Alarak Co-op | StarCraft 2

[@chavsumalinog4035]

Hello there! I just started playing SC2 after a few years and I wanted to play coop since it's more chill than versus mode. I've found your guides entertaining and informative at the same time! I've binge watch them all just because I enjoyed your style of guides. Good job bro!

[@ToxicSpilll]

Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy StarCraft 2 Co-op again after all this time!

[@tankoboi6336]

This is pretty much what I do everytime I play alarak: A couple wrathwalkers and havocs A couple stalkers And a ton of supplicants so alarak becomes immortal

[@Tiporax]

"And even though yes, [Empower Me] has a very, very, VERY long cooldown and absolutely zero opportunity to reduce it whatsoever" Tyrant Ascendant: Am I a joke to you?

[@ToxicSpilll]

You know what... Fair point LOL!

[@WillFredward7167]

I find these videos so endearing. A newer player who usually doesn’t try to get fancy, but with such infectious enthusiasm and energy for the subject. A great intro for new players to get them as excited as you are.

[@johan528]

As a Alarak User, I'm glad that you make this video, It's really not bad

[@ToxicSpilll]

Thank you

[@Princeshakaku]

I appreciate you taking the time to do this. I just started playing coop and it's hard to find guides that aren't annoying. Most people out there are trying too hard to be funny or just don't plan what they're going to say so they keep losing their train of thought. This was easy to follow and very helpful. Do you ever live stream coop games?

[@ToxicSpilll]

I thank k you for watching and enjoying the videos, as it goes for the other part. I don't live stream my games, I don't have the time unfortunatly

[@kuyazergy1884]

Detectors, like Havocs, are underrated you say? Well, they are actually a must for Alarak's Army cause they are the only source of detection. Emphasis on Detection. Brutal really tests your skills in SC2. More Enemies in their attack waves, then they have burrow and invisible units, so always bring a detector...

[@ToxicSpilll]

Not for the detection side of them but there main use to increased damage taken by enemies

[@kuyazergy1884]

@@ToxicSpilll its up to you but we both know different people have different styles of gameplay.

[@jozan1313]

Ah alarak, currently my only hero with all 3 prest... cause i enjoyed him so much. Fast expand and a hero. Honestly, my issue was affordable anti air, until i got the ascendent ugrade, at which point i only made supplicants and ascendents with some havocs and warp prism for support. The ascendents are just crazy

[@ToxicSpilll]

They are stupidly broken, it's crazy. I know right! Too much Mirco managing for me, yet still powerful.

Bruh, how does this man not have 1 mil subs?

[@simpleman3898]

I love alarack. He's so over the top it's wonderful

[@simpleman3898]

He hilariously prideful but not entitled. He learned the magic, worked up the culture, and fought for the place of highlord. He swings around his title of highlord around everyone but he's earned it.

[@Shiny1083]

Love your videos on SC2 CO-OP! I'm surprised you don't give more love to the WraithWalkers! Long range, heavy damage, air and ground, and best of all they fire while moving (that you didn't mention)! You can actually get them out very quick, and just walking them in and out of the enemy base line you take out defenses then walking away mows down the enemy units coming to attack, even hybrids don't last long! Game on!

[@Ryner435]

I really like this commander, not the one that you would main, but one to play fairly often. 12:42 Oh boi, you're going to like Prestige 2, that 50% cd reduction on empower me is very fun, not the most powerfull prestige, but you can't go wrong with it. Death fleet is either to push into bases but his real use it to be your taxi, but as you may already know, structure overcharge is already super good. 13:03 I used have chrono mastery as well, but as you get used to Alarak, you actually want to use structure overcharge offensivelly for the early-game until you get your army, it really offsets the chrono as this is also your defense.

[@ToxicSpilll]

Lets be honest here, all of his troops are just a battery to charge Alarak's true power

[@Ryner435]

@@ToxicSpilll Not much for his mech units, but supplicants+ Ascendants tho, full ability spam.

"[P3 makes] death a little more frequent than normal" Proceeds to show gameplay footage of H&H's calldowns obliterating the enemy as P0 Alarak calls in the death fleet. EDIT: Typo

Very true. LOL

Alarak is so underated.

[@thekingnerd6639]

Of course you don't, it's not something the Daelaam would teach you.

[@na012364]

A buddy of mine and I wanted to test this with "Empower Me". He was Alarak and I was Swann I think (don't matter, all that mattered was we both could get a 200 population cap). So we both maxed out our armies to the full 200 and had Alarak do "Empower Me" in the middle of both of our armies. His damage went a little over 5000. It was insane and hilarious at the same time.

