Are Wraiths OP Now? | Halo Wars 2 Mythbusters

[@benji3662]

Glad to see people are still putting out content for this game! it's really fun to go back and play every now and then

[@jaycejake7851]

I know it is pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online ?

[@lonesurvivor8828]

I'd love yo see mythbuster with Jackals. They're call anti-infantry but to what end? Can they 1v1 any other infantry? Can they defeat superior numbers? How outnumbered can they be and still pull off a victory?

[@WindrunnerB4]

Lone Survivor do you mean elite rangers?

[@Youtube_is_Trash]

I think the main difference is that splash damage is larger on the Wraith +their shields regen so taking splash damage is not a permanent ailments for them. Also, Scorpion seems to be more tightly packed than the wraith, which gives an other advantage to that covenant tank

[@TheRavenofSin]

Yeah, and I think with more micro, the scorpions could focus fire to deal with the wraiths faster.

[@Youtube_is_Trash]

@@TheRavenofSin yeah, that's always the superior tactic... Even when you watch pro players that's usually what they do lol they don't just let their high value units randomly shoot around xD

[@Yohasbing]

Wraiths have better splash damage too, so that’s why the tightly packed scorpion were losing, also, i know this is an old video, but no scorpion upgrades and wraith upgrades? I’m sure everyone would have loved to see that.

[@stevenmatelski6177]

Also depends on positioning of the units to most effectively use them. Wraiths can hit targets way further back in the army.

[@wastelesslearning1245]

Yes and from behind natural cover because that lob. Instead the scorpion requires Direct line of site. Plus wraiths have better economy and wraith clusters can form a sort of lobbing shield wall against the direct line of fire of a tank formations where the wraiths on the outside body block wile the many many more wraiths at the back to their lobbing to destroy the tank formation form back to front.

[@cfa44acepilot]

no scorch mortar and canister test?

[@Je0524]

Ask your mum

[@bcmm1880]

Nope 😂

[@chrisb5005]

It's cause the damn Scorpion drivers don't move around. Anyone who's played Halo 1 knows you can't just tank wraith shots. Plebs.

[@D34DM4NW47K1N6]

I'd hate to be the wraith in front of the pack that has to eat all those scorpion shells at once ._.

[@ghostmexi007]

Why skip the grizzlies or the mantis' test was it not needed or because those dont cout as true tanks?

[@PH03NIX96]

Grizzlies are more of a tank than Scorps will ever be. Forge 4 lyfe

[@shadesinsertlastname1631]

mantis replace warthogs

[@craigdrury3191]

He did a grizzly video calm down man

[@imtheknap6729]

You should test all the garrisonabke vehicles against each other (I.e, mastodon, phantom, and wraith invader)

[@gruby_0924]

i think isabells scorpion upgrade improved the main cannon fire rate aswell

[@Reina5342]

Should have done Decimus Wraiths vs Isabelle Scorpions.

[@WarAndFame]

you should include a cost comparison in the way that 2 marines is equal 2 3 grunts. both costing the same. thats a big factor for how many u can make

[@alexreyes7237]

Not really the cost difference isn’t large enough for it to really matter especially late game where the cost matters even less

[@H0RSEMAN0FDEATH]

What about grizzlies??? Do grizzlies make a difference???

[@alexreyes7237]

Grizzlies kinda suck they’re better than scorpions but not by much

[@Reina5342]

Grizzlies seem to do worse in army vs army and there are only 12 of them. 12 vs 20 is kinda onesided.

[@sergeantmarcusstackerM1903]

In both games, Grizzlies have heavier armor and do more splash damage. Scorpions do more direct damage

[@genericnameandgamertag7448]

Also little thing great about the wraiths is that banished leaders have several abilities that’s way better then the unsc for tanks the best ability for the scorpion best offense adds a shield which is easily beat out by boundless fury and syphon or the arbiters maxed out conduit ability

[@HiKyber]

I'm curious on july 23 for xbox you'll be able to play a "demo" for halo Infinite will you be doing a video on this?

[@TeamRespawn]

There’s no confirmation of any Infinite demo. If there is though, we will cover it!

[@CHFBeefs]

Man, the scorch mortar really kicks ass and I would bet 10 wraiths could take out 17 scorpions with it no problem...

[@Ender_Queen09]

Monkey tank vs human tank

[@kingsmanlad4147]

Isabel is being slept on

[@movieguyproductions4865]

Short answer: yes

[@Nitro_Zeus0]

8:01 You already test the Standard Wraith vs Standard Scorpion (both no upgrades and upgrades), why did you give the Scorpion more of an advantage? At least be Colony and give Wraiths Combat Repair and Vehicle Symbiotes.

[@Soulslayer612]

right?

[@1purehavoc]

Are large part of the wraith victory is the range. They shoot past the front line

[@xyro3633]

*"Holy Wraiths, Batman-"*

[@verdanteclipse4324]

Wraiths melt everything now with the scorch mortar, especially arbiter, decimus, and shipmaster wraiths

[@robertnelson9599]

I get Decimus and Voridus, but arbiter and shipmaster are normal.

