Free to Play Decks that will take you from Bronze to Tiberium League | C&C Rivals

[@Excoundrel]

A lot of people were asking me about decks they could use to climb ranks even at early levels - so i created three standard decks that you can use to climb all the way to Tiberium League! I used these on my C&C Rivals climb - have any questions just ask.

[@moonyfoxy876]

None of these decks can counter the titan and wolverine deck :/

[@Excoundrel]

@@moonyfoxy876 you miss the point of them, you win before they get wolverine titan on the field at all

[@moonyfoxy876]

What if they got double harvester? These deck isnt so good with harrassing them either

[@Excoundrel]

@@moonyfoxy876 yes it is - you win first missile then harass their harvesters. Are you tiberium?

[@moonyfoxy876]

@@Excoundrel Im diamond level 17, I have very low level units, if I scout and they already got a double harvester then it would be too late to build the war factory cause I have to wait till I get enough tiberium and they are already prepared

[@yitzchalfari2426]

Showing losses can be the best way to learn from the replays. A nice mix of wins/losses to see what went right and what went wrong.

[@MrSimonvk]

Was watching your video and paused it to try your GDI deck. Won 4 games in a row, good stuff

[@benjamindansart8680]

Hello from Belgium ! Thanks for your advices ! I was blocked since several days between Platinium 2 and 1 but today I was easily able to reach Diamand 2 ! On +-25 games , I did twice 10 wins in a row, even with low level units !

[@Staticphase]

Dude you are hilarious 😂 “you can trust the advice of ol excoundrel” another great video lots of info I needed. Didn’t even realize I was playing tech and picked up a lot of technique. Should push me into 💎. Thanks for the accept. -Sentient

[@dhammanunthd.4387]

Wow, the first and the last nod deck is almost the exact one I have been using, it carried me from platinum 3 to master league in like half a day, I discovered it because I don’t want to get into any kind of tech fight late game with my underlevelled tech units, it’s amazing how a simple addition of riflemen/militia can change you odds, for me they’re great not just for scouting, they can guarantee you a win in shockwave/flametroops fight by putting extra damages and help your steady stream of shock/flames into better spots, mowing down scarab spam as long as you get them into defensive position first, they can even deter jumpjet rush, two of these guys and good micro for your harvester and you can make jumpjet run around like headless chickens while you wait for your shockwave to come and shut down the attempts. From my experience they’re very useful for getting you the first missile. Say, Excoundrel, what do you think about swapping Lt.Strongarm for general Solomon? My strategy includes constantly hunting enemy harvester because I don’t want to see any of his tech units, sometimes that doesn’t work out and when my opponent brought out something like a titan that always put me in a bad spot, I choose Orca in place of Talon to just for that, but against Titan-Wolverines combo that doesn’t make it any easier, maybe I should invest my credit in a commander that can one shot tech units in the late game instead?

[@Excoundrel]

Solomon is a good tempo commander! :) He can help you kill off a big unit if they spawn one and can help you win the game from there. I prefer strongarm for early control or jackson because he's useful across the board! Solomon is 100% ok though!

[@ralphschraven339]

Absolutely amazing level of analysis and explanation. Deserves more views. Thanks for sharing your insights! 👍

[@Makibishi93]

Just started playing and the aggro GDI deck is mass amounts of fun. Thank you sir!

[@jonathonervin247]

I would love to watch you live! You're a great player to watch!

[@Excoundrel]

I'll try to stream soon!

[@13eetle13omber]

You blink five times every second... Once I noticed it I couldn't unseen it lol. Cool video regardless, I think i'm building my second harvester too soon.

[@chob6194]

Thank you so much I started climbing ranks so quickly with this

[@lineseeking]

I recommend sending mg squad in place of shocks but it leaves you vulnerable to cyborgs or zones

[@m0ck3ry]

I have been building wardogs/militants first of all so I can see if they're going to rush, then only build my harvester once I confirm they built one of their own. Charging the missile suuuper early and scouting at the cost of some tiberium income...

[@RelicOfTwo]

Bro first deck it was awesome

[@miekwavesoundlab]

I’m a bike rush master. I get out 2 bikes 60 cost ASAP and macro harass harvesters. By the time they got out 4 bazooka/laxer counter unites I got 2 flame tanks. While they struggle countering flame tank, I knock out 2-harvesters then bring out the big guns. 65% win loss ratio with strat, platinum

[@ralphschraven339]

This strategy may work until a certain point - as does any strategy that has a somewhat understandable idea behind it - but is by no means theoretically sound. The hardest counter to this is any deck that runs militia and bazookas, as you'll get scouted almost instantaneously. Also, since the bikes have to loop around entire squares covered by enemies rather than crossing through to territory behind them, they are easy to block off with any early unit and create an escape path for the harvester. Enjoy the wins while they last! Maybe we'll meet on the ladder soon, Plat 2 and going strong.

