Hello chaos players. I was hoping to ask all of you on how to defeat giant massing. I have tried the marrowkai strategy against giant mass but it just didnt work when the enemy has 5 or more enslaved giants. 4 marrowkais arent enough and when I get more marrowkais my army gets disbalanced and again, I lose. So could any of you please help me with different strategies against giant massing. And btw I cant see what Wyzdm posted in the thread "your chaos questions here" because you cant view replays through codes anymore. Your help and tips would be appreciated.

Destroy his econamy before it can supports giants. When he only has 1-2 giants use reaper and have anything attack.

Hi reader,

When I had Chaos I would get 1 Dead, 6 Jugger Knights, 3 Medusas, and 1 Marrowkai....

Hi reader (Especially DragonFrost),

10 Bombers? Bombers do nothing to Giants whenever I use em... and Wingadons will die too easily. You need a Giant of your own with Wingadons and a Marrowkai.
Jugger Knights to GREAT Tank Damage (TD);
Wingadons (Eclipsors) are great in Long Range Damage (LRD);
Marrowkai's reaper is great for stunning the Giant;
Medusas Petrify can do massive damage (MD).
Giants can do Tank Damage (TD) and Area Effect Damage (AED).

Why do people say Area OF Effect?

Hey, I just played a game against you!
While I didn't giant mass (I would not stoop so low), there are some things you could have done that would make helped you early game:
Make more crawlers! Early archer is technically not sound vs. chaos. Make a lot of crawlers and chase that archer down. Use bombers to thin out crowds of swordwrath.
Don't tech straight up to juggs. They're good for tanks but not as infantry. Stick with crawler + bomber combo for a bit; trust me, it's powerful. Just read one of BuddyLucky2's rage threads and you'd know.

Hi reader (Especially DragonFrost),

Only works in 1500's, so once I reached 1700 it would never work. Jugger Knights are very useful in mid-game.

Interesting. I've gotten up to 1.8k with that strategy, and only lost once to a 2k order player that sword raged on castle...

HM... Well it's tough. Perhaps a "JUGGERKNIGHT" rush? Like a spearton rush, but with chaos.

You're doomed. Break his turtle early, or you're finished.

Sup man whenever you see your opp. getting giants the first thing you need to do is destroy his economy before he can support the giants,and if he does that your doomed O_O. But if he has like 4 giants get like 2 rows of juggernauts and 2 giants followed by 1 Medusa. This will work because the juggernaut are great to tank the e Giants attacks and the juggernauts will do massive damage while being backed up by the giants and Medusa.
