[EPIC] Level 10, 10, 8, Direct Strike 45+ minute game! - WC3

[@popeneiad7968]

New fear unlocked: Unholy Frenzy Mountain Giants

[@Bos187]

don't forget the bloodlust that was stacked on them :O

[@SyRose901]

Basically Tiny(DotA) with attack speed

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

uf kodo endurance bloodlust command aura war club roar mg. balanced rite? oh, with chain link and lightning shield too cause why not lmao

[@divayazdian8465]

They had every aura and blood lust and unholy frenzy and inner fire.... and thickened skin for any uncertainties 😅😅😅

[@belfastbelchan4039]

You can go to world editor, change it's attack swing time of 2 to 1 then add Frenzy and Berserk ability in it, then add a Level 3 Endurance, Bloodlust and Unholy Frenzy on top of it, it's a blast😂😂😂

[@JakobusMaximus]

I'd argue that impale is one of the best spells in the game. It can stun more units than any other spell, for a decent bit. Also hits squishy units in the back, unlike war stomp. I feel like mana on CL would be the best item choice possible, along with survivability.

[@lu2nam821]

Sounds reasonable enough

[@velrex8140]

The only problem with impale is that, though rarely, the cryptlord's ai can absolutely miss and land it on like, 2 skeletons or something, and Cryptlord NEEDS mana investment for it to be powerful, while some other heroes don't need much or any investment. That said, I agree. Impale is just shy of ultimate levels of power if landed perfectly, and can absolutely shift a game with a singular good impale, and unlike single target stuns, it just gets stronger as your opponent gets more and more units.

[@adamhall2288]

Tinker rockets were better, but it's been nerfed more than once in Direct Strike, IDK which is better now.

[@JakobusMaximus]

@@adamhall2288 Circumstance is king here, but I'd say that impale being able to hit the soft squishy archers and other backrow units gives it an edge on cluster rockets. It does a decent chunk of health off of them.

[@XUndergroundRap]

Impale is amazing

[@toddybam7924]

Just had a 70 Minute game with 3 lvl 10 Heros. That was crazy.

[@pandaspleease]

grubby dropping PHD level knowledge on virtuous synergies had me dying

[@purplefanta7142]

Do you think Mercenary units being added into the mix would add to the game? It feels like a handful of units are used on repeat, more variety might mix things up more. Maybe 1 to each tier or just mixed into the unit tables.

[@SilcoDoI]

Recently had a 58 minute game lol, they can take forever sometimes

[@lilithwollstonecraft5763]

I had an hour and 20 game where we spent 45 minutes getting pushed in and then out of nowhere just roll them all the way back for the win in like 3 waves Moral of the story is we were all bad but in like the same way

[@SilcoDoI]

@@lilithwollstonecraft5763 yeah, sometimes adding few specific units can change the game and get you that hard earned win

[@oguzcanoguz5977]

24:44 Well they were beating you just because of bloodlust and you massively undervalued it. You beat them because you already had a better army, but now with bloodlust.

[@rsullivan5083]

sometimes i tier 3 just for bloodlust, so good i was surprised how long he delayed it for

[@nix2455]

Would be nice if Archmage would stop casting hurricane on us

[@popeneiad7968]

That Crypt Lord Raid Boss was a joy to watch lol, wp to the Grubbstet

[@ZeroFate643]

The armor vs evasion math is wrong. Evasion is better at high armor due to diminishing (percentage EHP wise) returns on armor. For low armor heroes like STR they want the first Ring of Protection.

[@DW_7]

Just Had one of These this morning, was lvl 10 tc, lich Naga 6+ and 40 min pure epicness. Such an enjoyable and well made game

[@illfate757]

What else did player 1 have the options to make, because just making archers and huntress is nuts glad he eventually started making MGs

[@henne.0419]

What I like to do for the Crypt Lord to get tanky is to go spikes lvl1, then shop him a belt and max carapace asap. the extra armor from the passive is amazing.

[@REgamesplayer]

This is the only place where Grubby loves Crypt Lord.

[@skillzorz101]

Towards the end, the Crypt Lord was probably doing less damage altogether while he was summoning beetles. I know he had it off most of the time, but that thing was hitting like a truck.

[@guardianofthetoasters2323]

40:23 lol purple thought this was lotr

[@СергейПастухов-э2м]

That missclick cost 150 seconds of one goldmine

[@Rinkariteki]

why no draft mode? :o I wanna see the moment grubby discorvers draft mode! More addictive than heroin! xD

[@T1Squid]

"Now we get third hero" The Grubby lied as easily as he drew breath.

