Re: Obelisk of Light counter

Hey there @RedAshphoenix!

Obelisk of light does MASSIVE damage to 1 unit, infantry or vehicle. But ONLY 1 unit.

That's good to know. Then it's not quite an anti vehicle as written in its description but an anti ground unit. Specifically anti single big target. 

But.. short of putting more info on the unit's info card, i guess, we'll all have to turn to the next best thing... Forums and good ol experience. 🙂

You're essentially saying, I'd have better luck with the Missile Squad than the Zone Troopers? Because of there being more units?

i've steered off air units mostly because i find there's way too many ground units that can take em out. Though if i meet more Obelisk opponents, i might just have to do that. 

Thanks for the strategy tips, @BattaIia. Still learning the ropes but getting better with the guidances 😉 Appreciate it.

    Yea, losing 1 rocket trooper model is about 5 tib. Losing a zone trooper model is about 60 tib. Much harder to swallow. If they are micro'ing the tower, they can select the target they wanna hit, so it's always risky putting something in range of it that you want to keep alive. But if they don't know how to micro the tower, it will always attack the closest target, so you can try to use that to your advantage. Run a rifleman squad right beside it and laugh as it wastes shot after shot on them.

    Kane's obelisk used to be really strong. Now it's pretty easy to handle.
