I like Decimus’ aggression and I like that many of use Leader abilities are passive because as I learn him I don’t ever really misuse them lol. But after I just played my very first game I didn’t get to use Decimus Drop because the game was too close to being finished. He didn’t seem like he was so terrifying like Kinsano’s Mech or the Hunter Captain which are the ones I’m most familiar with. I’d like some general advice on Decimus as a Leader but also specifically Decimus the Hero too.
Decimus is mainly based around bigger attack values and siphon to restore health from attacks for his troops.The Decimus leader is an upgrade to his warlord having the same ability to drag units into close combat and has much bigger attack and defense.
i stream decimus at twitch nults3593 you but the .tv and / and .com b4 but they dont allow links i dont think currently #1 on leaderboards with decimus im soopa tinkle
The strength of Decimus comes from his passives. Now with this new patch, killing frenzy is so great. Have you seen two grunts with killing frenzy take on a power node? Once one gets the buff, the grunt squad knocks out half the health of one sentinel in a second.
I havent tried fury yet but Vortex lighting and Siphon are musts. With vortex lighting, the buff allows for a 2 second stun, armor drop, and damage inflicted. See a group bunched together, bring your troops in and fight. Use it, especially with killing frenzy, and units get shredded like paper.
Siphon is your healing circle. But with the update, more health is siphoned so if you want your units alive, you need it.
The Decimus ultimate unit is so much better now! He can take more hits and deals more damage. Like the Warlord, he can stun and bring in units to him so they can’t run away. I wish I recorded it but one time he took down a little army of rangers, hunters, and reavers with some engineer support. With some grunts to back up Decimus he was able to take out all the ground troops with ease.
Attack, attack, attack! You’re going to have to be aggressive with Decimus. With no major offensive leader powers, except for glassing beam, unit for unit, he will be stronger.
Rush and stay on it. Fury is crazy good. A handful of grunts can take a expo (T1) down rather fast. Rush an dont let up.
