This video is intended as a guide only and I would strongly suggest trying out these various strategies yourself until you get the hang of when and how to use them. - เกม
note on infiltration, don't sit too close to strategic points as they have a small detection radius.
Dark eldar and Tau have no turrets, for anyone else don't let Devilfish go near them as they have a detection radius bigger than Devilfish can shoot.
You can put 3 squads of stealth suits in a Devilfish. Equip them with Fusion Blasters and you can cause carnage to your opponents generators.
For the Vespid rush - if you build Stealthsuits before your builder, leave jetpacks for after you build Vespids, and build a Fire Warrior squad instead of a Tau Commander you can reinforce all of your strategic locations with Listening Posts and not hamstring your early economy. It will even have your Vespids and Fire Warriors come out at almost the exact same time. You can also start reinforcing the Fire Warriors a little after they come out or after you have scouted the enemy and it makes for a much more effective rush strategy.
You will body every race other than Orks and Marines in the early game.
Even against orks this is good as vespids can focus on destroying outer lps and kiillling gretchins.
@@Michau940 Yeah but unfortunately Vespids get annihilated by the Big Mek (he kills each Vespid in a single melee attack) and he is very mobile. It isn't until you get an additional Kroot Carnivore squad that you can stand against him.
The bottle neck for the Harbinger is the power so there is no reason to get 2. Also, if you have +350 power and have 2 going at a time, you can spawn so many drones you hit the unit spawn limit and both Harbingers will turn off their overwatch and you'll need to spend APM to turn it back on again.
Perhaps as a followup you could demonstrate some of the openings in an actual pvp game. Also you could mention what matchup each build is good/bad against 😉
Good idea! I'll try to do that for the next guide!
i won so many games with the drone harbinger, its not a fair unit haha. Even necrons cannot send that many scarabs, and that would fit better in lore.
Thank you for the awesome content dude, love soulstorm. Keep it up
Cheers! Plenty of content to come :)
my brother sends his imperial commander and a techmarine right up to my door step at 1:50 in and just plops a heavy bolter turret onto my base and i have no clue how to handle it
Vespids and Tau Commander. Vespids can rip apart the turret with Destabilize and Tau Commander can kill techpriest with Target Acquired
In the standard build section, you mentioned that sometimes you may want to make the firewarriors first (before the tau commander) - you do this if you are expecting your opponent to go for a fast decap and you want to cancel it, for example it’s quite common for necrons or space marines to do this vs tau
If you’re confident in your micro and being able to split your attention across the map, you can also try opening with 3 stealth suits. This allows you to quickly control the map and decap many of your opponents points
Thanks for clearing that up @@alixuk2567!
After you finish all the races maybe you could get some of your replays or one of the public ones and focus on a player and explain their decisions throughout the battle or just the beggining :0 That would be helpful for me atleast!
I like that idea!
Awesome video, ever thought about making similar ones but with the ua mod?
In the Vespid + Tau rush against Necron (yeah, I have a pesky teching Necron friend to punish >D) how do you deal with the Necron Lord, which I assume will be there by the time our units reach the enemy base?
I have been having some problems dealing with vehicles as tau, specifically early defilers. any advice to deal with them?
The best counter to Defilers is 100% Barracudas. Fast and can take down Defilers from a good range. Stealthsuits are also a very good option provided they can attack undetected but they work best with leader and fusion guns attached (3 or 4 squads for better damage). The only other option I can think of that requires a little more skill is the XV88 Broadside Battlesuit; this unit has to be stationary at full effectiveness and you need to get used to its range, but boy oh boy he has great anti-vehicle damage as well as one-shotting most units.
no krootrush? disappointed
hey, when you will make eldar build order 😭😭
Check my page! There's a poll for which races I will be doing next in order of popularity :)
Is this guide relevant using the ultimate apocalypse and unification mods?
For Unification maybe, but UA has a lot of new features that wouldn't really make this applicable to that mod.
Man your are so good at this game, can u teach me some advices? I have uploaded some vids to my channel of my "progress" playing dark crusade hard campaign and I already got beaten up once.
Would be nice if u went into my channel and make a review with tips and hints of what should I do to improve in the game. :D
