Atriox Advanced Leader Guide - Halo Wars 2

[@majesticturtle7037]

I saw this build in a tournament 3 years ago almirantae vs Admiration... admiration was a massive underdog and used this build to smoke the current champion (almirantae)

[@S1rL1am]

I remember that game 💪

[@michaelmatherne8142]

This is the most helpful video I have seen to date of not only how to play Atriox, the game in general. Loved the combination of playing against AI so you could slow the build down for this pleb to understand, as well as playing some actual higher level games to see how you react in real time. Thank you, excellent work!

[@S1rL1am]

This is the best comment this guide has ever received, not only how you complimented the video but your enthusiasm and the fact this has helped you. EDIT: Not sarcasm i just thought it would be cool to follow your format too :D

[@SJohn2x]

been loving these advanced guides since getting back into the game after a while off of it. super helpful... can’t wait to see some more leaders!

[@FNoelle124]

Please god do arbiter next, there’s like hardly any guides on him and the ones that are out there are from like when he first came out

[@isacdacomebac]

Still relevant :( no guides for him

[@Kingofsea7591]

Ah yes space harmbes revenge

[@S1rL1am]

Let me know in the comments below if you like the format i’m using for the Advanced Guides or if you would like to see more/less in the video’s. Currently i cover; 1. Leader Introduction 2. Leader Power orders description and when to/note to use 3. Slowed down build orders for the leader 4. Live Champ games putting it all in action

[@mamotalemankoe3775]

Yes. The style is good.

[@Indeficiency]

Close to perfect

[@chaospig222]

love it

[@zonapurplehaze7854]

how do u zoom out ur camera that far? i cant find it in settings

[@TheAOrolle]

No more of these??

[@michelemetelli]

Keep up the great work! Love this format.

[@thetexasnord7714]

Agreed

[@frankmcdonald6841]

These are great informational videos. Even being onyx most seasons and rank 99 I still learn things. By the way... you should make a video ranking every hero from last the first ( your opinion )

[@mamotalemankoe3775]

Thank so much for the upload. Could you do a Johnson advanced guide when you get the chance?

[@S1rL1am]

I plan to do all of the leaders

[@mamotalemankoe3775]

@@S1rL1am Thanks

[@thomasmcgraw8778]

Great guide. If there's one thing I would add it would be eradication has some really nasty combos so depending on your teammates leaders. Best example one time my buddy was playing Johnson and we did an emp erad combo in a choke and wiped 2 and a half armies and snowballed that into what was an unlikely win.

[@TheBarreraLifeStyle]

Helped me win a lot of games !! Luv u

[@iaction9157]

Thanks 🙏🏼 I need more rts hw2

[@aurockson2696]

That transition at 10-11min ish is rough thought I reset the video on accident

[@brouvelai]

Great video, I would recommend getting a pop filter is should help with your mic pops

[@ajourneysjournal1346]

“Forgot we had this base cause I’m a noob” lmao

[@S1rL1am]

Hey, we all make mistakes

[@a-goat2778]

The only times i use sprit drop is when I'm spamming non stop jpb's with mines and I need more to destroy a base

[@BloodDrenched-y6i]

Who is better overall? Atriox, Decimus, or Forge? Been trying to figure out the meta and those seem the most promising for me, i only have base leaders. I've seen Cutter does good too if you can harass a lot but I'm curious to what your opinion would be.

[@Sundrake9]

Liam how do you deal with people quick massing air ? I figure I should be scouting the move more but even then, switching into reavers or wolves is so power intensive you fall behind on power economy. I think either infantry needs to be buffed vs Air or Core air units need a power cost to them..

[@S1rL1am]

You have marines on T1 into combat Tech for UNSC and you should be scouting and easily shut down early numbers. Or with banished 1-2 early reavers completely shuts it down

[@kennyboi01]

Nothing beats cutter marine spam. Until they completely get unit countered. But then I have full pop of hornets to wipe his counter

[@TheShapingSickness]

I've been using atriox forever, and I never use fortifications, already tried it a couple times with mediocre results, I need to learn more, so a couple of questions. If you go forts then you're giving up building units at T1 right? You're just using the chosen and the starting grunts for map control, is that right? Also, what's the fastest T2 you can get? I saw that you upgraded your second Gen before T2, is that ok as well?

