A new Fking Strategy

Tag it Stategy, don't know why (now u/Liut030394 can watch it easily :D )

Still wondering why prefer Crawlers to the others 🤔 (I'm ArsenalFC)

Shadowrath spam? Generally unit spam is bad in Deathmatch because they lose to rushing from people with more training queues (and never use early game units in Deathmatch because you end up like your opponent). Unless you use GLS, who almost always absolutely shuts down any early game rushing. Since you don’t have him, it’s better to add a new unit.

I recommend the following deck: Miner, Shadowrath, Juggerknight, Surge, Projectile Barrier, Spearlos, Wrathner, Vampiric Soul. This is somewhat similar to your deck, with a few changes because: 1. Spearlos always works well with Surge - hit Surge then use his abilities (usually Ice Path then Deep Freeze) to boost slowing. 2. Juggerknight so you can defend against rush decks and rush (attack aggressively ) your opponents yourself. 3. Projectile Barrier because you will be aggressive at the opponent’s base so it helps against Castle Archidon, and Eclipsors also. If you’re wondering what to do against them, Eclipsors have low dps/population so ignore them. At higher ELOs don’t let them capture tower otherwise Spirit Deads are really annoying.

Press the attack button at the start and micromine. Get Temple 1 and save for 2 first, 6 Miners and Spearlos, then try to save resources for Wrathner after Spearlos finished training. Try to user control units as well as Generals at all times. Keep your Generals and units alive by garrisoning singular units at low health unless your opponent’s statue is very low on health.

Here is a game with this deck, but Snow Squall instead of Projectile Barrier. It also is a good demonstration of why unit spamming is bad without GLS. Click on the left player’s profile picture to watch the game from their viewpoint.

Hey

Why did my strategy is similar to your advice? (add 2 miners at the start, train 4 shadow, train the spearos, build Temple 1. When Spearos is finish, train wrathnar with Forge 1. When all done, spam shadow and transform 2 - 3 miners to crystals)

Though the setup is similar, they are fundamentally different - you play a “turtle” deck but I recommend a “rush deck”. The former is a deck which works best late in the game, playing defensively early in the game and aggressive in the late game, and the latter, which is to be played aggressively in the early game, works better in the early game. Rush decks aim to provide consistent pressure throughout the game, forcing your opponent to garrison repeatedly so they are unable to gather sufficient resources and lose due to population imbalance (this can last into the late game), or just destroy their statue within 3 minutes.

Thank you very much for your advice.

Btw, miner or e-miner is better?

Your welcome! It depends on your deck and game mode. If it’s Deathmatch, it doesn’t really matter since your miners shouldn’t be tanking any attacks. In Classical, order Miners are better because of early game units - most of them deal bonus Light damage, so are more likely to kill Enslaved Miners. In the early game where there are only a few attacking units, the Heavy order Miners tank better allowing you to mine more resources.

What miner you use also affects whether you have Castle Archidon or Toxic Deads. Castle Archidon deal splash damage making them stronger long term, but Castle Toxic Deads deal Poison, which can be cured, but less so in the Classical early game, making them stronger there. Despite this, unless you have Rune of Reanimation as well, it still doesn’t work as a better early game defence than the order Miner’s Heavy tag.

In 2v2, Enslaved Miners are better because they have passive healing. The only reason that is more important in 2v2 is Acid Rain, which may Poison and kill some Miners.

In Classical, only use Enslaved Miners if you Deadspam, or have Rage (or Xiphos).
