Re: Sandstorm and Disruptor

You do know boosted tanks can pretty easily wipe out that combo, not to mention Titans? That spamming has no good anti-tank units.

Better combo honestly are Zone Troopers + Disruptor tanks, but i don't see Zones getting nerfed anytime soon.

Even Wolverine + Zones are a better alternative.

    Disruptors should be the ones to be nerfed. One can strike your base the moment the nuke flies to you and the next moment, your base is down. Also tech units in general should be nerfed, make them cheaper yet more fragile to the point that a predator can kill an injured sandstorm or titan. Centurions are another story cause they have shields. Even a lone rifleman can remove the shield for an anti-tank unit like a predator. Rock-worms are OP cause they have a low RoF but extremely high damage. I would want this reversed so it attacks more often but it deals like 25% less damage. Wolverines need a damage boost whilst it and widow maker should have a 25% cost reduction. A wolverine can't stand against a widow maker, I tested it before, but the wolverine must go toe to toe against one of these.

    I disagree with the Zone + Disruptor comment.

    The combo isn’t better vs. Sandstorm + Disruptor.

    I have played both combos.

    I can tell you from experience the Sandstorm + Disruptor is better.

    The deck is a Tech Deck.

    Tech Decks suffer greatly in the early game vs. Aggro decks.

    Most deck builds which feature the Sandstorm + Disruptor run Barrack Units in the Early Game.

    What ends up happening is the Zones Troopers are Infantry!

    The Units in Barrack are all Infantry.

    You get countered extremely hard by Chem-Buggies & Higher Level Shockwaves Or Flames Troopers.

    Players go with the Sandstorm because it is Vechical which can fight against the Chem-Buggies.

    Zone Troopers would have tough time.


    I also disagree with your Wolverines + Zone Combo.

    The Wolverines are extremely slow at killing off Infantry.

    The Disruptor is tons better & it offers better base damage.


    Zones Troopers best pairing is with the Juggernaut.

    The Juggernauts do friendly fire which is ok for the Zones because they can heal themselves.

    Zone can’t stop JJT killing your jugg. Spamming orca bombers can just humiliate you plus they are cheaper and not even tech. A combo of 2 is never gonna be perfect even tech combos. You seldom see anti-vehicle specialist vehicles like titan/centurion/rockswarm, then Sandstorm and Disruptor combo can be better but they are still beatable by pure MBT spam.

    Players are not using the Zones to stop JJT’s.

    Players are using Zones to have better Air Counter + Healing.

    Jugg have weakness to Air.

    Jugg have friendly Fire.

    Are you talking about the Predator Tank & Scorpion Tank?
