#

what this game needs is more ways to slow armies down to a crawl so stormcallers can shoot them

spark rain Nov 14, 2024, 9:20 AM

solid gazelle Nov 14, 2024, 9:21 AM

quiet oriole Nov 14, 2024, 9:21 AM

what does burst mode do

#

I like a stealth aircraft option but seeing oil in the upgrades enrages me immediately

spark rain Nov 14, 2024, 9:30 AM

#

it shoots 10 rockets per volley but shoots slower

#

idk what it mean

#

these might be broken with absorbtion module

#

stealth+barrage mode with absorbtion module means it full heals eveyr volley and then recloaks

quiet oriole Nov 14, 2024, 9:31 AM

pure parcel <@143135354851950592> why don't you have the mechabellum role

ngl I thought I already had it

#

Went and picked it up

wraith glen Nov 14, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

I can see it being a pain in 2v2s with mobile beacon, just put it on the inbetween flank and mobile beacon it the towards the other player once one of them counter it

clear heron Nov 14, 2024, 6:55 PM

#

went up an against an opponent who really likes the new unit

#

they were talking about how once their wall was set up the rays were unstoppable
and then learned that overlords are a pretty good counter to medium close-range air units

#

slightly more full-battlefield shot that might be too busy to be meaningful

wraith glen Nov 14, 2024, 7:02 PM

#

Gotta respect the commitment to the bit tho

sterile burrow Nov 14, 2024, 7:07 PM

#

The armor upgrade on a 200 cost air unit is very cool

#

That early most anti air is low damage so you can get some good value out of it

#

You can pair them with wasps to tank for them

#

The other obvious use for the new unit is steelball aggro

#

It functions a lot like a wraith in that scenario

#

just high enough range to not get targeted and helps with chaff clear

#

And unlike the wraith its fast enough to keep up

quiet oriole Nov 14, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

it does feel a bit like a middle point between wasp and wraith

bright parrot Nov 16, 2024, 12:26 PM

#

pre countering my stormcallers on round 1

sterile burrow Nov 19, 2024, 4:18 PM

#

I respect the dedication

#

personally I think the counter to stormcallers is to just get your own

#

(and make sure your units are at different range brackets so they don't get pelted together)

quiet oriole Nov 19, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

the distracto crawler can do a lot of work

#

I used to think that war factory AM was enough to deal with any amount of storms but I've since then learned that launcher overload overwhelms it

sterile burrow Nov 19, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

Oh yeah the crawler stuff is pretty useful but I think people try too hard to counter stormcallers

#

At least at my mmr range

wraith glen Nov 19, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

Its so easy to shutdown stormcallers now with the fact that 4 different types of units can take AM that investing a lot in stormcallers just results in you getting flattened eventually ime

sterile burrow Nov 19, 2024, 6:20 PM

#

romNod people just use level 1 stormcallers cause they're pretty efficient

quiet oriole Nov 19, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

I think non-war factory AM options lose their juice pretty fast

sterile burrow Nov 19, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

The newly buffed mustang AM is pretty strong now

#

But you need to be using mustangs as chaff for that to be worth it

#

Sabertooth AM is terrible except against typhoon missiles

#

Farseer AM is pretty okay but getting enough farseers to make it work is usually not worth it

#

I usually just match their stormcaller count and then make sure my ranks are seperate

clear heron Nov 19, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

i usually find the opposite for sabretooth and far seer effectiveness

#

to the point i took AMS off my far seer upgrades

quiet oriole Nov 19, 2024, 7:31 PM

#

saberteeth are much easier to mass

#

so that helps their case

#

I think if you build a lot of those you have other techs to click first though

clear heron Nov 19, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

I'm also way to attached to driveby far seer, which likes range and EM

my opponent put some fangs in front to counter my scorpion but i'm elite specialist and already had some fangs in front so i bought range on them and then bought even more of them

~~you can get it on like round 3 if you're giant specialist~~

#

(don't do this

#

)

median wraith Mar 18, 2025, 5:37 AM

#

if you happen to be playing like crawler+steel ball start and spread your starting units out a fair bit so they all run under the missiles instead of just the front ones that works pretty well

