In the current state of amph bots, they seriously need arty. The lobster isa nice and unique unit but doesn't cut it quite enough against a decent porc line. Put some faradays and any unit the lobster lobs will just get stunned and killed. The Grizzly is the closest to an artillery unit the amph fac has and it's not even meant for that role. I have heard of an amph arty known as the Kraken and am wondering when will it come out?

What is the role/purpose of arti? If it's harassment then Grizzly does that fine. If it's porc killing then, again, Grizzly is fine until you get to Desolator.

I agree with dyth68 arty isn't really meant for amphbots and their role. Grizzly's are fine and you will hardly ever see desolators and lucifers.

get in tune to retreat and repair with grizlies, too. eventuyally you just have like 5 conches backing them up on the front line and 75 float energy to work with overdrive/repair. in 1v1s at least.

Factories aren't necessarily supposed to have an answer to everything. If the porc is too heavy for Grizzlies then it's time to facswitch or do something like a missile silo.

How do you define a decent porc line?

Some stingers with shields raised stardusts, faradays and gauss cannons. terraform here and there to boost defense.

that amount of porc is already very likely to be more expensive than a grizz. You either go around if you can, or, in case the porc is denying you map control, something went wrong earlier.
