Super Sniper Special Strategy - Mechabellum [1]

[@alexanderwatters9763]

I'd bet that one match from stream where you spammed Fangs against Kragh, would make a perfect example video for showing just how ridiculous even the low tier basic units can become if they are allowed to get over-levelled. XD

[@devindeocharan8323]

Oh goodness, yes, my friend. Throwing on an amp core upon a high level fang is wondrous sight to see

[@warlynx5644]

@@devindeocharan8323It’s the equivalent of replacing an infantry platoon from regular soldiers to WH40K Space Marines

[@Volodymyr.Yermakov]

Okay. First time watching you, but seen people play this game before. Was trying to find someone who uses more thoughts about his tactics and focuses on efficiency. Most importantly, not spamming types of units randomly. After several weeks, youtube recommend me this video. This seem exactly what I was looking for. Now going to check out your vods on twitch. Will probably check out your other videos.

[@Thor-sr3re]

I am so happy that you are doing videos of this game, as opposed to streams.

[@Tiberius3969]

the Shield buff card is one of my favorites cause even if its 40% more health to shields it feels like so much more, damn your opponent really threw by getting linked tanks especially when you went so hard with Snipers which are SINGLE target damage

[@dtly50]

Linked tanks with regen are the counter to when marksmen are bought as counter. However snipers are counters to linked tanks when linked tanks are bought as counter. Levels matter. Levels matter alot.

[@jeremiasnater4288]

​@@dtly50 It all depends in this game :D but honestly, linked tanks seem to never work against me, they are most of the time an investment of the enemy that makes my overkill damage be actual damage. Steelballs or Melting points are the obvious counters, but phoenix and snipers do well too

[@dtly50]

@@jeremiasnater4288 Thats why linked tanks must always go maintenance otherwise they serve no purpose other than to maintain firepower until they all die at once. It makes Phoenix and marksmen not counters, but steel balls and melting points can very quickly make them bad investments.

[@devindeocharan8323]

​@jeremiasnater4288 It really depends upon who can get the ball rolling first. If your opponent is able to get linked regen tank and you deploy marksmen in reponse? Unless thar marksmen is high level it would be ineffective as total health pool and regen is higher than the damage of marksmen. Getting tech like elite marksmen and double shot evens things out, however still can be countered. Honestly, best counter and support for tanks and marksmen is infantry, be it fangs or crawlers

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

I’m pretty happy to see Incursus still playing and enjoying this game. I know he’s expressed some concerns about what he sees as “too much RNG” in the way the battlefield is set up, so seeing strat videos coming out after multiple livestreams of the game is heartening.

[@blaank313]

thanks for convincing me to buy this game, it was very worth it :3

[@EASaber13]

I have been seeing you in game. I am not normally super into or good at competitive games. Mechabellum has apparently spoken to me though. I have been playing a whole lot of it. It's been kinda crazy all the fun styles of play I have encountered. Though stormcallers have been my bane.

[@del7330]

Stormcallers are everyones bane, including your own side with incendiary flavoured friendly fire. 😂

[@EASaber13]

@@del7330 I guess the hard counter to them would be air, but so much counters air, it's a rough way. I suppose crawlies also can make a mess of them, but you have to get around whatever other forces they got going on to do that.

[@Illianor123]

Staggered crawlers (flank crawlers too) to distract them is key. Crawlers move move command can also do a lot of work

[@twrecks6279]

I'm having alot of luck using phoenix against stormcaller. Everytime they buy a unit of stormcaller, match them with one unit of phoenix.

[@devindeocharan8323]

​@@EASaber13If they don't have EMP, life linked sledges with regen are quite effective. They have durablity to close distance and take them out. Giving them chaff/infantry support in the form of fangs, marksmen to supplement damage output, and arch lights and stormcallers of your own as firesupport? Its a dam good combination

[@vampirebat7973]

YEEAAAHH!! Incursus plays Mechabellum!

[@badtiming2208]

I hope we are getting more vids, I'm excited. I love watching these types of focused videos with a focused strategy.

[@jeremiasnater4288]

I love Mechabellum, awesome to see you playing it! I ve been originally following you for direct strike :D Would be awesome if you'd make some kind of introductory video to mechabellum to get other viewers up to speed, and maybe get some more attention to this awesome game!