#

and I am really bad at playing not aggro, so mostly I just lose to stormcallers in standard

median wraith Mar 18, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

clear heron (don't do this

okay but like what if though

#

that's kind of awesome

quiet oriole Mar 18, 2025, 9:37 AM

#

the cheapest way is the distracto crawler

#

put one squad of crawlers on the line and mobile beacon it back and forth

#

it'll attract and dodge the first couple volleys which is usually enough time for everything else to connect

spark rain Mar 18, 2025, 5:51 PM

#

on early waves i find air units help a lot

#

something like range arclights with phoenixes deals with a lot of stormcaller including compositions by round 3

#

also if they die from one really bad round sometimes you just gotta buy like 10 antimissile buildings in a single round

#

i find sabertooth antimissile to be very solid

#

if you spam out like 6 sabertooth with antimissile it solves more than just one problem

wraith glen Mar 18, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

Does a sabertooth with antimissile counter 1 group of storms?

noble star Mar 18, 2025, 11:24 PM

#

I think roughly yes, but you kind of want 2+ sabertooths to get enough antimissile saturation to knock them all down. I do like that the sabertooths can keep shooting while knocking down missiles, unlike mustangs

#

Flanking steel balls or marksman with enough screen seem to work vs stormcallers

#

Or my beloved flanking wasps

bright parrot Mar 19, 2025, 12:04 AM

#

wraith glen Does a sabertooth with antimissile counter 1 group of storms?

An anti-missile sabertooth roughly counters a unit of stormcallers, and the sabertooth's AM guns are pretty sustainable for their relative cost and durability

Greetings, commanders! Update 1.4.0 is the first of two major updates of Season 3. This update will be carried out at 07:00 AM on April 3, 2025, UTC time.

quiet oriole I don't think it's as good as the war factory which is the main competition

What's the thoughts on the war factory? I haven't actually tried it because upkeep feels really painful, and I also don't think I've ever been beaten by one yet...

#

(Not that that's a ton of games, I'm sure I'm still in the newbie brackets)

quiet oriole Apr 6, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

it beats everything outside of melters in straight up fights while also being a huge pile of hp and being capable of producing its own chaff

#

you buy it when you have like 1-2 rounds to go

#

because then the upkeep is irrelevant

the steel balls and trantulas in my back were getting mobile beaconed to the side so that when my army recollapsed on the enemy i would have chaff clear and spider mines to distract their units

my ball of super marksmen sorta bumped into theirs

#

i ended up eeking out from the enhanced range command center upgrade and an advanced targetting system

along with the one melter who managed to get some em missiles off

Why fork over chain?

fallow vapor Apr 28, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

I am not extremely familiar with Raiden tech

#

I didn't know what chain did exactly

quiet oriole Apr 28, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

chain makes it jump again past the original target for 25% damage

#

usually quite good for catching out squishy high damage targets like marksmen and phoenixes

fallow vapor Apr 28, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

I see. The primary goal of the Raidens was to take out the steel balls

quiet oriole Apr 28, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

in your case you have a wall of your own marksmen though so I think fork's totally fine for clearing the front

#

yeah

#

I can see it

#

chain also gets really brutal with emp

#

turning off the backline techs is usually instant death

storm hatch Apr 28, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

I prefer chain because raidens don't move to max out fork shots, so some of the time they'll just zap two units instead of five. Meanwhile chain is pretty consistently six hits which lets it clear chaff a lot faster

#

Esp against relatively squishy stuff like hounds

#

Against balls fork might be better since they'll run into range but even then mechdiv is going to be a real pain not that your opponent took mechdiv

<@&1119755262992068658> hello its gaming time for the mineral rights (trust me it came to a guy on reddit in his dream)

median wraith May 11, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

I've been really interested in the unfolding mineral rights lore here and I went and scoured the client for any mention of mineral rights and no dice yet

#

maybe it's hidden in the tutorials but I didn't want to sit through all of those and it wasn't in the first one

clear heron May 11, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

the lore is that it came to someone on reddit in a dream, and then theyflower read that one comment in the sea of other hypothetical lore comments and latched onto it

median wraith May 11, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

but what if it's REAL

#

I want to believe

Maybe we have super good recycling tech, and they comb the battlefield with giant mecha-zambonis to gather up all the scrap

median wraith May 11, 2025, 4:42 PM

they just let out a pack of crawlers with duplicate at the end of the battle and then gather them all up

I feel like you've been a Wasp main

#

also I do hold that splash attack is really good, because it lets them beat mustangs

quiet oriole May 11, 2025, 5:42 PM

#

they beat mustangs like this already

#

as soon as the wasp can oneshot the stang they win and all you really need for that is ground spec

