Starcraft II: Alarak's NEW Death Fleet!

Starcraft II Co-Op Mission: Miner Evacuation
Alarak's Shadow of Death prestige allows him to call down the Mothership immediately at the cost of 400 minerals and gas. To maximize this talent, I rush out the Mothership immediately and use the Death Fleet to clean the map.

Ok so void ray Alarak is viable. Gotta level those 45 levels of him then.

[@thrudgelmir5494]

Already did it and it was worth it

[@user-hg3bv1uv6e]

This death fleet with 8-10 Ascendants can basically evaporate anything on the map, extremely fast. I love the new prestige rn

[@pashutaz]

Just death fleet already can evaporate all map

[@Photoloss]

Destroyers deal 1/1+1 vs Armored/1+2 vs Armored damage per pulse with their secondary beams which still suffer the full armour reduction too. Primary damage is 4+6 vs Armored at all charge levels. The attack pulses every 0.5s and benefits from Energizers ("time scale" effects like chronoboost) but does *not* inherently benefit from attack speed modifiers.

Shadow of Death basically gives you another Hero unit more or less

[@dodang_9147]

@@magnus9564 the fact you play all commanders at p3 is good testament to why you think Alaraks sucks. Honestly, I don't know what to say, but your just not very good at the game if you think Alarek is bottom tier commander. I will say though that he plays very different from all other commanders and his strengths are very unique compare to other commanders. A good Alarak player walks over objectives, Quite literally. Its kinda how people think Nova is a shit commander even though they are not able to properly maximize her strengths and only look at her weaknesses.

And Alarak gain 2 new units with this 😍😍

[@pingaspwnspiness]

Ascendants are still the most powerful option from my experience. Storms, seeker missiles, and viper clouds will evaporate your void rays. In my experience, if you have supplicants and alarak out front they'll suck up seeker missiles pretty well but the supplicants are usually close enough to the voids that they'll be caught in storms and the vipers will go out of their way to throw the clouds on them and there isn't all that much you can do about it unless you can pick out the one with the cloud and move it out before your units start taking hull damage. The voids are cheap to replace but you do have to wait for charges to build up on the mothership to warp them in so you won't be replacing them very quickly once you've used the initial 8 you start with. That being said, there's no reason to not have the prestige active once you have it. You're not losing anything worth noting from taking it so you can still do robo or ascendants just fine. The mothership can solo early objectives or clear out expansions on its own on those maps where you have enemies in them and if you rush it out you can have it well before the heroes come out. 400/400 is pretty expensive, but it takes up 0 supply and doesn't require any management. It's really hard to get the thing killed since it has 1000 hp and shields and it does a ton of damage. Even if you have the prestige active, you don't HAVE to go voids. You can just throw a mothership into whatever you happen to be doing.

[@xenno100]

the void ray bounces do 1 damage and don't scale with any upgrades. that said, you'd still do ~2 dps per void ray per secondary target (0.5 aspd). so while weak, it does stack up quickly. the problem is, you have to stack it a lot, which means you have to sacrifice balance in army compo to do it. great for going all-in on em, not so great for other purposes. also, they're void rays so AoE shreds em.

[@abyssalphoenix4541]

Does that mean there better than even prismatic alignment void rays. Combine Havoc range and damage. Along with the fact that they are aoe void rays. They seem insane levels of strong.

[@benevolentmarinecat6926]

They are not strong from dps standpoint, but taking into the consideration that summoning destroyers requires no separate tech tree, no dedicated production structure (you will always get mothership asap ) and cost 125/75, almost half the cost of vorazun void ray...yeah they are very cost efficient.

[@user-mg4ir5lk2v]

I don't think destroyer is strong though. The tactic of alarak is kite, it operates like that. Ascendant throw skillshots towards enemy and then whole army turn backwards, and use Alarak's E to keep a distance between the enemys. Once the skillshots (Ascendant and Alarak) can be used again, then repeat the step until the enemy dies. This standard build can kill the enemy very quickly, and nearly no risk( if you do it properly), only lose some supplicants. However, destroyer need to stand still and attack, which is opposite of Alarak's standard kite tactic. It can't be mixed into standard build. It is better to use Wrathwalker instead. All destroyer build is just F2A. It can't afford dying more than 5 destroyer in each fight, otherwise you will be even weaker in the next fight. It is afraid of Air AOE very much as well, such as Raven bomb. I mean, destroyer is not bad, its DPS is very high, but it is not as strong as the standard build. Once you have tried it about 5 times, you know why I think destroyer is not strong.
