[TUPM]Echo419 13 years ago Its very effective on some maps, my question is, how do people do it (com assist or caretaker?) and how do you counter it? Ive tried com assist but i dont seam to get as many out as opponents to. For counters, they eat through scouts/light raiders and llt's easilly. In hindsight though im yet to try a stardust. +0 / -0
luckywaldo7 13 years ago Making a caretaker would be suboptimal because that much early buildpower is mostly wasted. Probably they spend most of their early resources assisting with their commander to make it. If you need to counter several of them, I would recommend riot units. Warriors tear them up, especially considering that 1 warrior costs the same as 1 pyro. Also llt do great against pyro considering that llt only cost 90 and pyro costs 220. Use llt in combination with your riot units. Of course, don't underestimate the defensive capabilities of your commander and never, never forget to put up radar to see that attacks incoming. +0 / -0
[TUPM]Echo419 13 years ago Problem is without com assist im getting 5 glaives out by the time they're attacking with 4-5 pyros. Since pyros cost alot more im suprised at how many theyre throwing at me (shouldve watched the replay duh). In once instance i did have a LLT up, but only one, it did about half damage to one pyro before it went down to 4 of em. Even the commander (strike) has problems. Though i will have to try warriors now. +0 / -0
jiero 13 years ago I could not believe when you got 5 glavies the opposite side have so many pyros come along together. 220 cost per pyro then the opposite have not made eco with 200+ cost and using support commander, probably. How they rush a jack? The same question, I can also rush a blackdawn if i don't start eco. The problem is you too slow? +0 / -0
Klube 13 years ago the best counter is spider lab with venoms pyros are useless against emp weapons, so anything with emp will stop them. 1 faraday is enough to stop 1 ina single shot, more if they are close together. I've had a faraday stop 5 of them, then i sent a crawling bomb in and kill them all. +0 / -0
force_renamed 13 years ago It's hard to rush pyros like that but regular static defence does pretty good against them and pyros are often crap cuz they die so quick, mostly by burning each other to death firewalkers and fire coms are dealt with as u deal with most heavy units, precision bombers/spies/skuttles/snipers +0 / -0