#

and rays + armour tank them indefinitely too. and it induces the opponent to buy fort AA which you can counter with the factory. it's all in the plan

#

storm hatch May 12, 2025, 6:44 AM

I don't think this holds vs range + AA spec since iirc you're working at a pretty nasty range disadvantage there

#

I want to know how those wasps got to level 9 though

#

even with intensive training level 9 at round 9 is.....a lot

quiet oriole May 12, 2025, 6:55 AM

#

sure you have a range disadvantage but there's always other stuff in the way first

#

unless things go very wrong they are not taking much or any shots before they can shoot back

#

especially with levels and elite marksman

storm hatch May 12, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

I guess with that many levels and ground spec it's harder to tank but you can absolutely get stangs to selectively target air units

#

Also interesting that your opponent went for emp phoenix

quiet oriole May 12, 2025, 5:08 PM

#

the emp was a last round attempt to try and shut down the AM war factory iirc

trying to think of when I'd want them

#

I could maybe see putting them behind tarantulas early rounds

storm hatch May 22, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

I think part of what makes hounds so good is that you explicitly don't want them all firing at the same target so them being five bodies instead of one arc is good

#

For eyes its the opposite where you want them all shooting at the same big thing

quiet oriole May 23, 2025, 4:20 AM

I've mostly been seeing people use them essentially as budget phoenixes via the air upgrade

median wraith May 23, 2025, 4:26 AM

tried them a bit since this afternoon and so far I'm pretty underwhelmed, though I also do prefer if they release a new (especially 100 cost) unit underpowered to overpowered

quiet oriole May 25, 2025, 2:59 PM

had an extremely comedic final round in this game

#

everything that's turned around facing the flank crawlers there? they:

walked at those crawlers and killed them,
kept walking to the crawlers all the way in the back and killed them, and
then aggro'd onto my underground threat which I put in between their towers

also slightly off screen there were 4 packs of level 3-4 wasps. because you know how it is.

storm hatch May 26, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

personally I think cost control is one of the strongest specs in the game because of how easily you can tech counters

#

11% can sting in certain cases (hounds vs crawlers) but being able to have just 50% more units is fantastic

man they have no idea what they're doing with the void eyes

spark rain Jun 6, 2025, 10:57 PM

now they will die AFTER all the random 95 range units

So theyre making it a discount sledge group? Or like wth are these changes

clear heron Jun 7, 2025, 12:24 AM

#

I think the base unit is trying to be to the marksman what the hounds are to the arclight

spark rain Jun 7, 2025, 3:42 AM

#

sure but spreading out your chaff clear damage lets you kill more chaff. Spreading out your single target kills three targets in the same time as killing them one at a time which means they all do damage for longer:(

quiet oriole Jun 7, 2025, 8:02 AM

#

they do a lot more dps than a marksman but their low range just gets them killed. so I sorta see the logic of giving them more hp, especially with their weird tank techs

quiet oriole Jun 8, 2025, 7:57 PM

#

me and tom tried a 2v2 tournament today

#

as it turns out the lobby automatically sorts you into advanced/intermediate/rookie groups

#

pretty neat

Developer's note: [Quick Cooldown] has too much influence on specific matchups. We have decided to temporarily remove this card and bring it back after finding a suitable balance solution for it. ```

no

#

vulkans have a tech where the shoot oil missiles

#

and another tech where they shoot fire missiles

#

so if you click both they create a big fire zone on the enemy board

#

and if your opponent does't have any reason to have the counters for it (you dont have storms, etc) then they might just get all their chaff incinerated

warcrime vulcans can be brutal yea

they are managable, but still

its in a radius around them

#

they are managable but sometimes the unit drop

leaden jacinth Jul 27, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

idr how large, 42 i think?

spark rain Jul 27, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

its pretty big

#

not too hard to have solid coverage

leaden jacinth Jul 27, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

yea, you need like 4 hounds if you are in aggro or like 6-7 in standard

#

so in case of aggro you can pretty much set yourself up good in one tunr

#

in standard its worse

scenic rock Jul 27, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

By aggro is it like a aggro vs turtle kinda build order thing or is it a tech

leaden jacinth Jul 27, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

aggro in mechabellum refers to aggresive on the line play, usually asymmetrical

#

so you have most units on one side, which is why you need less hounds, cause you have less ground to cover from fire

scenic rock Jul 27, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

That makes sense, though seems like it might need shield bubbles to ward off sentry missiles

leaden jacinth Jul 27, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

depends

#

early sentries are a trap for the person using them, unless you use them to preventetivly protect your flanks

