- I'm drn and this is our fifth game in this week's tournament, here we're going up against EsperLion. They're off to a strong start with Quick Supply Phoenixes. Can we fight our way through some of the most obnoxious units in the game, or will we lose in the most frustrating way imaginable?
Anything you think I've done wrong or could do better please let me know, I'm always looking to improve both my gameplay and the video quality. Thanks again for watching!

Part of the ship, part of the crew! Appreciate all the help I've been given, big thanks everyone.
It's nice to see somebody else vent out their frustrations about hackers in a higher word count than I ever could
Hahaha, sorry - sometimes enjoy waxing lyrical far too much! :D
Interesting observation: drn becomes more verbose proportional with his frustration. Also, editing drns becomes increasingly happier proportional to drns frustration. Interesting.
At least one of us is always having fun! :D
Blud be rewatching his recording thinking „what tf was I blabbin'?!“😂
Haha, imagine having to listen to yourself spout effusive nonsense whilst being demolished all game long. No wonder Editing DRN hates me! :D
6:55 Say you aren't clearing chaff fast enough, proceed to buy more snipers. Magical
Total hypocrite! I know, sorry if it's annoying. Sometimes I'm thinking about one thing while doing another and sometimes I let my mouth run away with itself while I'm making decisions and plotting other cunning schemes!
Come for the Mechabellum gameplay, stay for the poetry.
Nice come back.
Haha, thanks dude! Sometimes I can get a bit carried away, let me know if I ever go too far.
It's fun! The other thing I really like are the obscure references. A lot of them miss me but when I get one I get to be the Di Caprio Pointing meme.
@@CypherC300 Hahaha, I've been toning down the references lately, but some still slip out from time to time :D
"I like it when I see a DRN loss, because the post-gameplay summary feels so much more educational."
5 minutes later.
"What a comeback! Burn them all!!"
Hahaha, thanks! Got carried away myself with this one :D
Hey there drn! We got matched yesterday and I didn't know you got a RUclips-Channel too! Nice content and keep up the good work! Until we match again!
Thanks man! Wish my German was stronger so I could follow your videos better!
@@Drone_101 No worries. German content is a small niche anyway, and I’m perfectly fine with that. I’ve added your channel to my recommended list and will also include a link to your channel below our game-it’s scheduled for tomorrow. I’m sure some of my viewers will enjoy your videos as well.
Thank you for showing the upgrades on screen when talking about them! I assume players that play the game a lot know it already but for newer players it's really helpful, and i don't have to pause to read the upgrades
Thanks for noticing! Editing DRN doing his magic making the game approachable for everyone. Used to assume everyone knew what was meant when talking about Hacker Shields vs Fang Shields but that was just me being thoughtless and lazy.
Only takes a handful of minutes to put up a quick tool tip so even if folks haven't put hundreds of hours into the game they can still understand what we're debating or thinking about. Hope you enjoy!
@@Drone_101 thank you sir, and have a nice day! Busy binging your other vids, lmao
What a game indeed! That was insane. Loosing each round by a thread until the tables finally turned. I was so engulfed by what was happening I wasn't thinking about tactics!
In the end, an amazing and very long game. A true under dog come back story, with a bit of skill inspired spite when the bets came rolling in.
No real advice, this game was above my pay grade to know what the right calls were.
Edits were on point! Very easy to follow what you were saying even as the game got crazy.
Wishing you the best of luck and all the sledgehammers!
Glad you enjoyed it, thought it was a great game! Thanks for all the support and the compliments :D Hoping you're having a great day!
Phew, crazy match. I was yelling at my screen about u almost forgetting that item!! I was like the item... the item... THE ITEM!!! 10 sec left, oh the item.
Haha, sorry for the scare! Was taking my turn deciding who to put it on but in the end the choice was an easy one :D
@Drone_101 ive forgotten the item before and lost rounds for it. It's ok to save the item too, but I think u picked it for a plan and I was just getting excited watching you. It's funny cause I really don't watch or care for sports, but I love watching ur games and comments and rooting for u. Win or lose, u got us as fans!
