flying unit....hippos,chims or fairies?

attaking with flying units helps ..... so whats the best?

 

[Emperor Pan I]

hipporiders are the best. chims are to expensive and slow to get. Fairys are antiair units, so there is no real use in using them unless your opponenet gets casters.

hipporiders aernt best, they are fine against ground, chims own ground and buildings, chim easily own heros, and hipporiders take too long to kill melee units, like grunts, it takes 8 riders about 5 shots each to kill one. i love riders, dont get me wrong, but chims are the better air unit for night elf.

 

[M3_feelin_0wn3d]

talon is good aa and good ground i prefer talon + chim + 3/4 hippo no rider

 

[Emperor Pan I]

But chims can be killed so easily against a good palyer. you can't tell me that an undead player with fiends and gargoyles will not rape them.

why does everyone spell faeries wrong? oh well i would say that it all depended on what your opponent was going faeries are anti-casters good vs shaman and especially helpful against necs. chims would mic well with hipps. so it really depends on your opponent.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Faeries (you happt i spelt it right) are best used versus autocast spells like fairy fire, raise dead and bloodlust to name a few. they can be hellannoying. but they are weak.

 

[ShadowStealer87]

Lol thanks pan you spelled them right. Oh and I agree faeries are weak.

 

[Shizo]

yeah but pan spelled Hella-annoying wrong : )

Faeries are good against anything that uses spells. Not just auto spells.

 

[CitricAcid13]

Druid of the Talon + Chims.... or Chims + Hippo (not riders)... (same upgarde too lol)

I said they were best against autocast, since they will continue to try and cast and continue to have damage dealt to them. obviously they are good for every unit.

 

[darkmoonayr]

I like faerie's mana flare

 

[Shizo]

True Pan, but i stated it, you didnt : )

 

[Forestmage]

mass hippos usually win a game

 

[darkmoonayr]

what do mean, with riders?
hippos and riders attack air ,
chims attack land units and buildings ....

 

[Thistle]

FAERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they are good because of phase out of existance and they are a good anti air (bad damage) but they have lots of spells that are good to use to make up for it

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Faeries are weak, and should only be built for casters, even with phase shift, they are still to weak to take on anything that attacks above the one digit.

 

[Xiode]

Yeah, I agree....I was playing RT once, and this guy kept going fraries despite the fact that they kept getting owned by wyverns....he was too stupid to figure out to go DotT.

 

[CitricAcid13]

I'd still have to go with the fact you have to scout out the enemy. If they have any air go with some hippos (not riders) + chims. With any decent hero you will do pretty well (or as well as you can do with air)

 

[Xiode]

Why does everyone thing hippos own air????? DotT own hippos any day!
