whats the fastest scarab build. the fastest i have gotten is with colony and started the scarab at 6:45

harvester, upgrade on finish
2nd harvester upgrade on finish
extractor
extractor
extractor
upgrade all 3 when you get enough power
grab a mini and make a harvester, upgrade that harvester

once tech 2 build a 4th extractor and war councel
upgrade that 4th extractor

if you do it right you can have a scarab building at about 6:45

by 9:30 2 and by 10:00 2 fully skittered scarabs

now just build you captain.and mass engineers

anyone got a faster build

um vs good players it would never work but vs average players it us quite fun.

2 problems, first you instant lose to rushes, 2nd air is a hard counter and with banshwe spamming so popular it hardly works.

just a fun little build i screw with sometimes

4

You don’t rush a scarab without being pumped because they are quite bad solo without being Atriox or Colony.

What you do is stale till late game where 2 scarab 13 engi’s becomes unbeatable for those two heroes.

5

I think fastest way is to double base as Atriox. All supply pads on first base, all power on 2nd base. And then pray you don’t get attacked.

6

Too risky! :flushed:

If you don’t build any units you’re be dead in 5 minutes.

THATS WHY I SAID IT DOES NOT WORK IN HIGH LEVEL PLAY

i was simply asking if anyone here knows a faster build. doing it as atreox can get the scarab about 20 seconds faster, with a expansion up. i wish the scarab was a bit better, seems to die to air really fast but who am i to say that.

I cannot for the life of me remember who it was but someone did a Scarab skitterer rush and beat me 2x in a row. It was 8:10 when it came out. The skitterer are VERY effective, then the hunter captain us just icing on the cake… Beatable, but very strong start If executed well in 1s.

What was your strategy? After getting my CSR past 1800 in 1s, I don’t often have games where there’s not pressure before 6 minutes. Unless someone is abusing the Atriox double fortifications and just going for fast expansions instead of an army.

I’ve seen players do a similar thing, but with Johnson. His perks are actually perfect for turtling and pulling a condor rush.
They do a similar build, put turrets all over the base, then bunker the leader near your base.

Hard to imagine that working against a high-level player. I usually get attacked in first 4-6 mins.

Yeah, It wouldn’t.

This works in 3s. Especially against people who rush. Did it in a random match for the hell of it. One of team mates was rushed by all 3 players of the other team. I got the scarab out a little later because I was building suicide grunts and couple rangers and hunters to stall the rush (still around the 7 minutes). We kept his quick expo alive long enough for my scarab to just about drop on the battlefield and he quits as soon as he loses the 2nd base. He didn’t have much into it -.-

So my other team mate quits because that guy quits. Now its 1v3. I quickly pick off what’s left of the forces with the scarab, rangers and hunters and immediately walk right over to their bases and took out about 3 bases before the army of cyclops and air came in. More than likely could of won the game with a 2nd team mate…but was still a fun trial.

Obviously these guys weren’t that great but it’s fun to try out different things when the opposing team’s rank isn’t too high. Won’t be able to do that in the patch coming up though. Going have to treat every match like you are going up against the best!
