Orc Strats against Griffens?

[Threeboy]

any good tactics for defending/attacking against gryphon riders?

 

[RageWinterchill]

Unfortunately, the very best way of dealing with Gryphons is to make sure they don't get them in the first place. Or if they do, keep the numbers small.

 

[Threeboy]

Thats what I thought! Gotta keep the heat on I guess.

now, i had like 24 wyvrens and a guy had like 18 gryphons, and i almost lost, i came out with 6 wyvrens.... What the ****s up with that????? Every race has an AIR ANTIAIR unit, but orc just got ****ing headhunters.. Dont do much against chims do they anyone? didnt think so. Wyvrens suck

 

[Emperor Pan I]

I woulda said purge the ****ers then attack with lusted wyverns. Other than that, Orc sucks against air. Damn you blizzard!

 

[Threeboy]

do the kodo war drummers help?

 

[Emperor Pan I]

ya, the wardrum affects all unit in the auras range

And that is actually Orcs' best counter for arguably the game's best anti-air unit: the Gargoyle. Alas, Gargs are melee range, so they have to get in close. Purge, they're not going anywhere. Bloodlust, and they're taking major pain. *sigh* Sucks for UD...

I know, it hurts to give away strats to defeat the mighty scourge!

Wyvrens and bloodlust or wyvrens and healing wards or a combination of both should take out gryphons easily.

It doesn't help either that they don't have loadsa health.

who gargs or wyverns.

Because gargs will kill wyverns without purge. and with a DK with coil to heal em, and duel aura on gargs....

 

[Samsara]

no matter what if u against air with orc id kiss your ass goodbye. the only way to counter is by rushing early and keep applying pressure.

Grifs, I think. But the Hammers of Hell are brutal against most.

 

[GimGim]

kill him before he mass gryphon riders

 

[x42bn6]

Rage said that before.

True, final units are extremely deadly to face, but if you're dedicated, it won't stop you from doing so.

 

[VBadGirl]

well..i gotta say...mass casters and lvl 3 chain cuts through them. u can add in some raiders for ensnare. I also found that HH works pretty nice also.

 

[Silynt Rage]

I'm all for Orc anti-air sucking, there Melee is the best you can get in the game... although humans are pretty good, you can upgrade the hell out of a footman... Anyways


you said you had like 24 Wyvs, and they had 18 and you came out with 6? I really don't think I need to do the math for you on that one... he lost all 18 of his gryphs and you lost 18 of your wyvs... that's good numbers for him, that could be due to simple micro... you didn't own him, he just had better micro than you.

 

[x42bn6]

That's true, but losing 18 Wyvs/Gryphs? If that happened, *phew*.

 

[VBadGirl]

"you can upgrade the hell out of a footman"..try it against an upgraded skelly..u'd be surprised.
