How to Play as Yap Yap - Beginners Guide for Halo Wars 2

[@brandonfernandez4952]

The y-ability of the heavy grunts also works on mechanical heroes, like ice cream truck and forge, and even against the hunter captain. The more you know.

@Kerbal Miles yeah the bison is nick named the Ice cream truck

[@Toniez0]

I usually runn them with 3 scarabs and they basically insta heal😂

[@justynkay6513]

YapYap literally took the Soviet WW2 tactic that if you throw enough people at the bullets eventually they'll run out of bullets

[@Void_Wars]

Soviet military casualties during WW2: 8-11 million Axis military casualties during the eastern front: 4-6 million Let’s be generous here and say the Soviet took a 2-1 kill ratio. But with a poor start to the war because they just industrialized 2 decades prior that’s no too bad. Kill this myth that the Soviets just threw men into the war. If anything the Germans defended Berlin with children and old men and women.

If you don't have a full pop of vet 2 cannon fodder on the enemy base in the first 5 minutes of the game you've never truly used Yap Yap

[@immex5694]

So many "guides" are just fast paced gameplay with no explanation. Thank you for making an ACTUAL guide to yapyap!

[@ghostlyswat12]

Yap yaps please dont kill me ability can be so powerful in the right situations stalling waiting for friends to arrive as well as just eating a max cannon or salvo to the face and take no damage

[@TheNepaliwarrior]

I thought leader abilities still do damage

The content on this channel is fantastic! My sons and I love watching. Halo Wars 2 is a family favorite.

[@TeamRespawn]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ifoundthesound1177]

If u wanna survive as yapyap online u need to start with mass choppers and don't build barracks until t2 at expo.

[@AwfulPoetry69]

Or… yknow… pick up 4 minis and sit on enemy gens with vet 3 fodder and triple GG in 180 seconds

[@adams13245]

I haven't played Halo Wars 2, but I love that CA made the Banished so different from the normal Covenant, probably one of the best examples being Yapyap himself. In baseline covenant society grunts are only cannon fodder and menial workers, they don't rise to positions of leadership. The banished however appear to be different, with Yapyap being a major military leader. Really shows how different the banished are.

[@BillyBob-rm7fr]

or its just a joke character used for a mass meta

[@UnknownLemming]

Or that yap yap just rebelled against the banished and is leading the grunts that followed him against both unsc and banished forces

[@the_seahawk22]

Dude is an amazing counter to hero units. Just surround a hero early on in the game and while u may not kill him. You will significantly delay him. I noticed that a strat people love to run is to get as many mini bases as possible early on then rush while the opponents are tryna get ground baxk

[@a.k.d.c.3573]

i main yapyap and im just watching this just because, but this is probably a good starter video forsure.

[@KingNez89]

I truly appreciate these videos they are so very helpful....thanks teamrespawn

[@dgd947a15fl]

I bet Yapyap is awesome for early game rushes. Don't even need to spend any resources to get a full pop of cannon fodder and just dump them at the enemies buildings as they produce.

[@chloemclean1383]

Thank you for these guides. Only started playing Halo Wars 2 a week ago and I suck lol

[@SpazBAS]

Dude, yapyap is so damn good lmao, I’ve won like 4 games in a row with the dude

[@bradleycavalier1311]

Love the content, love the series. Sargeant Major Johnson is my favorite, Oorah!! Can we get a Kinsono guide next

[@killer13324]

cannon fodder rush would be a good start to buy time to build economy since they're free units

Best leader...ever

[@LUNA-zw4uw]

I have one week playing as yap yap and i havent lose a fight he so good

[@Red-zn5oz]

Yap Yap is VERY hit or miss. If you're a beginner to RTS games, and don't understand the core element that makes Yap Yap truly shine, you're going to have a bad time. But, if you're at least decent at these kinds of games and understand how to pressure reliably, you'll understand why Yap Yap is a force of nature.

[@SavingSoulsMinistries]

What’s your prognosis 2 years later ?

[@Red-zn5oz]

@@SavingSoulsMinistries Yap Yap is overpowered. RTS victories are usually decided by the mid and late game, but as a Yap Yap leader, who needs that anyways? You can reliably deny the opposing team of a solid late game with constant pressure and annoying tactics, giving your team more than enough time to prepare for a strong attack. Yap Yap is the only leader who can pull this kind of strategy without any restrictions whatsoever, since his units are insanely cheap, but still strong. Every other leader who plans to stall the enemy are usually met with wasting resources and time, but Yap Yap can do this for practically nothing. I mean, just look at the video itself. The guy could've won the match easily within the first 9 minutes, which in Halo Wars 2 standards is insanely quick. Sure, he was fighting against a bot, but even if it wasn't, what could he have done? He was just starting to get his resources and bases prepped up but this dude already had all that, and more, within the first 8 minutes.

[@NinjaJeHova]

My favorite hero on hw2 .

[@jamisonvidulich1911]

Don't have halo wars 2 but imma still watch it

[@TheRavenofSin]

I like to play "paint the map" with Yap Yap. Send cannon fodder out EVERYWHERE (making heavy grunts at the same time of course). And then just get as many bases as possible. Then with each base just keep spamming out cannon fodder. While the enemy is busy dealing with EVERYTHING. I go for the gobbos. Then mostly ressupply my army with grunts from above.

[@melonboi927]

I accidentally won my first game with yap yap because I had like 6 cannon fodder and just threw them at the enemy base, he haven't built any terrorists or anyting and I guess he was going for an air assault so he only had a couple Marine units once I noticed I started producing heavy grunts and just send them all in Waves

[@colinburd6409]

I would give anything to fight Yap Yap in a normal Halo campaign

[@adelaidecruse2145]

how to play as yap yap step 1: rush step 2: win

[@cameronschultz519]

Yap Yap is my most successful leader according to the game.

[@jacobfaro9571]

I love doing fodder vs flood

[@brody0124]

when you get the “get back out there” and you have vet units would the units still be vet afterwards

[@NinjaJeHova]

Que up at least 35 pop of cannon foder go after every crate and garrison

[@twistedjaide4738]

i remember by buddy was playing this and he took down 2 scarabs with nothing but heavy grunts