[@AspectPL]

Grubby from my experience it's much more efficient to buy a pendant of mana for non int heroes instead of 5/5 items like medallion. I'd suggest either evasion, pendant, ring, 3 belts or evasion, pendant, ring, 3 khadgars for Crypt Lord

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

@@AspectPL pendant of mana is cheaper but the 5/5 also give a bit of regeneration too

[@paulandreig.sahagun34]

​@@zachariastsampasidis8880True, atleast for Medallion it gives HP, DMG and Regen and Intelligence with Regen.

[@AspectPL]

@@zachariastsampasidis8880 With 1 pendant you only need regen if your hero will live through an entire sequence of 3 waves and if that's the case you're already winning. It gives massive mana gains for cheap.

[@Josuegurrola]

Great game!! That cryp lord KING was great

[@wtfskilz]

I won an hour and 15 minute game yesterday. I had 3 levels 10s. 2 of them were fully loaded and i barely had any space left.

[@TheJaybugg]

I started playing this today. I’m bad but love it. I love the critters named after you pro people

[@peterwackel8770]

is this the best autobattler for wc3? i also loved blood tournament, there is a lotr version and a w40k version

[@adamhall2288]

at the moment, yes

[@julianm.3376]

Awesome game, fun to watch, great decision to quickly get 3rd hero, from there on you guys won the upper hand

[@alexanderg9670]

I like calling the genre autochess after ancient Hearthstone Tavern Brawl minigame, before the Battlegrounds era

[@lolialf]

what a match, well played from both sides

[@bananatlw]

had bloodlusted inner fire and fairy fire for a wall of MGs before

[@Rxxul1]

I was scared when I saw the other upload thinking it wasn’t going to be Direct Strike💀

[@ВаскоАврамов]

Did you know that you can build your hero on top of your units And the second and third hero you can build them on top of firtst hero

[@NorthzYT]

There was a real problem throughout the game with the first Impale making the Gryphons overextend.

[@alcbaz]

Direct strike is awesome. Grubby do more of these pleaser

[@Novocane23]

There is no way to know if the third mine would have paid off - because if he had purchased it, then he would have had less power on his board - meaning the game may not have gone the same way.

[@attention_shopping]

AM and CL are such good heroes

[@Szleglucik]

Have you ever tried the castle fight game mode for WC 3 it's kinda similar to that one also really fun

[@MrMinner11]

Grubby do you live in the UK???

[@Jawbrah93]

Damn I just discovered this game mode because of this video. It is so addicting! Thank you so much! Any1 knows what happened with pudge wars? I loved that mode and its gone now, cant find any games with that.

[@Kalvis1]

Still exists and comes up once in a while

[@NorthzYT]

I too am a fan of striking directly.

[@thesustraveler]

22:18 evasion in warcraft 3 natively doesn't stack at all. Unless it was hardcoded to do so in this custom map (probably via a spellbook with hand-calc'd evasion values for a new ability for all possible evasion combos) then it won't stack here at all. Not additively, not multiplicatively, nothing at all.

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

1.5k KC 430k dmg is CRAZY! This one is for the bards for sure!

[@danieldinu4434]

I think Grubby will soon play even Custom Campaigns😂❤

[@Necroneer]

Sick game

[@kimidoriglove5761]

You should have even more gryphon late game. Their splash dmg are insane vs big army

[@tranedecoy]

When your unit composition is bad, you'd want a short game. ... Well how did that turn out?

[@sanche194]

Wow , what a game

[@EpicExpeditions889]

You needed to buy spell shield for CL, MK spells doing so much dmg

[@Chill-hl1pf]

Best game from u yet

[@nuudles982]

Can u play this in reforged graphics?

[@ivanivanov-nz7sb]

Grubby bullying war craft

[@filiplofgren8023]

This custom map doesnt work for me, after loading screen i just get sent to post-game stats:(

[@biigmonee]

Let’s be real devs gotta eat! I absolutely would not mind paying for skins to keep funding one of my favorite games of all time

[@KK-pt4rq]

that's the dopamine

[@aleksasekicki8181]

I don't get it how is Grubby playing 5.0.1 on w3C, when I am queuing it is 6.0.3 version

[@dawidtkocz8506]

ye, tanky cryptlord, i was shocked that u go scarabs instead W u find tht 21+/- :D

[@gippenrapsnak]

He plays random mode, in WC3 champions when i play its always draft? He plays on battlenet?

