- Today I'm determined to find a way to make Typhoons work, especially with this new Specialist joining the battlefield. What if we paired them with Overlords?

Overlord Typhoon works because typhoons are decently tanky chaff clear and overlords (with chin gun) do the DPS on big ground. Both units cover each overs weaknesses.
That seemed to be the case for me too. Helps that they both advance at comparable rates and have roughly comparable weapon ranges.
@@kdog3908 yeah, the relatively short range (100 iirc) and the speed they advance makes it work. It keeps the vulnerable units behind them and the typhoons kill chaff off that would distract the heavy hitters.
I feel like melting points would beat them if positioned right but they beat basically everything they really need to be tweaked
@@jacksmith-vs4ct Typhoons don't beat everything. They beat chaff and they're ok against everything else but they die to anything that kills bigger units. They fill a similar role to Vulcans.
@@novembermike512he was talking about melting point :)
that ion blast at 10:40 was orgasmic :D
in the last round the fangs screwed over the tarantulas and sabres because of their range upgrade, it looked like it couldve been close if they stayed in formation
but in general overlord / typhoon is strong cuz they can shoot both air and ground, and where typhoon single target damage is lacking, overlords pick up the slack and vice versa. the late chaff waves are also alive longer because the first waves die and fire is now being directed at typhoon shields
you should also try putting a rhino in the mix so it arrives just behind the chaff so the opponent has to shoot the typhoon shields, then the chaff, then the rhino, all while typhoons and boats are just ripping shit up
"I still want to make typhoon work but I don't know if I can"
80-90% of games that typhoons show up in, the game suddenly becomes how to kill the typhoons effectively, lol. I think they'll adjust them at some point.
Funny how you stumbled upon the current most OP build in high level mmr play, Typhoon+overlord :D
People are doing it at all ELOs, you don't need to be high ELO to copy and paste Sacco's board.
Shotout to you, Grubby! Love your content and paying up for it on twitch
In most cases, synergy works in such a way that different units compensate for each other's weaknesses.
But not here.
In this case units reinforce each other's strong points.
"About 3" 😂
Ive been enjoying lifelink sledges + mothership overlords and having the shield upgrade for wasps to tank melters.
I just started paying, so maybe it doesn't work in higher mmr.
Typhoon my fav unit, but instead of barrier which is good i usually start with homing missile just for fun, and very often it works as its extra chaw clear and also killing bigger units, try it out :P ive posted some videos of that on my youtube too, cheers hope you get them work!
Addictive game 😎 im 16 hours in. I am getting poor frames though with my 3060 TI
can anyone actually explain why typhoon overlord is good?
Typhoons effectively clear the way for Overlords, and the Overlords themselves deal significant damage. In the current patch, both the Overlord's artillery and the Typhoon's shields are exceptionally strong. You may not even need additional units beyond a swarm of Crawlers to support this strategy.
They also have very similar Movement speed, so they keep formations easier
in addition to typhoons clearing for overlords and overlords being good single target damage, overlords are also good into most of the things that people rely on to counter typhoons (stormcaller, scorpion, fortress) and if you have typhoons opponent probably won't make wasp/mustangs which opens up mothership on boats in addition to the cannon tech
farseer and phoenix are good against it imo
Since some update I dislike current meta. No way around chaft and Stormcallers. Dislike fangs, crawlers and stormcallers. They've made game one dimentional. All games since 0.9 patch are just swarms
