Fanatics OverPowered? Discussion

Guys, I bought one of the Fanatics deals in the shop.

I have leveled my Fanatics to lvl 8 which is the same level as my Seth decks unit.

My Seth Deck is my NOD Aggro deck.

Originally, My Seth Deck had the following units:

-Militants 

-Lasers

-Flame Troopers

-Buggy

-Attack Bike

-Scorpion Tank

I feel like my Deck is a Classic Aggro NOD deck which is perfectly fine!

You could change a few things around if you wanted to be like the Top Tier kids.

-Cyberwheels over Flame Troopers

-Chem Buggy or Venom over Regular Buggy

-Banshee over Scorpion Tank

I’m sure many people have seen the Top Tier NOD Aggro decks I’m talking about.

Well, today, I wanted to try Fanatics!

I replaced my Flame Troopers for the Fanatics.

It seemed like the most logical change since they are identical.

They both are made for Infantry.

They not great vs Vechical.

They can’t Attack Aircrafts.

Guys, I feel the Fanatics could be overpowered!

I have both units lvl 8.

Flame Troopers have 2k Health roughly + 200 Attack roughly

Fanatics have 1k Health roughly + 350 Attack roughly

Than, They boost surrounding units when they die.

Has anyone else tried this units or faced them in fight?

I feel stats are fine.

They have half the health, but double the damage.

They are like a Glass Cannon which I can appreciate.

The death effects, on the other hand, might need some adjusting.

‘Please discuss what you think should happen!

Am I been to quick to judge them as overpowered?

Am I correct in my judgement?

    Quick update:

    I made a few changes to my deck list.

    -Militants 

    -Lasers

    -Fanatics 

    -Buggy

    -Attack Bikes

    -Banshee

    I been playing the above deck.

    It seems to be doing very good.

  • I hate that I can‘t bring new units into the field asap...

    First I have to hope that I actually get them from crates, and then I have to level it up... I can‘t use lvl 4 fanatics in my lvl 9 army...

    Remember the slingshot? I STILL can‘t use it because it‘s 1 lvl too low, but I really want to use it. I have no other option than to wait...

    This is the reason why I couldn‘t value the fanatics yet - I didn‘t bring them, but also I didn‘t fight them yet. I can judge decks containing fanatics once I get to see their potential.

    Note: while the buff is already good on itself, I still want the fanatics to deal good damage. Hopefully I get to see it soon.

    Deck seems nice, but you might run into problems if enemy manages to get tech out.

    Also your deck is very cheap. You might run into the problem that you have tons of tiberium but you can‘t use it because of the unit cap. I‘d recommend replacing the militants with something more expensive. It can be anything, really. Then imagine the fanatics buffing the strong unit.

    You might also consider swapping buggy with chembuggy and picking Jade. But that‘s just an idea.

    “But I need a scout!“ you may say. Don‘t worry, opening with lasers works fine too. You can use them to scout.

    Yeah, I made the deck to be like a Aggro NOD deck.

    It often loses if my opponent spams out a lot of Tech units.

    I try to win before they are able to bring Techs out.

  • I haven't seen them used much so can't really judge, but from what I have seen and from when I used them briefly I'd say no they're not op. I wouldn't use them in your deck though, they seem better suited for sacrificing to boost stronger units like the giga cannon etc. The sort of unit you would use oxanna on and then double it up with the fanatics. If used right I can see them being very strong but like many units they need a specific situation to be really good which might make them seem op in some situations but not for every deck and every match.

    Quick Update:

    I reached Master 1 Rank with Fanatics.

    Commander:

    -Seth

    Deck List:

    -Militants 

    -Laser 

    -Fanatics 

    -Buggy

    -Attack Bikes

    -Banshee

    Unit levels:

    -Level 9 for all units.

    I think I could of reach Tiberuim if I had full level 10.

    Nevertheless, I had fun.

    It was great season.
