I see no balance for scarabs was added! I guess I’ll have to continue leaving battles when I see my opponent attacking with them! They are so unbalanced that I can’t complete against them I’m only lvl 39 and as usual i have to go against opponents 15-20 levels higher. I rarely win when going against these odds. But hey I guess you guys love to see this type of unbalanced matchmaking so people are FORCED to spend money to level. Unfortunately I dont have daddy’s platinum card! To bad for me! ☹️

I used to hate Scarabs and it used to tick me off when Battalia would post his guide on how to deal with them because I was convinced they were too strong and unstoppable.Since learning how to deal with them, I will officially eat Crow and say that I was wrong. They are pretty easy to deal with and overcome once you learn how to. Since I have learned, I get many opponents who use them disconnect like cowards when they realize that their scarabs aren't working for them against me.

Yeah i agree, they are way too unbalanced.…as in too weak.

Please review this handy guide I wrote, and let me know if you have any outstanding questions. Soon you too can turn scarab users into a source of free wins rather than free loses!https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/gt-IF-YOU-ARE-HAVING-TROUBLE-WITH-SCARABS-CLICK-HERE-lt/m-p/7208069

player level doesn't mean anything. I'll gladly vs anyone on tournament rules (level 5 units) and not choose anything unlocked after level 10 for NOD and 14 for GDI and still have an answer for every unit you bring.99.99% of complaints about a unit that someone else has that they didn't and had to fight and didn't have an answer for was their own poor deck, and nothing to do with the unlock system.Feel free to attempt to change my mind, but every unit as a counter that is available very early on.

it's posts like that that make it all worth it. So happy to hear that MarineCpl!

Great strat for scarabs do you have a strat against players 15-20 levels higher then you? How do you deal with units you dont even have yet? There is no way these level 55 and 60 players are low rating in gold or platinum league. Not when they can steam roll low level players with weak units. It just doesnt make sense I cant kill a level 9 avatar or flame tank within the first few minutes of battle. Any counter i have gets killed fast.

Its always important to scout and see what one is up to. Any unit with a 3 tile range works. You then know what units come up and how would you counter it. Scouting reveals the scarab before it can set up. Also if you have scarabs as a way to defend your nearer tile, enemies can't just simply steal it. Also how can scarabs be used on the offense? Does one have to screw the opponent's unit's targeting and have it attack something else?

Im not talking about tourney with some bs stipulations. Im talking about every damn opponent I get matched with is 15-20 level over me with units and commanders I cant compete with no matter whats in my deck. Like I said before you made up a bunch of guidelines and rules that mean nothing in the current league matchmaking that is pure crap, lightweights dont fight in a heavyweight fight. Seems to me they purposely do it here to crap on non coiners who cant pay to win. These gd smartphone games are out of control now. They want to charge for ever gd thing now. I miss the days when you just paid once for the game and maybe a small monthly online fee.