Enjoying your humor. I am Brand new to the game too. Thank you for the incite.
You're more than welcome! Thank you for the kind words and enjoying your paronomasia, just wish I could keep up :D
What a great game!, it was so good to watch your thought process as you turned things around :)
Was a lot of fun playing this one. A tad stressful at times though when I thought we were doomed, haha :D
minute 3:28
i felt that hahaha
brother this was awesome how you only have 1.13k subs is criminal. cheers cobber again awesome, editing and even narrative was great without being over the top. hat goes off to ye mate.
Thanks dude! Appreciate the kind words, always makes my day. Commentator's curse is very real! As soon as I say "I'm sure we've got this" we'll instantly lose the round :D
Well played, great come back with the wasps
Thanks! Don't run Wasp carry often but when we do, we go hard :D
I for one love learning new words. Thanks drn
Upvoted the video before i watched it just because of the title :D When I pick hackers i always apologize at the end, win or loss.
Enjoy! Thanks for the bump :D
Nice job dude! Hackers are indeed annoying, you put your money and resources into a strategy only to hand them to the opponent, lol.
Haha, yeah! "Here why don't you club me in the face with my own baseball bat?" never feels good!
I love siege mode on scorpions as a niche little counter to people playing hackers into them. Makes them much less likely to waste shots at your own converted chaff as well as making it difficult for them to shoot your other units if they get converted given how close the other units tend to be to them.
Struggle convincing myself to play Stormcallers on a good day. Trying Seige-mode Scorpions would be straying far too close to heresy for me! :D
What a game! Seems I need to reconsider my opinion on wasp carry.
I was pleasantly surprised how effective they were! We were a tad lucky that he delayed going Anti-Air on his Mustangs until the final round so we had time to develop our Fire Stormcallers as an answer to them though.
did not expect that twist.
Haha! The sight of people betting against me always gives that little extra pinch of motivation to prove everyone wrong! Had to go all out.
Perhaps the biggest strength of the hacker, from what I've seen as a noob, is that it can hack small units and make the big shot units focus and waste their shots on them. So they hack a small unit, and all your snipers and scorpions shoot at it, and by that point the next small unit is hacked. I wonder, why don't people go for the distributed hacker as an anti small unit unit
Yeah those hackers were surprisingly effective at making our slow shooters like Scorps and Snipers waste their shots! Multi-hack comes at a hefty range penalty and each hacker beam only works at 15% efficiency so it's slower too. Can still be good but needs a much sturdier front line buying them time to be effective. Otherwise you're just stealing 6 Fangs at a time that all die to Tank or Scorpion shells.
holy moly what an anime comeback :D
epic video
Thanks :D Was a fun game!
Nice come back !! GG !
Thanks, this was a very satisfying one to play!
0:52 "He's not spent his quick supply money"
Uh... he has four sets of crawlers. Which means he spent 150 of it to mass recruit on turn 1. :P
Good spot, dunno how I missed that at the time. In my defence Maths is hard! One, two, many, lots!
@@Drone_101 That may have been why you were constantly behind the tempo on chaff. You got out-chaffed on round 1 and didn't notice it. Fun to see you pull it out though even after the rough start.
New DRN 🕺🏻💃🏻 NEW DRN 🎉🎊
Hype!
Love your content.
Thanks dude, compliments always make my day! Hope you're having a good one too.
I was confused by your choice of shield fangs instead of front line flood of crawler + replicate. They would have answered the hacker menace somewhat and possibly made him reconsider future stormcallers. Hindsight 20/20 of course.
Early-mid game when I was making the decision which chaff unit to upgrade our opponent took extended range on his Arclights and started levelling them up. Decided I didn't want to risk getting blown out by Carry Arclights. He only had four in the end but Crawlers really struggle vs Level 2 Arclights and Stormcallers with splash will be just as good vs the Crawlers as soon as they get tied up.
We could definitely have tried to force more Crawlers onto the field but our main issue was poor chaff clear more than our own chaff under performing. Just my thoughts anyway! I'm far from perfect and I'm sure missed a fair few opportunities to swing this game in our favour earlier.
