sleek pivot
Once it gets to the late game and someone gets their eco churning with like 10 t1 factories, and they can spam out enough fleas to blot out the earth.
How can this be countered? it seems they will find any gaps in your defenses, and most units simply cant fire fast enough to kill them all until they get overwhelmed. I've even seen experimentals die to flea spam.

one word-junos
zealous bronze
Juno for flea
its a t1 launcher in the t1 constructor (kills all radar/jammers and vehicle scouts)
for peewee and ak
you need stuff like sumo/welder
fiend works aswell
violet topaz
just have a 2 junos
zealous bronze
also amphib bomb
fiery orchid
just stagger the launches xD
you also need a countermeasure for the predictable pawn transition
having your own spam or flame/lightning turrets is decent

junoing lab prevents them from building flea?
fiery orchid
juno kills scouts/radar units/jammer units on a radius for a certain amount of time
pro tip: make 400 junos and kill their t2 metal makers
infinite range op

Juno them a bit, then they will switch to Pawns, make anti spam units like Sumos

not prevent
but make the player force resources into units that will do nothing

does juno damage mexes?
zealous bronze
juno does 1 damage to all units
except for radar/jammer/groundscout
which the juno instantly kills
fiery orchid
viable it is, practical, very rarely
sleek pivot
seems excessive unless the game goes for like more than an hour
fiery orchid
exactly, there have been cases
sleek pivot
one juno costs 700 metal
sleek pivot
better to build ragnarok?
zealous bronze
yes
but you need afus for taht
sleek pivot
you probably has afus anyways if your going to drop 70k metal on 100 junos
fiery orchid
c
zealous bronze
rag is probably cheaper to run than 100 juno
sleek pivot
not sure how much metal juno consumes to generate missiles
fiery orchid
sorry for the diversion
was just supposed to be a funny kip
hope you had the answer to your question
sleek pivot
it helped thank you lmao

late game spam is very powerful, fleas and scouts just juno but the light bots are strong
you need dedicated riot units supporting your main force, and preferably some T1 bots of your own
arm can bring out thors, razorbacks, and jaguars, all of which are decently fast enough to reposition to face T1 though can take some time to kill and can't just smash into it without micro - unless you are about even in metal. EMP bombers can also buy time if they hit a side of the map you're not on.
cor has pounders, which IMO are #1 cost for cost at killing pawns/grunts. Shivas do ok but need support, and juggernaut is decent. If you need a quick response force, fiends do okay.
fiery orchid
pounders are great, but they do not offer flexibility especially for the metal
for example you stop the swarm at a juncture but they can just run around or even if you mitigate their spam at late game pounders are not as useful as pawns to get into holes
the fact the cannons cannot shoot over each other and over wrecks just makes things worse

What do you suggest for cor then? I'm drawing blanks + main arm myself
fiery orchid
I like own spam

to add to the funnies, here's my suggestions to the actual best counters to late game spam

i'd wish that maybe lategame units had something more against mass spam options, but since it's cheap anyways, you will always get bad simspeed due to some players cpu not working that well super late game.
and people would spam purely for vision, even if it doesnt trade all that well.

stop telling people that bar is pay to win
we wont be able to fundraise enough for bar eventually if everyone starts investing into their own computers

Pounder/Janus spam ?
marble path
Janus ROF way too low. Pounder too slow, finicky around wrecks, clumsy with movement and teamkilling

Right

janus does more team killing than punder lol
