He’s complete rubbish

He doesn’t seem TOO bad off of first impressions. The trick seems to be to exploit mech overcharge. The colossus does leave a bit to be desired against infantry, though.
Overpowered
Every game I’ve played is 3 stacked Johnson’s, and I’m just sitting here building cyclopses and dropping garrisons for them.
Bunker drop is kinda a disappointment since it uses population
Hes
trash… he takes way too long to get going… none of his units can hold their own early game…EMP is pretty solid though…
The free building is op
Ok, yeah. I take it back. He’s awful. Trying to find a viable strategy and failing…

yeah if anyone finds a good way to play him tell me. I’m trying to play defensively but that never seems a good way to play im this game sadly even tho that’s what this leader is supposed to he good at.
I don’t see why the bunker needs to take population its one of his useful abilities but that’s a pretty big downside if it had a turret on top or something then i could see it. (playing banished players they just get melted by locusts fyi) it’s just way to much population in one spot.
The EMP is okay i have only tried with just one point but i was hoping it would act more like Cryo-bomb were some of the aircraft fall out of the sky.
I just don’t see playing defensively winning very often except in objective modes were you can hold a point easier with bunker drop.

Yeah, in order to turtle in this game you need a unit with some insane power, like Isabel’s scorpion. Johnson just doesn’t seem to offer that. However, in the games I have managed to mass colossus, they are VERY powerful.

Yeah I’m having a decent amount of trouble playing him compared to other leaders that’s why i hope someone gives some tips.
use bunkers to control objectives. they’re pretty much worthless without the shield and capacity upgrade. if you drop one under a control point or a energy point you can mitigate damage from sentinels. you can use them to guard your main base also, but they’re really pointless late game. i think they were meant to be used to keep your marines (mechanics) safe and to provide sight for your siege turrets. they dont seem to be very effective as far as his overall kit goes. i wouldnt place them outside of your siege turret range and if you’re going to put units in them i recommend putting units that can attack air units into them.
mantis and colossus are worthless without the mech overdrive ability. dont try putting reactors on one of your bases because it’s a waste of time.
johnson is better at mid game rushing rather than defending until end game. johnson doesnt have any end game units. he might even be better at early game rushing, but i havent tried it.
I used nightingales and a few wolverines but his mantis and colossus take down bases about half as fast as locust

why people with good judgment always has a Cutter picture? Good breakdown.
