1200 supply round 5 is the most insane FFA round win I've seen yet.

[@lukasbrophy6120]

Same, I can't believe he missed it lol

That moment where you think the player is a genius and then they pick up AM on lvl 5 Mustangs 😭

[@aHippieWithKnives]

This was me! I had a ton of fun watching you review this. I think im like 300 MMR or something, just messing around with a fun meme build, and to my surprise, i won!

[@TheosekMechanes]

You could add Mechanical Division to the steel balls, and crawler production from your melting point and they will share all the tech upgrades you bought for the crawlers.

[@1337billybob]

Really fun spam! Thematic builds are great to watch and fun to play.

[@BruteSparta]

Random note, I do enjoy when you do the "what if" replay of the final round. Just taking control and seeing if whatever idea you had would work. It's a fun look at the result of things like experience and knowledge changing the outcome potential, makes it clear sometimes that maybe you do and maybe you don't know what would work in the moment.

[@shortwave737]

What I wouldn't kill to get lobbies like this what in the heck. I have to work so hard for my crawler games and this guy just makes a giant block of crawlers and wins lol.

[@zerex8375]

It would be neat for some items that work for chaff units. Like a "Mechanical Division" item that lets crawlers fall out of units. So if you put them on a crawler, it doubles the number of crawlers that one pack has. Would be a bit strong, so might not be possible to balance properly.

[@Beneficiis]

Light ray (AA / Marksman / range upgrades) with sledge (repair/hp sharing/range) frontline - it did work for me once in low level FFA. Added couple sabertooths with CIWS once ppl started spamming rocket artillery. Light ray with AA melts most air, and sledge spam is not easy to kill by sniping it - well if they do that half of them blow up, but... it's often enough. If you are lucky with lootboxes and can get perm range/hp/speed updgrades it helps a lot. Thankfully nobody figured that best counter is melting ray in that game... if somebody did then high level melt could've just removed entire thing on it's own.

[@IIIJG52]

Actually, I once surprised someone with the lvl5 crawlers and the lower level armor item. Suddenly each crawler has like 2k HP ? Even unupgraded vulcans struggle.

[@LankyAssMofka]

Hahaha I did the same thing the other day with the 3 lvl 5 cards. I had two of them with haste module and the middle guy with the +80% HP armour

[@jocylinfrancis930]

Crawlers look kinda like corn kernels. Does Cob like corn on the cob? The real questions

[@ainumahtar]

I won an FFA last week with 2x Melting point both w laser sights, multitarget, life steal, range, em missiles and crawler production, think 1 was 7 and the other lvl 8 at the end, not a single raid boss but certainly had a strong raid boss feel

[@arcon980]

I agree, would love some more items. Especially ones that are best on small or mid size units. I think we should add a new type of item that only work on chaff units. The buffs shouldn't be that strong but you get 2 or 3 copies of the item when you buy it so that you can put it on 2 or 3 packs. As it stands I feel like I am wasting an item if I put it on anything less than a giant unit, that's especially true for the items that give HP based on your current HP.

[@TheLightLOD]

That item you suggested, how about it being a "size inverter". When a unit has a lot of small models (Crawler, Fang, Wasp) they become a unit of a few (3-4) larger models. Conversely when it's a larger unit (Fortress, Scorpion, Rhino) they split into smaller fang sized models. Just keep the total health and damage output the same and it should be reasonable for balance, though any creates units upgrade would then have to also get split over the smaller models (Overlord producing 4 => 4* mini overlord producing 1).

[@Zaamos]

Do you have any e-mail for sending replays as well? ive got plenty game that would give you and your viewers fun, i play mainly crazy builds, even at higher mmr

[@chaotixthefox]

Poo won 3-4 rounds.

[@BarefootCM]

And was the only one able to fight both the ai and other players. As soon as red took the focus they crumpled

[@ericstacey7811]

Ngl, I think the item idea you had could be good with some tweaking, but they really do need more items. There are only a couple and they're only really good for a handful of units.