[@baraclude]

The hardest part of this game is noob allies.

[@alondite4322]

Storm hammers MVP

[@123denaro]

Fam, does direct strike have AI 1v1 option? I want to learn

[@aleksasekicki8181]

no AI dont work, just go in the game we all started as noobs.

[@MohamedIop]

what an epic game

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

also, armor first, then talisman

[@brunomatos4857]

Nice game Grubyyyy

[@SpaghettiNoob]

What a great game

[@attention_shopping]

big army mass upgrades

[@awesimo4684]

Has archers T1 I should go straight to T3, because the rest sucks Fancy T3 army gets wrecked by opponent's archers

[@TollmanVideoWorks]

can someone explain what the shade does plz?

[@staceygram5555]

Is invisible and sees invisible units.

[@averyanderson7411]

Since Shade is invisible he will go over mid lane without dying and get you and your mates money from having mid lane priority He also detects invisible units

[@MuhammadMuradinHalal]

Hey Grubby! I've been really enjoying the direct srike videos lately and have been thinking of trying it out myself since I'm one of the 10 or so delusional idiots who didn't ask for a refound when reforged came out. That beeing said, you have made some weird comments in the last few videos and I can't ignore them any longer. I don't know if you are just really bad at maths (I know that sounds really mean but please hear me out), or maybe this is a joke I'm not aware of, since I don't watch your streams, but you've been saying that controlling the middle is worth 6 mines worth of incomes, which I think is incorrect. From what I've seen in your videos controlling the middle part of the map only grants you 3 mines worth of income, since you aren't taking the money away from the enemy team. I'll try breaking it down below. If we want an analogy for this mechanic, I think it would be like two guys sitting down at a table with an apple in between them. If one of them grabs the apple, they now have 1 apple and the other guy has 0 apples. That is a difference of 1 apple, not 2. You have stated that since you are taking the mines away from the enemies they also lose out on the income, since the 6 mines difference. That is incorrect , because you are counting each of them twice. If this map worked the way you described it, the analogy would go like this: 2 dudes sitting at the table, each of them with 1 apple in front of them. If dude number 1 grabs the apple of dude number 2, then dude number 1 now has 2 apples, while dude number 2 has 0 apples. This IS a difference of two, however please note that this isnt how the mechanic actually works. If this is how the map worked you would go down to 90 gold per minute from 110 when you lose controll of middle. That would make your team's income 3x90=270 as opposed to your opponent's team of 3x110=330. This would make your statement correct (and would make the mechanic much more interesting imo), and would make your income appear red, as opposed to the neutral white. The real differnce betwee the two scenarios is the number of apples. In analogy number 1 there is exactly 1 apple up for grabs, aka the 10 gold per minute bonus that is literally sitting between you and the enemy team at the start of a mach. In the second scenario there are two apples that can be taken, each of them in possesion of one of teams at the start of the mach, which isn't the case here. In case this IS a joke and I'm just an unaware dumdum, than that would be really funny since I've already wasted 30 minutes writing out this bs instead of doing something productive. However if you really did miscalculate it all this time, then I WILL be going after you to AVENGE this BLATANT DISREGARD for basic mathematics. (love your vids, bye) ❤

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

[@unprejudice567]

Im super addicted to you playing direct strike, so much fun!

[@davidm2031]

Grubby minute 2 - my composition is very bad. I have no good units Grubby minute 47 - we won cuz i had a very good composition

[@bananatlw]

😂why not go str belt and armor and summons on nerub hero earlier so they tank for gryphs? need a balance of units tanky/damage/utility

[@just4memes409]

why is it you guys dont value auras? 20 mins into the game to get that blood rage

[@andrewf6167]

Now that was a sick game...smart hero choices in long run

[@DavidAguilar02]

1550 kills what the hell HAHAH

[@Frank_144]

This is painful to watch, you're just hardcarrying your team while they can't counter their waves

[@R5123]

Sick!!

[@davidm2031]

Grubby's micro has really fallen off.

[@skywalkerjohn8965]

What is this?

[@averyanderson7411]

Direct Strike custom map. It's an auto battler where the mixed (random unit) game mode is most popular. There is classic game mode where it's standard four races
