09battle shooting at one pack of wrigly
- 00:42:12crawlers that they can't quite hit you
- 00:42:13know it's just a nice little uh play
- 00:42:16that you can be making okay because our
- 00:42:18opponent has so many storm callers I
- 00:42:20actually feel like the war Factory here
- 00:42:22is definitely the best
- 00:42:24option um opponent actually goes for the
- 00:42:29overlords okay and we go for the steel
- 00:42:34balls all
- 00:42:35right so I think these steel
- 00:42:39balls now that I'm looking at it could
- 00:42:41actually be
- 00:42:43game-winning could actually be
- 00:42:45game-winning uh if we go mechanical
- 00:42:47division on these steel balls then they
- 00:42:48are all spawning Crawlers on death right
- 00:42:52our opponent has no good way of actually
- 00:42:54dealing with our crawlers right now so
- 00:42:56if we were to place backline crawlers
- 00:42:58like here and here or
- 00:43:00something and then go mechanical
- 00:43:02Division and honestly maybe even go like
- 00:43:05replicate or at least mechanical rage on
- 00:43:08the Crawlers I feel like we would just
- 00:43:10wash over our opponent really quite
- 00:43:13easily but
- 00:43:15hey that's the steel ball play the war
- 00:43:18Factory play would be all about anti-
- 00:43:20missiles
- 00:43:21right oh God you know I actually don't
- 00:43:23even know if we have any space to place
- 00:43:26a war Factory at this point that would
- 00:43:28be the next concern oh my
- 00:43:31God what is this
- 00:43:35flank
- 00:43:36okay yeah I don't think any of the steel
- 00:43:39balls are going to make it
- 00:43:41in I don't think any of them are going
- 00:43:43to make it in you got to understand that
- 00:43:44when you're flanking with units like
- 00:43:46this is another Heads Up For Beginners
- 00:43:49like another warning uh as your
- 00:43:51opponents are spawning in they have noex
- 00:43:54until they finish spawning in right so
- 00:43:56even if we were to go mechanical
- 00:43:57division on these steel
- 00:43:59balls um it wouldn't trigger right the
- 00:44:02effect actually wouldn't trigger until
- 00:44:03the units have spawned in we actually go
- 00:44:05for subaran Blitz on the Crawlers but no
- 00:44:09Mech division on the steel balls o which
- 00:44:13is like the only reason I could think of
- 00:44:14as to why we'd buy these but
- 00:44:17um yeah your units also take increase
- 00:44:20damage while they're spawning in on the
- 00:44:22flanks like this and as such yeah
- 00:44:26yeah only the stangs make it in none of
- 00:44:29the steel balls which is deeply deeply
- 00:44:32unfortunate they do have the positive
- 00:44:35impact of actually drawing the fire from
- 00:44:37the storm callers though which these
- 00:44:38storm callers did invest in incendiary
- 00:44:40bomb so there's a lot of fire on the
- 00:44:42field at this
- 00:44:44stage which is going to butcher most of
- 00:44:46our guys but the sledgehammers don't
- 00:44:48really care that much about fire on the
- 00:44:52ground but let's just see how it plays
- 00:44:55out okay
- 00:44:57okay little bit chaotic ending to the
- 00:45:01game which I think it's going to be the
- 00:45:02ending of the game anyway this might
- 00:45:03actually going for another round or two
- 00:45:06I think it
- 00:45:07will
- 00:45:10okay yeah whatever happens this actually
- 00:45:13goes on for another
- 00:45:17round okay did we pick it off as much as
- 00:45:20we can here it's going to come down to
- 00:45:21the maximum in the middle again I
- 00:45:23guess the soulle Survivor all that oh my
- 00:45:27God does he actually do this it's
- 00:45:29actually going to do
- 00:45:31it take that 100 damage dude all right
- 00:45:34man I love it I love it okay oh that's
- 00:45:37great okay rid specialist all right man
- 00:45:40okay so um yeah one thing I've got to
- 00:45:41draw attention to here man I have to do
- 00:45:43it I think that we've only picked up
- 00:45:45like three or four tchs for the entire
- 00:45:47game
- 00:45:49um and I'm astounded that we didn't buy
- 00:45:52any on the steel balls like we have to
- 00:45:54do it this round right obviously with
- 00:45:56the flanking players last round it
- 00:45:57didn't matter they all just died so
- 00:45:58quickly but we must go mechanical
- 00:46:00division on the steel balls in this next
- 00:46:03round there's really there's really no
- 00:46:07choice we must there it is okay nice we
