A pure Spearton army could counter it, if you have played the Campaign.


on the archidon level campaign i just rushed the stature with a bunch of speartons. play verse campaign with everyday annoying strategies, spearton rush state, giant mass, etc

but rushing the statue wouldn't work, because the archer spammer would probably have castle archers in his archer madness, and by the time the speartons make it accross the field, the 40 archers, kiting, would have slayed 10.

I'd just rush their statue, and use some speartons as meat shields while in shield wall mode!

40 archers wouldn't work anyways, because 3 Castle Archers would slaughter them. Then rush out with Spearton and destroy the remainder and go for the statue!

If you gave him enough time to get Ghost Spawn, 40 Archers, accepted killing your opponent's miners, and have NO army whatsoever, you're kinda not good at SE.

He's saying that YOU should get spawn, not the enemy lol, but then again, the archers would probably have the mid, wouldn't they?

If we're going to talk about things like this, then 80 swords with rage should do the trick. Archidons can't kite good enough against 80 enraged swords that moves faster than them.

Not if the guy with archidons have walls. In the few seconds it takes to break the walls, 20 swords would be dead. They die pretty quickly, you know...

Tried this out with good micro and 2 walls no archers can actually get hit.
however i was against noob who used rage too early and had like 10% health when got to my walls.
On retry he done it too late and was paused for 3 seconds and got massacred.
