Killing special units strategy?

RE: Killing special units strategy?
Only played against brambles so far..

I guess Bombshell is the ultimate counter against Brambles. The AOE effect is devastating for the spammed barriers..

RE: Killing special units strategy?
Playing as Mobi:

vs Bombshell
a) go around it
b) teleport shenanigans to kill

vs Bramble
teleport shenanigans

vs Scrambler
If you don't know where it is: teleport shenanigans to look for it
If you know where it is:
a) avoid it
b) teleport shenanigans to kill it

vs Mobi
play smarter!

RE: Killing special units strategy?
I never kill the bramble.
so far, as i've seen, the thorns begin to block their own unit paths, which is advantageous for me.
although im in clever so i dont really know Tongue

RE: Killing special units strategy?
I only kill bramble if it's feasible to do so, since it usually doesn't cause too much of a problem if I have any other special. I usually try to disable the other units and ignore bramble, or threaten it.
Sheenadaormfiendkofm(shenanigains) is good with mobi. Though once bramble out defended me- so I failed Sad in a rush

If you can't take it out efficiently, wit-wise, wait until you can. Lately I've been sacrificing too much to take specials out ASAP and leaving myself even weaker than if I'd just tried to slowly push back.

That's probably the best advice you can give. I recently played a game where I exposed a scrambler, and almost instinctively went to send in mobi and a sniper to finish him. After a longer look, I realized I would be swapping a sniper, soldier, and mobi, just for the one scrambler. Easy decision to mobi the soldier to safety and wait for a better opportunity. Had that scrambler been a bombshell, I might have made the swap. So much implied damage from a shell that the math doesn't need to add up for that swap, IMO.

RE: Killing special units strategy?
A bombshell also costs at least 1 more wit because of shelling, and often 3, so the math is better that way

What rank are you that you get to play brambles all the time? I never have played a league match vs anyone with a bramble. :'(

Oops I meant that the only special unit I have encountered besides the default Scallywag race is the Bramble race at that time.

I met Brambles twice while I was in Clever league. Currently, in Gifted league, meeting Feedback and Adorables often T_T

Feedback have a nasty Scrambler which can be rather potent in defence ( imagine controlling your heavies and destroying your attack force ) .

Haven't met the mobi yet though.