- 00:46:10do actually go for Mech division that
- 00:46:11makes a lot of
- 00:46:13sense um also the sledgehammers are
- 00:46:16still they would benefit so much from
- 00:46:19upgrades right now just there so many of
- 00:46:21them we've got four of them that are
- 00:46:22ranked two
- 00:46:24already they benefit so much M from
- 00:46:26upgrades so I really really really hope
- 00:46:28that we see that I guess we're not going
- 00:46:29to get to see the backline chaf though I
- 00:46:32still think it would help us quite a lot
- 00:46:35um it's funny we actually accidentally
- 00:46:37went into a crawl attack I guess on the
- 00:46:39same round as our opponent went into the
- 00:46:42incendiary bomb we wented like the
- 00:46:43perfect crawl attack to uh help us live
- 00:46:47which is subre Blitz allows your
- 00:46:48crawlers to be strong enough especially
- 00:46:50at rank five to uh run through fire bit
- 00:46:53unreliable when they're still rank one
- 00:46:54but rank five they they are certainly
- 00:46:56strong enough now to run directly
- 00:46:58through storm caller
- 00:47:00Flames which means good times and in the
- 00:47:03end we actually go for field maintenance
- 00:47:05on the sledgehammers okay field
- 00:47:09maintenance you know it's not bad it's
- 00:47:11not bad I think it's
- 00:47:14okay yeah I I think it's actually
- 00:47:16fine the reason I think it's fine is
- 00:47:19because yeah our opponent's got a few
- 00:47:22units the Phoenix's the fortresses and I
- 00:47:25guess the overlords that can kill off
- 00:47:27the sledgehammer quite quickly but he
- 00:47:29also has a hell of a lot of storm
- 00:47:32callers and they take a long ass time to
- 00:47:34kill off sledges so this can actually
- 00:47:37work our opponent's going to fail
- 00:47:38miserably at flanking over
- 00:47:40there so that's
- 00:47:42fine steel balls they're exploding into
- 00:47:45extra crawlers now so they're going to
- 00:47:47buy a lot more time for us on this flank
- 00:47:48so that's good at
- 00:47:51least but with the field maintenance it
- 00:47:54makes us so that unless I opponent kind
- 00:47:56of one- shots the sledgehammers they're
- 00:47:58going to be much much tankier
- 00:48:01now regrettably I'm just going back a
- 00:48:04little bit I we managed to make it to
- 00:48:05the building so it's not too hard of a
- 00:48:07complaint but we did not actually push
- 00:48:10the high Mobility button and the
- 00:48:12enhanced range button on our building
- 00:48:13over here which again is one of the
- 00:48:14golden rules as a new player like you'll
- 00:48:17win so many more games just from that
- 00:48:19and lower M right as soon as it gets
- 00:48:21like round eight round nine you want to
- 00:48:23be pushing these two buttons on the
- 00:48:24command center every single round U just
- 00:48:27because you have so many Nerds on the
- 00:48:29field that any Buffs you can give them
- 00:48:32from your buildings it just worth so
- 00:48:35much more like it really really scales
- 00:48:37to a ridiculous
- 00:48:38degree hey maybe we'll push it in the
- 00:48:40next round man maybe we'll push it in
- 00:48:43the next
- 00:48:44round oh dude you know I'd actually go
- 00:48:46for Speed specialist here not going to
- 00:48:48lie
- 00:48:49man damn we go for incy bomb okay incy
- 00:48:53bomb you know it I mean it's fine we can
- 00:48:55like smack it on the side here I guess
- 00:48:57we're actually pulling a lot of his
- 00:48:58Crawlers on the backline over to this
- 00:49:00side so incer bomb here would kill his
- 00:49:02crawlers would kill these
- 00:49:03crawlers we could do a bit of that oh
- 00:49:05we're going for the greedy one I'd be
- 00:49:07quite worried of my opponent um playing
- 00:49:09around this and playing placing some
- 00:49:11barriers
- 00:49:12but okay might actually work
- 00:49:17out okay all
- 00:49:19right let's see how this goes so the
- 00:49:23reason that speed specialist become so
- 00:49:24Good by the way with an army like this
- 00:49:26is because honestly our army is quite
- 00:49:28slow uh our arm is quite slow we have
- 00:49:31not gone for like range upgrades that
- 00:49:33much on the maxman we're missing range
- 00:49:35enhancement so we are like we're quite
- 00:49:37badly outrange by this guy he's actually
- 00:49:39just gone into artillery scorpions as
- 00:49:41well um he has crazy range on the Storm
- 00:49:44callers crazy range on the uh Phoenix's
