Yuri Units Competitive Tier List | Red Alert 2

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
  • Welcome back to our Command & Conquer Tier List series. We're gonna rank all of Yuri infantries, vehicles, naval ships, and aircrafts based on how viable they are in the online meta of RA2: Yuri's Revenge. I'll also provide reasoning and a competitive analysis of why I ranked a certain unit in their corresponding spot.
    Note that this tier list is NOT based on a unit's overall strength. Units here are ranked by their viability in the meta. You may see a very strong unit being ranked low on this list - That is because they do not see many uses in online competitive gameplay.
    (End Screen image is made by Xouth!)
    Time codes for units:
    S - Tier:
    Gatling Tank - 0:08
    Magnetron - 0:32
    Mastermind - 0:46
    A - Tier:
    Initiate - 1:08
    Yuri Prime - 1:33
    Floating Disc - 1:50
    B - Tier:
    Virus - 2:03
    Yuri Clone - 2:27
    Brute - 2:46
    Lasher Tank - 3:10
    C - Tier:
    Chaos Drone - 3:26
    D - Tier:
    Boomer Submarine - 3:35

    I disagree on Boomers. They make excellent harassers when used in small groups to do hit-n-run attacks. Have group A shell a base and while the enemy focuses on them, group A flees and group B begins attacking from another direction/body of water, and so on. The amount of chaos they can inflict is impressive.

      I'd put them in B tier, same as Kirov. If you anticipate Boomers as Allied or Soviet you can swiftly deprive Yuri of any navy, but a surprise Boomer can level a base, especially without the early warning that Kirovs have.

    Not a bad list, but I don't see how Chaos Drone is ranked higher than the boomer. I literally have never seen someone construct a chaos drone in a multiplayer match. Boomers are expensive and make it hard for Yuri to compete with subs, squids, or dolphins, but they still have their uses and are quite common to see on any naval map. The fact that they can act as a naval artillery while also being able to defend like a sub is quite powerful, and allows them to have way more artillery firepower than any other faction can afford to invest in. That firepower combined with the stealth of subs can make them really powerful and difficult to deal with if you don't have naval supremacy over Yuri. They are so powerful that the community yuri patch as well as many custom maps have decided to nerf them.

    Bet allies see how impressive Yuri is and they take the revenge by becoming a way more OP faction in RA3, both in lore and in skirmish.
    I believe few would argue Yuri is the most OP race in entire RA2. I wonder if Yuri Arsenal can rival the power of cryocopter. :) If Gatling Gun is in RA3 that could be the only unit that can at least think about killing cryocopter. Also mind control in RA3 would be devastating given how low eco it is.

      Allies would shrink the mastermind and idk how that would work. Perhaps it would be more scary because its fast or not? Tbh allies would decimate yuri because of lack of anti-air options for yuri, send in a cryocopter for the guns and they're as good as defenseless

    Personally I think the Boomer should be considered, if not higher in meta, a seriously unbalanced unit in Yuris arsenal. If only because of how fast Yuri can get them up and running, usually before the Allies and Soviets can build sufficient amounts of counters to them. Of course this changes based on the map, naturally a heavy water map means the Boomer rises in threat.

      A good Allied or Soviet player will leave Yuri with no navy, boomers don't trade cost effectively with Dolphins or Subs. However if you don't build adequate naval a surprise boomer can end a game. It comes out sooner than Dreadnoughts and doesn't announce itself.

    one interesting thing about magnetrons that wasn't listed here is using the attack move command can make them juggle a handful of tanks effectively canceling any orders given to them when lifted briefly. This seems to work because attack move in this game is really weird in that it prioritizes movement over attack and magnetrons only target ground units so when the unit they lift is high enough to be considered an air unit it loses target despite normally being able to drag it around and locks on to something else.

    lasher tanks were now lazer tanks and fired the lazers from the floating disc Providing extra range,
    his mcv had a grand cannon and could go into bunkers.
    And finally yuri Prime could control 3 units at once.

    Boomers deserve B tier. Yes its true that Subs and Dolphins counter Boomers, but a surprise Boomer rush can wreck an unsuspecting player. Take the Kirov, which you put in B tier. Its easy to stop if you anticipate it but a surprise Kirov will blow shit up before opponent builds adequate AA. Boomers also do not announce themselves upon creation, unlike Kirovs.
