Vs order 1:30 or 2 minute mark for first tree
2:30 for second then upgrade scorps and a fire or hustle and fire then upgrades
Always place tree ahead of second row but within castle air if doing my version of ele turtle.
3 trees 3 mins. At this point, look at what your opponent has. If simply sword archer meric spam, push with your army at his archers early on to keep the numbers down.
2 scorp pegs on and archer and switch targets to another archer is an effective way to keep the opponent at bay as you go into 2 cycloids to deal with his archers making sure to research tornado before queing cycloid. At this point capture tower using your fires/water/cycoids for ts1 support. If opponent turtles and begins making higher tier units grab v ups and passives and use the possess to grab any units of benefit.
This ranges from merics, shadows, magikills, and spears if there is none of the prior.
V possess sniping is rather simple too. Grabbing a nontank unit like the meric allows for you to be in use it as a tank as your opponent will be likely to archer spam and the arrows will quickly make it disappear. The same goes for shadows as you can outrun them by simply moving away. Teasing a shadow out and waiting for it to shinobi, teleport into possess as it attempts to flee, voila shadow tank and possible shinobi snipe. Using wave tactics. Never rush in like a dumbass. Ts2 if your opponent is miraculously still there. Whenever stealing magikills cast elec wall below the bulk of his support and quickly let it go as the elec wall was registered as your spell and will damage him still. Stealing a unit as it casts changes it to your spell as soon as it becomes possessed.