- 00:49:47okay so we actually go for range in the
- 00:49:49end and our maxman so it looks like
- 00:49:50we're going to try and beat him at his
- 00:49:51own game and win the range battle If
- 00:49:54This Were me I think I would would have
- 00:49:55picked speed
- 00:49:56specialist uh from the list of cards
- 00:49:59that we
- 00:50:00got probably gone mechanical Ridge and
- 00:50:03would definitely be pushing High
- 00:50:05mobility and enhanced range here and i'
- 00:50:07just go for The Rush him down before he
- 00:50:10can do anything strategy you know what
- 00:50:12I'm saying just get the tanks in there
- 00:50:15probably give them range enhancement as
- 00:50:16well to be fair and that would be my
- 00:50:19Strat because again if your opponent's
- 00:50:20outrange the crap out out of you you
- 00:50:24don't always you don't have to just get
- 00:50:25more range than him you can just go
- 00:50:27crazy move speed you
- 00:50:31know okay let's see
- 00:50:37man the javelin is going to slap the
- 00:50:39melting point but only a little bit
- 00:50:41doesn't do a whole
- 00:50:43lot I got to point out by the way the
- 00:50:45value of the cell on the wraiths this
- 00:50:48game I still think would have been fine
- 00:50:50this R hasn't actually hit anything for
- 00:50:52the entire game yet and then it gets one
- 00:50:54shoted you see
- 00:50:56that so this W was helping to kill off
- 00:50:59the Wasps on the back so it at least did
- 00:51:01a little bit of something you know but
- 00:51:03the other W like always always always be
- 00:51:06mindful of what stuff you can sell uh in
- 00:51:08the early rounds man it can make a huge
- 00:51:10huge huge
- 00:51:12difference but okay we're really leaning
- 00:51:15a lot on the maxman here the enhanced
- 00:51:17rangee might just be enough for this to
- 00:51:20work out in our favor but look how slow
- 00:51:22the sledgehammers are man this is the
- 00:51:24problem man in the later rounds right
- 00:51:26it's like you got this many
- 00:51:27sledgehammers but they're taking so long
- 00:51:30I mean they actually do eventually get
- 00:51:31the net down but they take so long to
- 00:51:34get anywhere and to do anything man
- 00:51:37right whereas if you got mechanical rage
- 00:51:40and you're hitting the high Mobility
- 00:51:41button on your command
- 00:51:43center then suddenly these guys are
- 00:51:45little race cars and it doesn't matter
- 00:51:47so much that they have like quite poor
- 00:51:48range right they're able to get in
- 00:51:50quickly and get the job done all right
- 00:51:52man so we covered a hell of a lot in
- 00:51:54this video we covered a hell of a lot
- 00:51:56man and I'm really really interested to
- 00:51:57see the comments on this one and see
- 00:51:58what other ideas you guys have you know
- 00:52:00more regular viewers any of y all who
- 00:52:02are you know on the grind who are I mean
- 00:52:05let's be real like 1K and up I feel like
- 00:52:07if you're under the 1K Mac you're
- 00:52:09probably newer to the game you're
- 00:52:11probably still trying to uh really get
- 00:52:13to grips with the fundamentals of the
- 00:52:14game because there is a hell of a lot to
- 00:52:15learn to be honest I feel like more
- 00:52:17people than would like to admit spend a
- 00:52:20lot of time when they first start
- 00:52:21playing uh just getting to grips with
- 00:52:23what each unit does the range the
- 00:52:26movement speed um and really getting
- 00:52:28into the numbers of every unit and what
- 00:52:29count do what and stuff like that and oh
- 00:52:31my God and then it just gets more and
- 00:52:33more complex from there with flanking
- 00:52:34players and unit aggro and all of the
- 00:52:36little tricks all the little tips and
- 00:52:37tricks which we didn't really get into
- 00:52:39in this one I tried to keep it quite
- 00:52:41Broad and uh yeah pain and Broad Strokes
- 00:52:44what a I don't know crash course for a
- 00:52:47new player might look like you know what
- 00:52:49I'm saying all right thanks for watching
- 00:52:51guys hope you did enjoy this one again
- 00:52:53interested to read the comments thanks
- 00:52:54so much men to Mr rain maker for
- 00:52:55subjecting himself to this critique uh
- 00:52:58for this video I think it's actually
- 00:52:59going to help a fair amount of people
- 00:53:00out or at least I hope so and I catch
- 00:53:02all of you guys just a tap it at man