[@TheLuftpolsterfolie]

I knew you would play this game sooner or later. Been playing since it was open and it's so much fun

[@laflecack]

good to see your gameplay on mechabellum, always a learning experience for me! i havent been respecting marksmen enough

[@Pedroebut]

Loved this video! Keep them coming 😉

[@brandoncarter3136]

A fresh take in direct strike is what this is!

[@nu_bee3656]

Snipey yaaaaay🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RamielNagisa]

Really cool build. Have you considered adding the spawn fangs to the snipers?

[@tevybear4070]

More please❤❤

[@jeffreyzhang1796]

Siege tanks are still busted good, even in another game.

[@NCVluminati]

THE ADICTTION

[@Kratatch]

You should try the Dual shot on Marks. They deal with heavy units super fast and armored units like wasps, fangs and phoenixes with ease. They also rek shields.

[@kroppsomvandling]

At what lvl do rapid fire on marksman pay of? so it still oneshots most units

[@1commentking]

Op Should have immediately put chaff in front of giant units.

[@kakarrru]

can u make video about stormgate gameplay reveal?

[@ranganesquik2920]

your 4th ability on mm is a ton stronger than just the range upgrade btw

[@nathanelmulcahy1306]

What is this game called

[@nilloc93]

Braindead opponent "hey hes going marks core lemmie just spend over 2K on giant units"

[@0ptera]

Are you still ignoring the flanks on purpose? Flanking Crawlers would have been a very cheap distraction to the Fang back line.

[@social3ngin33rin]

Lol amusing idea

[@Relatable_444]

How’s your day

[@theeunseen8820]

My issue with this game is i dont know whats better, a level up or another unit

[@drowsyCoffee]

The general gist of it is that overleveled units kinda beat anything you throw at em into submission. So, for the most part, you should try to level all your units (Minus like, random Crawlers that arent doing much besides distracting) in an attempt to get one or two off em really fed and into an overleveled scenario. The main reason to go units instead of upgrades is whenever you need a specific unit/upgrade to counter something your opponent has/you suspect them to build, like some Mustangs to deal with Wasps or whatnot. For the most part, the thought sequence is "Can i deal with this using more of the units i already have? If yes, upgrades are better, if not, more units (As in, whatever counter unit you need) are better"

[@ianchu631]

@@drowsyCoffee I agree with most of your points but I would argue that building a more diverse army and learning unit synergies/counters will help newer players understand where/when to put their supplies into upgrades. Personally, I think upgrades are more for reaching breakpoints in HP than for just snowballing your main damage units. I don't have a lot of experience with rts or autochess games but I think Mechabellum is pretty unique in how "swingy" games can be combined with how balanced the unit composition is. "Rule of Thumb" strategies are surprisingly absent from what I've seen both from personal experience and spectating games (though survival is another story).

[@DmitriyLaktyushkin]

Depends very much on the matchup. You have some hero units that are doing all the work and the opponent cannot easily counter? Definitely level up. On the other hand my frontline balls got countered with chaff so leveling up only increases hp a little and doesnt increase the damage they cause. I got storms instead since those actually punished the stangs.

[@Sha.ll0w]

Incursus thinks it's worth it every time... I think countering with different units is the real play. As soon as the opponent changed up his unit type Incursus lost the round, saved by the Ion Beam.

[@marcocapitani4474]

A unit multiplies its stats by its level. So a level 2 unit is double the stats of a level 1, a level 3 is 3 times etc. In a void, leveling is like getting an extra unit's worth of health and firepower at a discount. In practice, putting all your eggs in a basket might run into a hard counter. Note that this is a problem only early game, since in later rounds you get so much money you can easily buy 3 units + extra recruitment + all the levels in the world; in the early game I usually focus more on having units (since the limit on units is harsher) and delay leveling for 1 round unless you are trying to overlevel a giant unit early and snowball.

[@cl5258]

Strategies based on sledge have so many counters... Vulcan+phoenix is probably the easiest to execute. Overlords with some sort of chaff in front Rhino with final blitz or photon Ive even seen hackers work... Sledge are nice anchor units but sinking any money into em beyond lvl2 maybe lvl 3 upgrades is a giant waste imo

[@andrewmesser2899]

Yo!

[@thechrisgrice]

I guess you forgot that you can get a permanent health and damage upgrade for 100 credits each at the research center?