@@Drone_101 Thanks for replying! Good point on the Arclights, I guess I focused on dealing with hacker way too hard, I really struggle with those.
Always love a DRN video. What is it with you and Marksmen. I randomly saw an old RAT video for one of your games. Even then, you were buying Marksmen instead of chaff clear. 😂
Haha, no idea why I always seem to end up with Marksmen instead of chaff clear! I just like their big guns that go Pew-Pew. Big brain moment, if you have enough of them - they ARE chaff clear!
@@Drone_101 waiting to see you play the new FFA mode!
Good game!
Thanks, was far far too close for comfort though!
Mmm, love when a match ends in fire. Very nice comeback, the wasps were able to survive both stormcallers and hackers, which helped them not have that traitor-execution-stagger the fangs tend to get.
With your mention of preferance for phoenix over marksman (heh) early on this game, why didn't you pivot to that? Is it just that they'd be a mirror with less experience, or were the snipers already in play too much of a commitment to make that pivot?
Yeah, was a satisfying fight back for sure! The Phoenix vs Sniper choice is close enough to be debatable, so if I've already got two snipers and don't want to spend the 50 to unlock Phoenixes I'll just accept my lot and work with what I've got. If we had gone War Factory I might've bought a set to tech them so when we pump them out en masse they can have a bigger impact. Money is always the limiting factor!
@@Drone_101 So more that you'd already put a commitment to sniper then, gotcha. A 'replacement' pivot by selling the snipers would probably have then fallen into the mirrored but less experience problem then, yeah? And / or removing experience from your board is not great (maybe unless the unit's been thoroughly countered). In this match, your sale of the typhoons came in clutch, but that was more because they had levels and you got them at a steal so not really the same scenario.
@@WerdnaTheRed Yeah, you can only sell one unit per turn so I'd rather be re-shaping and recycling higher cost units that've been hard countered or wouldn't be effective than stressing about Snipers unless we really didn't have anything better to do that turn. I'm probably more likely to take Overlord with Range if I want a bigger ranged pivot away from the ground based Snipers. Yes they're equally not great into Phoenixes but they can massively out scale them in the late game!
Ok... watching Mechabellum match on a 69'' screen is nice. Looks more like a chess match. 😂
That's not a screen, that's a wall!
Cheeky ignite on the fangs would have cleared the hackers surprisingly fast. Also mech rage late arriving typhoons would have shredded his back line and with barrier the aoe storms would have done no dmge. Regen armor wraiths might have also beaten his AA game and cleared chaff just food for though. Curious on how you use the new enhancement module with its new stat buffs
Not sure our fangs even got to shoot at anything other than hacked units being honest! :D Good call on the Wraiths blocking the Mustang fire, would've been an option for next turn, but will admit I'm not a fan of buying them into fully developed Phoenixes with levels.
Really like the change to enhancement module now, but I do tend to still use it for a similar role as before. Just feels less bad when it gets stuck on a unit that you can't afford to sell or fails to hit the level up you expected! Thanks for watching as always.
@@Drone_101 I have had massive success using the new module with any unit that has mech rage for some reason the dmge health increase just gives so many fast firing units or sledge's so much staying power. Cheese(Cheers*) I love your content and even if you move to another game I'll watch.
I very much enjoy your vocabulary and verbosity. Please don't turn it down :
Cheers! Editing DRN was just bantering and poking a bit of fun at me :D
Well with that title I expected a deep analysis why your opponent did something, that shouldn't be possible. Only after you directly said "I hate Hackers!" while pointing your mouse to it, I realized you mean the unit, not the cheater.
Maybe I need another coffee ...
Haha, sorry! Is funny that they named the unit Hacker and they're a heavily despised unit to boot! One of the things I've really appreciated about Mechabellum is that I've not noticed any cheating, I'm sure it's possible in some way but I've never seen it. Much prefer winning and losing in a fair game any day of the week!
DRN using storm callers, joining the dark side ?
You were meant to bring balance to Mechabellum not join the dark side!
