Starcraft II: Tychus Lone Wolf Revisited

Starcraft II Co-Op Mission: Part & Parcel
Tychus' Lone Wolf Prestige reduces the damage to outlaws and increases their damage as long as they are at least 9 distance from each other, at the cost of removing their final upgrades. To maximize this, I chose a map with little camps and objectives like Part & Parcel, and sent each outlaw on their own way around the map.
I unfortunately can't play that one 90's song because of copyright stuff.

When Tychus is in the Odin you can have an outlaw near it without losing the prestige bonus.

[@TheSlick44y]

Yep. This is important to know, so long as you are keeping an eye on the timer, you can have the two of them stacked. Once tychus falls out of the Odín though, the bonus will disappear as it will be two outlaws next to each other.

[@poatrykdas]

It's weird, sometimes it works, sometimes not

[@SeriousApache]

Yes, Odin doesn't count as outlaw. He doesn't block damage bonus for other outlaw, but also does not recieve bonus from being alone.

[@aquagrunty101]

@@SeriousApache Yes, he is an excellent method of tanking a huge amount of damage when something is attacking or being attacked by an outlaw that is poorly equipped for the enemy composition. Also if you are on top of your cooldowns and hotkeys, the second Odin goes away you can pickup either tychus or the other outlaw with the medivac to instantly give them back the damage done and damage reduction bonus. You don’t have to complete the medivac drop either to get the lone wolf bonuses, which means you can alternate who you pickup so the outlaw and tychus can take turns healing in a corner out of view.

[@brianthompson876]

Indeed, the micro gets insane when you try to control all the outlaws at once. That's why I pick at most two at a time and just place the others in convenient locations. You should get the damage upgrades as well. With 30% damage increase per outlaw, 5 outlaws, that's a total 150% damage increase which is the same as a x2.5 damage multiplier. That means the damage upgrades are eventually 2.5 times more effective!! Extra bit of trivia, units that Vega dominate actually get the same lone wolf buff, making heros out of dominated units!

[@cratty16]

what would you recommend for the masteries for tycus? for lone wolf?

[@brianthompson876]

@@cratty16 Shredder Grenade cool down seems to prove most useful for taking out cloaked units with no detection and erasing attack waves. Though Tychus attack speed gives Tychus an extra level of insane damage output, it's not as versitile. Tri-outlaw research improvement is also incredible since it increases all the Gun's attack speed with each research upgrade and thus yields more insane damage output by Tychus, maybe just put like 5-10 points into Outlaw Availability to reduce the time you have to wait to get the next outlaw but still leave time to save up resources too. Finally, I've found that the extra mobility from medivac cooldown mastery is often more useful than the Odin cooldown, especially with lone wolf where you constantly have to move heros around the map and the medivac provides almost all of your healing as well. Hope that helps :)

only use for odin is as an instant tychus revive

[@michaelchamberlin3182]

That was impressive. Well done CTG

[@Umbra_of_Emberspike]

Maximum of 437.5 Tychus DPS with all upgrades and appropriate masteries and 4 outlaws on the field. And he removes armor from enemies... Not to mention up to 2500 demolition charge damage from Crooked Sam.

[@devilpistons1269]

does tychus's ultimate gear have anti-synergy with lone wolf? how does the +20% dmg work without allies nearby?

[@deviancepurplehaze6045]

This PT is very powerful! Gotta get it myself.

[@dmitryhookins4654]

Its absolute best prestige IMO I ve just finished Night of the Dead before night 3. Insane power

Got that from spiffing brit?

[@ggrlmon]

I would also add that Sirius Sykes does a better job with turrets against the Hybrids, especially with the Thunderbolt Missiles upgrade. You don't really need Tychus there

[@danielsz3281]

That with an ally should be enough lul, specially if he supports with some medics or mend

[@turtlecoop5020]

Why don't use the maguro's coop map, If only play alone?

[@Gw2Zoke]

Wouldnt maximising getting more outlaws out be the best upgrade to any of the troops? 30 pct damage per additional dude, for all of your dudes... seems good.

[@quality8133]

yeah，getting heros out ASAP would be the best upgrade

[@Gw2Zoke]

@@quality8133 I’ve played a lot more lone wolf now, and... honestly... the damage is nice, but the real power is in the damage mitigation imo. It’s what let’s you split up, and I barely even notice the damage scaling through out the game, makes sense given the outlaws one shotted most things to begin with. honestly only sam and tychus really did all that well for general pushing/wave clearing. so upgrading them with their additional utility, mainly tychus’s grenade damage and armor shred, and sams air attack and fear, really helps them out. Every other hero was either two squishy for my abilities, or can’t deal with air units so they are also very difficult to use with the prestige as anything other than a buff for tychus and sam Then getting more of who ever you want for more damage if you want. The next thing I learned about the prestige is that there are plenty of situations where it is best to just group up your whole team, heavy final objectives and cloaked comps or mutators definitely gave solo outlaws a lot of trouble, but all 4-5 together take it out easily, and you can medivac tychus or sam out of the group to deal with waves, or split up after the initial push into the objective to get more damage.

[@quality8133]

@@Gw2Zoke warhund and tychus are definitely the most powerful two. Vega can manage on her own against sky toss or Terran ai. Nux is good for taking out attack waves. Reaper is always good to take down hybrids and objectives if u babaysit him. Since Odin is not an outlaw, having 2 heros with an Odin would be pretty sufficient IMO

[@janyuumi2774]

if the outlaws fight together, are they stronger that fighting alone?

[@benevolentmarinecat6926]

Dmg output wise in the early game, maybe. Tanky-wise, not even close: 50% dmg reduction before counting in armor is just stupid. Also, the raw dps of the whole squad means little when encountering attack waves as lone wolf tychus just deletes everything with a single nade...

[@janyuumi2774]

@@benevolentmarinecat6926 oh so if they're alone, the damage and damage reduction increases?

[@benevolentmarinecat6926]

@@janyuumi2774 That's the whole point of Lone Wolf prestige...

[@Gw2Zoke]

Depends, early game... no... split outlaws are way stronger. super late game, it can sometimes be either easier or “better” to push large enemy bases with your whole squad for a bit because even lone wolfs damage mitigation isn’t enough and your outlaws will need healing. Sense i’m only really able to use 2...3 tops... outlaws in seperate locations before i get overwhelmed, I pretty much always get nikira and rattlesnake, so pushing with them means I’ll take 0 losses and still have rediculous damage output because tychus.

[@archangeltan2077]

Calling it lone puppy is quite nice as the lone pup turns to wolf the more outlaws you start to have

[@heavystalin2419]

*_WOOF_*

[@spencerfellows4724]

Honestly ctg you hurt you overall damage by trying to mico too much especially on final boss. As well as missing key damage upgrades

[@johannesdolch]

This whole "make new commanders OP as hell, so people need to buy them and then nerf the shit out of them" scam is really sad. And for someone like me who just started, it is just sad, to see all the awesome threads on reddit and literally every time it turns out this is from days long past and has been nerfed into the ground.

[@CtG-Games]

I was fine with this. Starcraft 2 was still on life support then and Blizz needed a justification to keep making new commanders [AKA revenue], and most players would buy them regardless so it wasn't that impactful.

[@alexanderblinov8030]

Не совсем правильная игра на этом престиже. Нужно сначала максимум бандитов, а улучшения на втором месте

[@Basically_Anybody]

Who even uses Cannonball seriously?

[@marveliciouscombos]

As much as I love your content CTG, this was one of the poorest "Lone Wolf" performances I have ever seen--from weak decision making, bad control, to poor awareness.
