I won't play until the game is balanced again.

If someone giant masses and I couldn't kill his economy in the beginning, I just spearton rush his statue :P


Alright, there is a problem with this. I just won a game HILARIOUS, by the way.

Setup for my army:

7 Giants in middle

2 Merics

At base:

10 SwordWrath with Rage

5 Spearton

0 Miners

2 Walls

2 Castle Archers

My opponent probably had about 15 Spearton or so, and he was waiting for me to attack with Giants (he thought that was all I had). If he just rushed past I could hit the defend button immediately and still kill his Spearton. But he DIDNT know of my defense back at my base, so I attacked with Giants only and kept the SwordWrath and Speartons in Shield Wall in front of the first Miner Wall. He rushed past, having 6 stunned, but 9 of them made it out. 9 is enough, but not in my defense.

First, I used Shield Bash to stun them, then Rage to kill them. Since he was only targeting the walls, I suffered no casualties and his Spearton were dead in 10 sec.

1) Have the reaper target the Giant, use the ground smash (fists from the dead thingy) if you have the gold to spare (otherwise build juggers/giants of your own). If they have merics, target them first.

2) keep your juggers in front of your wingdom (if you're using any, which I do for a nice air game), or in front of reapers. Reapers move slow, so keep them further back and only have them run in to target the giant.

3) Although medusas can't kill giants with the stone ability, IT DOES MASSIVE DAMAGE (even to the statue). Use these to rid of merics or giants.

This is how you can ward off any giant in the middle, so you can take tower and get a giant of your own as chaos.

So, mass medusa, marrowkai, meat shields and maybe some wingadons is good against mass giants?
P.s. you spelled many units' names wrong XD

One point I would like to make to my fellow "giant massers". Beware of a timing push of flying crowssbowman. Even if you do make your giant, a well timed push by a turtler(he's not turtling in this case, he's buying time) can fuck your day up.

BASICALLY IM SAYING DONT GIANT MASS. IT WONT WORK AGAINST A SMART OPPONENT WHO KNOWS A GOOD TIMING PUSH. SEE EVERYONE? GIANT MASSING ISNT A PROBLEM. YOU JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY.

(I lost to a rank 1600 who did this. Lost like 30 points thus the caps lock to try and make a point that if a 1600 can do it. You just suck if you can't. LOL JK. YOu can too <3. I couldnt help myself on that one cause I was thinking most people would expect me to say "you can too" :) so I changed it up on ya'll.... i'm bored and talking to myself)

Sorry, but does this website have anything to do with SE? Oh, WyZdM replaced you.

EDIT: I only read 3 words so don't criticize or anything.

Sorry maybe you can't read. But it perfectly explains what a timing attack is. Timing attacks can also be used in SE.

And It's hard to tell what your tone of voice is, but based on your wording and the fact you obviously didn't even bother to read what I posted(either that, or you can't read), I'm going to assume it's a hostile one. And "your pal" WyzDM and I are good friends. We're in the same clan actually and I was the one who taught him when he first started. Just thought you'd like to know since your pals and all.
