Phantom ray is so GOOD

[@oioioipoloi]

Surrey thank you for all the uploads, you are very integrated in my life, thats how much I enjoy these.

[@SurreyEZ]

glad you enjoy them!

[@thedarkrealm6403]

Same here. Much praise to our Rat

Dang, smoke AND oil at the same time and place is a new level of evil.

phantoms slowly becoming meta the more people get to know them

[@EricDMMiller]

They're flying Sledgehammers that can attack air and ground.

[@PropheticShadeZ]

​@EricDMMiller i think they are better because they bypass the need for chaff The stealth upgrade should not up their damage without some downside like reduced range

[@sidders1943]

@@PropheticShadeZ Not sure this is true, if you don't have chaff/a bunch of chaff clear your rays tend to get stuck on crawlers etc and then don't restealth very much

[@Zedpade]

Cloak and the barrage upgrade, inbetween reloads they go cloaked/invincible, pretty nuts

[@Shimmiy]

@@EricDMMiller i use them in so many games and people mindlessly see air and click the mustang button only to get crushed when armor techs on phantoms

Thanks for the video! I have a question about the first unit drop in the first game; is there a reason you weren't considering the wasps at 6:10? I thought they looked quite good at mucking up the phoenixes, which were the only threat to your phantom rays at the time. (is the idea that you wanted the rays to fulfill a tankier role for the army or it being too easy to deal with a small amount of wasps/low impact play compared to the other options? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!)

[@SurreyEZ]

the game is looking very good for building multiple phantom rays. He is not gonna pick the marksmen since he is already into phoenix. So the best counter what he can build against what im planning to do is boats. I have zero single target damage and the marksmen give that and they are excellent against boats which is my primary threat. The wasps are not a good long term solution and I feel like I am in a very dominant position in the game so I can just play safe and eventually win

[@aa01blue38]

the phantom rays were doing no damage, until they were

[@JohnDS11]

Why do you use the mobile beacon so many times at different units and finally tkae the crawler in the left corner like all rounds before? Only because you thought about using differently or is there some benefit?

[@krycke]

This annoys me a lot 😅

[@jox7432]

So i got two questions: 1. What is it with the symmetrical push? Some time ago it was meta to push one sided with the balls, resulting in way better first rounds. Why is every1 pushing both sides now? I am prolly biased, after seeing the defenders win here 😅 2. 2nd game round 4: why did you tech suck on the balls before there were even tanky units on the board? I did not understand that at all. Thank you for the video 😊

[@SurreyEZ]

1. oil, i would push same side vs sledges though 2. lev2+photon coating, the tech gives health. He always has something like arclights saber farseer etc

[@jox7432]

@ thats super helpful, thank you sir 😊

[@eevirawr844]

I've always wondered, why do you drag the beacon out multiple times on other units first before actually setting it down for real?

[@cristiandavid5776]

You can check out his Mobile Beacon guide video for the longer explanation. Basically, it faces the crawlers forward so they won't move to the side to attack the flanking enemy crawlers when the turn starts.

[@antares3030]

it's a glitch abuse

[@apricotscrub]

Does it work for vulcans to not launch their flames bombs on the flanks and instead go forward​@@cristiandavid5776

[@flashnimi]

@@antares3030 its only a glitch because you dont like it, once you use it it becomes a feature lol

[@antares3030]

@@flashnimi no it's a glitch by definition it's only "a feature" because you like abusing it didn't rat post it himself, the video where lead dev watches his vod and asks why's he doing that "feature" def a feature brother, keep coping

[@Masao_ours]

Just 2 words : AM Stangs Especially round 8 behind rhinos.

[@sidders1943]

AM stangs went from being worthless to kinda busted in a single patch

[@BobbyJohnson-n4u]

Idk if they have armor. I feel It just ends in a tie unless you have another unit to actually kill them. Which puts you behind on deployments.

[@SurreyEZ]

u mean am stang vs phantom rays?

[@Masao_ours]

@@SurreyEZ yeap, it's really good against them. Especially if all the damage relies on the rays. Offcourse you need a phoenix/marksman/overlord/rays/etc. behind. A lot of players don't have the barrage on rays to counter the am, (but even in this case you're good because the reload time might just makes the opponent composition not working at all.)

[@SurreyEZ]

@@Masao_ours ok have to test it

[@PrinzMegahertz]

I'm curios - why do you count for three squares between your tower and the unit? I would have guessed 4 to later place giants?

[@SurreyEZ]

put rhino in front of fire badger

[@Cosmic_Fodder]

good to learn counters now.. lmao or know counters anyway.

[@EricDMMiller]

The Phantom Ray animations are ridiculous. They should not rock backwards from recoil.

[@antares3030]

why not?

[@aiugiamos3057]

@@antares3030 Rockets/missiles are recoilless

[@antares3030]

@@aiugiamos3057 yeah that would make sense, gotcha

[@flashnimi]

they are doing celebratory wiggles after firing, not recoiling

[@OmikronTitan]

It's probably there for gameplay purposes of really indicating that they're firing. Or maybe they fire the rockets and hold on to them for a second before releasing for some bizarre reason, haha. But yeah, I can totally understand your point.