[@S1rL1am]

Always upgrade your 2nd Gen before T2. Games always go differently but you a relying on your Chosen Micro, bases being upgraded with cheap turrets and upgrading the turrets if necessary. Fort 1 and Plasma mines is more standard and allows for alot more aggression

[@TheShapingSickness]

@@S1rL1am gotcha, will try today. Thank you.

[@vicvega5452]

you can get fort first and still build units. in fact, you’ll find that was basically the main atriox strategy for 1v1s on smaller maps if you look at the older atriox guides. fort first, expo, chosen, double racks on the expo, then send chosen with a couple jpbs to destroy an inconvenient enemy mini or take out a generator

[@TheShapingSickness]

@@S1rL1am ok so I've tried it some more and been getting mixed results but feel more confident and today I beat a Jerome for the first time ever I think 😂 I'm thinking getting as many mini steals as possible before expanding is also important, right?

[@jaysonjaysan1399]

Can you use dying breath and then bulwark to heal the units befire the dying breath ends?

[@S1rL1am]

Yes, dying breath only activates upon death and keeps them alive for an extra 8 seconds

[@ghostlyblue5735]

Yes and no, if they already triggered dying breath they are dead but they fight for 8 seconds.

[@S1rL1am]

@@ghostlyblue5735 Yes, i mistook his comment as bulwurk them before dying breath activates not after they are already dead

[@MrShawnallen]

Maybe a Decimus advance guide?

[@AnimePigeon]

Hey :) How can you view Leaders and know there abilities? The game fails to explain this I feel or maybe in blind and don’t know where to look :)

[@S1rL1am]

Create a custom game as the leader you want to be and open the leader power menu

[@AnimePigeon]

@@S1rL1am any Leaders that resemble how the old Halo Wars 1 Brute Chieftain and Arbiter used to play? But disappointed that Brute Chieftain isn’t in Halo Wars 2 but then again, I’m not a Halo Fan - just a fan of Halo Wars :D

[@S1rL1am]

@@AnimePigeon not particularly. The game is completely different Atriox is Fun and strong and Yap Yap too

[@rotedbodylol]

How do you zoom the camera out so far?

[@danydady6851]

I got pushed and killed by an enemy colony at 2:30 once. He sent two goliaths at my base and I could not kill them quickly enough. Any tips to counter this?

[@ghostlyblue5735]

Grunts lots of grunts

do jerome next

Avoid Jerome he died with the nerf

[@user-ej1yx4rw3y]

S1r L1am aw man he’s my favorite leader

[@user-ej1yx4rw3y]

S1r L1am did the speed nerf to his leader really make him that bad now ?

[@S1rL1am]

•• Yeah, i loved Jerome too.

[@user-ej1yx4rw3y]

S1r L1am thanks for the info bro💯

[@Indeficiency]

I don’t wanna be the guy asking 45 Questions and ready 3 bible scriptures, but as I don’t have time to play HW2 consistently, is there any possible way you could dissect in a video (at that point in time/meta) who’s the best leaders and WHY the other leaders aren’t as good, etc; Jerome Nerf, Kinsano Hellcharge buff etc, like an up to date hero pool essentially, that would be SUPERRR helpful for someone like me to quickly watch so I’m not choosing the deadest hero and wondering why I’m trash 🤣

[@S1rL1am]

Check the halo wars guide in description. It has a tier list and tells you why they are ranked in that position

[@Indeficiency]

S1r L1am thanks for pointing that out! Very useful

[@riddleniss]

Htf did you get 2 TROX???!!!!!

[@coletrain411]

Local units

[@AllenCarrol-uq8sc]

Halo wars is the rts game for people not good enough to play an rts game that actually matters.

[@S1rL1am]

Well it is for console and controller players

[@Sundrake9]

Why are you here then? Your other RTS low on autist population?

[@TheShapingSickness]

Watch out everyone, at got a bad ass over here

[@Indeficiency]

So what game do you play that matters? Because I get paid to play Destiny 2, Modern:Warfare and Overwatch. “RTS that actually matters”, so I assume you’re getting paid correct?