[@keinplan8247]

I'm currently leveling alarak and thanks to your Video I got a few ideas about my further strategies trank man

[@ToxicSpilll]

You are most welcome. I hope you enjoy the rest of the guides if you need them.

[@thatginger8897]

About ascendants. “They’re always going to be weak, and they’re always going to need protection”. Meanwhile 10 overwhelming stack ascendant with twice the hp of an ultra, and can wipe entire army by itself.

[@FBI-1987]

Good Lord, maxed out ascendant's mind blast ability is op as hell!!!!!

[@ToxicSpilll]

I know right!

[@markhu2966]

Great Guide! I haven't tried Alarak myself, I'm mostly Karax and Vorazun main, most random boys with Alarak I saw can deal on their own (they are mostly really aggressive on expanding and clearing missions too). When I'm Vorazun an Alarak is pretty good early defender so I can prep up my Dark Templars/Corsair or Mass Void ray combo if some missions ask for it. Btw I wanted to ask you on which Server do you play on?

[@ToxicSpilll]

Region: America

[@markhu2966]

@@ToxicSpilll Aww man, A shame I wanted to try out some games with ya, I'm from the Europe Server, whether or not sure you can play with others from different Regions haha.

And by that I mean you begin your Co-op from Lvl 1 with mastery lvl 0

[@PeterMcleod117]

Seeing those ascendants get absorbed is painful.

[@ToxicSpilll]

Yeah... not my proudest moments

[@Growlie]

At least he won’t die from myocarditis

[@WillFredward7167]

Alarak is such an enjoyable monster. He is so deeply evil, and as you said, the most entitled person in existence. And he absolutely loves it. He is so entertaining, so fun… and I am SO happy he doesn’t actually exist because he would enslave and sacrifice all of humanity…

[@johan528]

Alarak has three most powerful things:Ascendants , wrath walkers , and No cool down Alarak. so think you can talk about No cooldown Alarak (1qe2c)

[@wwinger1]

Thank you for your great effort in making this video, I really enjoyed it!! sadly the best strategy is somewhere in the middle of spamming ^^ it always depends what the enemy is Something you also could address is the enemies you get by picking each hero. For example if you play dehaka you get atleast 40% of the time air terrans XD Great video! Greetings from Germany

[@ToxicSpilll]

From Germany, WOW! O know that spamming is not a great strategy... at all. But to me as a casual player with an ape-like mind. It is the only one I am capable of using effectively. LOL

[@woodham334ify]

Whilst I had the brain deficiency of a special needs kid I didn't know what a unit composition was and supplicant spamming pretty much just allowed me to focus on alarak surviving forever and dealing all the damage as that is where most of the damage in his army comes from works pretty well on brutal even against tough enemy compositions

[@ToxicSpilll]

supplicats are surprisingly affordable despite them being protoss though

[@calvinedgington2020]

Mind blast is two op like if you're against Nova or tosh you can one shot them

[@isaacgraff8288]

Shadow of Death and Tyrant Ascendant are such broken Prestiges. It all depends on which ability you favor.

[@madhumenon]

You spelt "standards" wrong at 10:42

[@DeikRoschmann-bf1rj]

Alarak is MY commander. Like i thought maybe tychus who has a small but VERY effective army, or maybe dehaka aka godzilla wich cancels any further explanation. But oh boy then theres alarak where every button,in some way deals damage. Like bro his building OVERDRIVE gives the building a laser how tf???

[@DeathDragon5000]

Judging by how op and cocky Alarak is you can tell he smokes alot of terrazine

[@cheeeeeesewithbadmouseandk1044]

How to play coop Protoss: stalkers go brrrrrrrrr

[@MrWardonis]

This is wrong. Shadow of death is a completely different play style. You make 2 havocs, everything else is destroyers. 198 supply of destroyers en mass. I typically do 3 forges for upgrades and build an extra nexus so i can cronoboost all 3. I don't build any combat units except for the 2 havocs, ms, alarak and mass destroyers. Its very devastating to cover an enemy base in chain beams. Hate aoe air tho, its nasty

[@DisabledRat]

indepth commander strats series when?? :::))))

@@ToxicSpilll yeah the faults on me. Spamming units is usually the way to go

[@randomimperialguardsmanfor9342]

am i the only one who can't take alarak seriously because of his voice?

[@sintharius211]

Any particular reason why you're making guides on Hard difficulty?

[@ToxicSpilll]

Trying to make it understandable for new players as well, normally I would play on Brutal difficulty.

[@BotanicalCreature]

In hindsight, the unfortunte jokes about "antivaxxers" really did not age well.

Anti vax joke is pure cringe. This video is going to age poorly, more than it already has.