[@11oPolizei]

i actually play a Nod tech deck all the time, always tought that the normal units (scorpion, venom etc.) are not worth, maybe i should try them ;)

[@zulzmei]

few weeks ago flame tanks ware absurdly op. now they are down about 20-30% hp, down in speed, down dps ... unfortunately u never know witch way your deck will swing after next update.

[@Suiken44]

Good. People relying on OP units deserve to have their decks nerfed. If flame tank wasn't a crutch for them, they should still do fine. I bet most flame tank users were reliant on them though.

[@skyleranderson1984]

Using pretty much the same deck in the first replay, my opponent ended up rushing/responding with confessors(flames and lasers to accompany) which ended up killing me in the end, was the issue more situated in a matter of pressuring?

[@ProfessorTran]

Thanks for making this video. Great info!

[@dragonitaslavedon1745]

I made a deck myself and it ended up being the second one on this video, I feel intelligent now

[@azzamabdullah3469]

1:55 gdi deck 14:00 nod deck that he is using

[@youtubehero5462]

Are riflemen or militants really worth it considering their role is pretty much limited to scouting in the first seconds of the game? I mean they can be a great opener or first unit after harvester but to be honest I rarely use them after the first half of the first missile and they are still taking a slot in your deck that you can use for more mid/late game oriented unit? And if the answer is yes, which would be the best scouting unit for a GDI deck? I've reached master with f2p NOD aggro deck with a harvester laser squad opening 90% of my games since I run a buggy instead of militants and a banshee instead of the venom.

[@Excoundrel]

why would i want a mid/late game orientated unit when my goal is to win the first two missiles? - i personally think war dogs are the best GDI scouting unit but you unlock them at level 22 so didn't want to include them for new players

[@Excoundrel]

I also sometimes replace militants for banshee depending on what I feel like I'm facing a lot of the time. Militants and Rifles just got buffed too they are pretty decent

[@Callisto126]

Thanks for your videos, I’ve been using aggressive decks for a while now but when I mismanage my starting play, tech units punish me. Just wondering what the best counter for Rockworms are? I’ve been trying to use Orcas but they are slow to reload and micro intensive.

[@Excoundrel]

Honestly missile troopers are good at dealing with rock worms! Or laser troopers. Jump jets good too

[@rngkon-tiki5327]

Ahhhh so u supposed to win before they get out the titan!?

[@ethanbattermann7123]

Yup

[@greentea23ooga80]

Two great commanders you only need, strong arm and jade

[@doominspires2319]

Why is the first deck useless the zone trooper is a counter to it literally like two zone trooper is enough to destroy you if you use the first deck and even then the heli is way to weak to kill the shock troopers before they counter with something

[@rngkon-tiki5327]

Love it tyvm. I’m begging u for info on a unit counter list. Plz

[@TurboThunderGaming]

What would be the counter to Titans and Wolverines if now the opponent manages to get these out? I guess it's game over man.

[@dave4improv]

I was about to ask the same question! I always have scorpion tanks for the wolverines and banshees for the Titans. (Always aggro, here) I honestly don't know how to kill a titan when I am Nod without banshees or a higher unit like cyborgs. (I am level 30 so far)

[@ravijaiswal4327]

What you get when you reaches to tiberium league ?

[@mickschilder3633]

What do you think about titans vs zonetroopers?

[@fearthisgamerneed4gs-skysu485]

I'm stuck all my units are 8s some 9s playing vs lvl 13 units lol 😭

[@joebidome2404]

I can’t even play a normal game without having a player harvester rushing me or somehow using op tech units against me in the early game 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@cactussting2217]

Just asking is yt ur full time job?

[@caroltolbert1730]

How do i use the turret from Lt. Strongarm? I'm a new player.

[@iphonecharger4185]

Now one of the big reasons why this is op is because of its level. So....

[@NikosKatsikanis]

nice thx

[@TeaserTravlein]

What about sandstorms.....

[@Schimiter89]

Are those decks still viable even after Orca Bomber came out?

[@Excoundrel]

Yep 100%

[@diontemorris]

This needs an update lol especially after the recent update to shade/rb

[@That777GuyAgain]

That guy was baiting your flamers btw, start of third match.

[@Excoundrel]

Yep I said I misplayed the first missile

Damn titans wolverines etc....

[@mandokir]

By the way, it's, "oriented", not "orientated". I don't know why you're consistently inventing an extra syllable there, but it's wrong.

[@Excoundrel]

By the way orientated is British English and I am British :)

Words are hard

[@udflyerfan07]

The GDI aggro deck is crap...pure crap. It looses all the time.

[@ralphschraven339]

Perhaps it's not the deck, but the player responsible for making it lose* all the time?

[@ethanbattermann7123]

You have to play properly with aggro, it can be difficult but try watching Redox. He plays aggro and you will learn a thing or two.

[@adjienizam7541]

My advice is try to make your own deck instead of using someone else's deck but you can't use it