#

later on its better to use AMDs rather then bubbles to protect from sentries

#

id love to play, but my damn laptop cant handle mechabellum

scenic rock Jul 27, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Oh, huh, didn't realize the AMDs shot them down, that's a good play

leaden jacinth Jul 27, 2025, 4:00 PM

so i have to wait untill im back at my pc

#

Marksmen seem kinda cool with the assault mode tech kinda like half a Sabertooth, anyone have good experience with them?

fallow vapor Jul 27, 2025, 11:03 PM

#

I think the idea is that it's useful as a tech switch

#

If your marksmen start getting countered by mass Sledgehammer or something

scenic rock Jul 27, 2025, 11:04 PM

#

Sledgehammers do seem pretty cool for busting Arclights

spark rain Jul 27, 2025, 11:46 PM

<@&1119755262992068658> anyone want to robots fighting?

yes

Are there good tips for late rounds (like 7+) because I tend to fall apart versus things like rank 5-7 enemy overlords or the nuke

scenic rock Jul 29, 2025, 3:02 AM

Good set of matches tonight, managed to somehow out do melting points and overlords with eight million Mustangs; anyone interested/around in duo queues tomorrow <t:1753830000:F>?

Oh like using the command center tech to recruit at a higher rank kind of situation to take advantage of Titan scaling?

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 1:21 PM

#

yeah

#

exactly that

#

people tend to pick the war factory for it because it's a huge slab of hp and the guns independently target, so it tends to not get stuck on things as badly

#

abyss with missiles is also a valid pick if your opponent has a nice big line of similarly ranged units like mustangs and scorpions

scenic rock Jul 29, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

I tried Mountain with the AA ammo a bit to try to compensate versus Raidens and it seemed neat; Raidens and Melting Points tend to be what I have trouble getting past right now since I can't seem to figure out how to win chaff wars without giant units

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 1:48 PM

#

things tend to go that way. the game is pretty tempo based at the moment, once some big units get some levels they can really run away with the game

#

if you're not clearing without giants I recommend building more tarantulas though

#

they're the premier chaff clear unit right now

you said "without giant units" but vulcan is really good for clearing chaff ofc

late arriving fangs are helpful, once you have some chaff that'll arrive early you want to keep feeding more chaff in

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

yeah late fangs, late steel balls, mass produced wasps or sledges, there's a bunch of ways to feed stuff into a melter in a way that occupies it in the most annoying way at the cheapest price for you

scenic rock Jul 29, 2025, 1:57 PM

#

median wraith you said "without giant units" but vulcan is really good for clearing chaff ofc ...

Oh oops that's what I meant, "can't clear without giant units" was supposed to mean "Vulcan with the range upgrade, my beloved"

#

Stormcallers with the fire missiles seem neat as a backline anti-chaff measure and Sandworms with Strike seem like an interesing option

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 2:02 PM

#

fire callers was very good for a long time but it's a big investment that's begging to get anti missiled out

scenic rock Jul 29, 2025, 2:03 PM

#

How do the fire missile hounds compare in practicality? The long range on their fire bomb seems pretty decent to keep them relevant later on

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 2:03 PM

#

worms can eat a lot of stuff in a pinch but if they're covered in crawlers the aforementioned melter has time to lock on

fire hounds are very good, cheaper to bring to the table and doesn't impair them otherwise the way the stormcallers get a range reduction for fire

#

for a while every second game was people doing fire hounds with oil bomb phantom rays

rank 4 and up crawlers are surprisingly buff yeah

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

but they patched something with shields a while back so that they were better at stopping oil and fire from spreading

scenic rock Jul 29, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

Would the bubble shields like on Fortress prevent oil/fire under it?

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

yep

#

if it impacts on the shield it doesn't aoe spread under it, which was the case before

scenic rock Jul 29, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

The other thing that's been tough to play around has been life leech items on a big body - do EMP rounds disable items or just the techs?

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

emp only disables tech

#

if you want to stop absorption module from working your only option is ignite

scenic rock Jul 29, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

I do like Ignite tech yeah; EMP has been pretty neat throwing it on Marksmen as debuffers

quiet oriole Jul 29, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

emp can be incredibly nasty yeah

spark rain Jul 29, 2025, 3:01 PM

#

i have bigger aoe and emp on my stormcallers its so nice it means if one missile gets through they all start to trickle in
