Ok in grass hills I can always giant mass but in medium maps chaos eats my army and then my eco, swords are so useless they just tank crawlers while archers get bombed and because of the new update I can't kite my archers because of lag and in small maps regardless what I do my swords always die because of new update.

This new update tbh makes bombers OP again. Until the meta stabilizes all I can stay is stay out of rank.

There NEEDS to be a fix for this, burn should be reserved for elementals, especially since there's no way to cure it.

Actually bombers have been nerfed in my opinion
Their blast damage has been reduced like what happened on magikills
only that the damage being prolonged by burning stat, so it is harder for bombers to instant kill

Do you agree?

Back to topic, on castle it is the easiest map to defeat chaos, you should sword rush them and kill his miners
on short/medium map it is quite tough, it requires good micro for you to defeat him, try sword split at the early game and use some combo such as spearton+archers or spearton+albowtross (op now due to the **** patch)
on long map it also requires good micro to win, you may try shadlbow (shadowrath+albowtross) you may turtle if necessary, use magikill to defend your base (if necessary too, watch out medusas)

Ah, for castle I have got an old version replay for your reference (ignore my chats, I was too talkative)
Just do the same way, but 2 swords 1 miner then keep spamming swords is better, don't use archers if you are not good at it
keep rushing with swords, you may ignore his castle dead and try to kill his miners if possible, split your swords when you see a bomber rushing in

Hope I can help you

Azxc, 2 bombers kills a miner. 3 can kill a sword. Pretty good buff if you ask me..

EDIT: Azxc, chaos has a definite advantage on castle now with the buffed bombers. Order'll kill em off easily on larger maps though

lol okay, I don't have time to test bombers, just knew their instant damage is weak
but in castle there is enough time to kill those miners I think, dunno
