I’m really having some trouble figuring out how to counter the mantis/colossus with a bunch of wolverines. Every time I try to counter with cyclops or air, they get wrecked either by the Mac blast or his units. Very frustrating, and need some assistance on what to do.
A good idea is to make sure to put early pressure on him to prevent him from getting a critical mass of mechs.
If that doesn’t work, Scorpions with Cyclops should help. Try to micro and spread your troops out so that the MAC blast can’t hit them all.

This and siege turrets/kodiaks.
Throw some max warthogs into your army too. They do good damage and can stun the colossus and mechs.

Breezy is right on the money. Another important thing to remember is how slow his colossus are. If he is movong his whole army at once they move at the speed of the colossus which makes them easy targets for leader powers.
Granted, he has mech overcharge but if you can get him to waste mechs overcharge on a leader power, your units stand a better chance when fighting breaks out.
Okay thanks! What is a good rush strategy then with somebody like cutter or forge?
are the mantis and colossus considered infantry or vehicles?

I wouldn’t mention Forge right now the community kinda hates him lol.
That said, a Hellbringer rush should work for either of them. Go 4 Supply and 1 Generator and build a Barracks on a mini-base and start pumping them out.
Wait, is Johnson considered a top 5 leader now or?

300% buff to his Anvil Round makes it a mini nuke to dominate the early game.

His anvil round can get insane multi kills on tier 1 units and severely damage groups of tier 2 units. It’s basically a mini nuke. As for Serena there is currently an exploit for her that I don’t want to mention on here.

What do you mean by tier 2 and 1 units? Please what is the exploit?
Just build anti vehicle. The colossus can’t nuke them down and they melt under sustained fire.

Just Forge hog that -Yoink- up. Doesn’t look like it’s getting nerfed for another couple weeks.

Tier 1 units are units that require no tech upgrades, tier 2 are units that you get at tech level 2. I also won’t reveal the Serena exploit because I don’t want to spread it around more than it already has.

Air helps greatly
try and be as much as diverse as you can
I would go with marines,cyclopes and air units
also try and scatter them around so the mac blast wont take down all of them
So is Johnson actually good now?

Anti-vehicle units? Cyclopes/hunters.
When Mantis hit their T3 update they go green to vehicles and + EMP mech obvious. Then just kite in circles while you fight them.

Serina exploit: Using upgraded ice barrier leader power to freeze enemy base and halt their production. Sorry to ruin your secret club of Serina knowledge