[@Reina5342]

@@robertnelson9599 Arbiter's Wraiths get his buffs. But yea idk why they mentioned Shipmaster.

[@mikev.9297]

Video Game Addict He may be refering to the mass cloak, i guess.

[@UCG818]

@@Reina5342 Shipmaster's Wraiths: Longer range, faster speed and stealthy

[@CHFBeefs]

Nah, atriox wraiths and chosen w/ scorch mortar, ez dubs

[@Bubbaagaming]

Have you done blisterback vrs vultures

[@arturogonzalez4615]

you should test out production rate. like can you make more wraiths or scorpions in the same time frame?

[@zom6iecreeper166]

Banshees vs sentinal from isavel i think forgot. I don't play the sentinel unsc character much

[@parkercrouse3898]

I think it's a range advantage. It looks like not every scorpion is firing while every wraith is from a greater distance

[@hitman480channel8]

Also remember, wraiths can fire while running away. While scorpions, iirc cannot.

[@KattalystFr]

I'm pretty sure they can they just have to move their cannon facing the enemies.

[@alexandreparent82]

@@KattalystFr lol this guy didn't get power turret upgrade lol

[@pauldesilets6005]

Ghosts vs choppers!

[@loganthekrogan2182]

So when you fight Isabel use Hunters instead. I'm hesitant on using Banshees because it's not hard to pump Wolverines.

[@pauldesilets6005]

Elite led grunts vs brute led grunts

Wait a minute u forgot about the infusion wraiths voridus gets when he gets infusion tech 2

Vehicle symbiotes wraiths of colony against Isabel Scorpions?

[@Austism_]

I swear I've seen this before

[@TeamRespawn]

Cheddarful, even

[@gman2x]

Wraiths don't have the same LOS requirements as the scorpions. I never noticed until this video.

[@BevilDoo]

Iam surprised that yall are still making videos like this

[@Ghostx10]

Very well done 👏 gentlemen.

[@Je0524]

No u

[@itzjustkris7964]

Funny how in hw1 scorpions are unmatched tanks pretty much anyways wraiths are completely flawed they aren’t tanks technically their mobile artillery they lob slow moving plasma balls and it’s just so unmatched against the scorpions cannons wraiths need to be equipped with beam cannons idk why they aren’t

[@charlesdelafuente303]

ive got one, warthogs vs mastodons.

[@drsoda1718]

Scorpions got punch but wraiths have fire rate and better range. Question is now, which is faster if any?

[@UCG818]

Wraith is faster than Scorpion.

[@gamepire6649]

You said Best Defense when It's actually Best Offense

[@powerpenguin7546]

Me:sees team respawn video. Like button: oh heck

[@apacheco7030]

to quote a marine in halo take beats everything !

[@m.a.d.3812]

Scorch mortal and canister shell buff tanks themselfs? I thought they just added the Y ability

[@Reina5342]

Every upgrade gives an overall stat buff even if it doesn't mention one.

[@sergeantmarcusstackerM1903]

This was incredibly relevant in the original halo wars as well as veterancy

[@crosshair9907]

I really do think James drives the wraiths

[@TeamRespawn]

Absolutely!

[@NakamuraRTS]

Sorry guys, these tests are insanely bad. So many of the scorpions aren't shooting. Not seeing any Y abilities either. Yikes.

[@NakamuraRTS]

The wraiths mostly were played correctly - wide arc with all of them firing almost at all times. Hell, the scorpions were even getting bunched up, taking splash damage. This test will be way closer if the scorpion player controls the units at the same quality level as the wraith guy.

[@TeamRespawn]

Oof I was the wraith guy

[@BalfazaarSCO]

I can see why you did it the way you did but, Wraiths sat in the back without shooting in some tests but all the scorpion tanks where close enough to have a target. Try using a third player with Yap Yaps upgraded "Dont Shoot Me" then they can move together without ALL the scorpions ganging up on the first Wraith that comes into view

[@PH03NIX96]

Even control group micros could change the outcome. Too many tanks/wraiths hitting one target is overkill.

[@andrewmendez8322]

@@BalfazaarSCO I agree. This eliminates a variable that makes one side an "attacker" and the other "defender". This is important because not all of one side's forces(The attacker) are shooting because they are still moving in; whereas the defenders just sit there while the attacking forces come in making it easier for all defender forces to single out and therefore eliminate faster.

[@jackcuolo6]

In lamens terms no wraiths are not op cannon fodder remains the strongest unit

[@marios403]

Do you guys do private matches with KZbin viewers?

[@Traunt_]

What about with grizzlies

[@javierrosario6372]

Wdym now? There was a update ?

[@ceeway0127]

I think so

[@Thehouseburner]

Why even test a 1 v 1 if you start the wraith facing the wrong way, this way the wraith cannot take advantage of its longer range

[@victorycarr]

I think wraiths win because their coding doesnt allow them to stand as close to eachother as scorpions do
