Okay…I’ve played a lot of games I’m decent not great, but the hunter captain, imo is way too much. I don’t want to play someone who gives me fits everytime, I mean don’t want to do the whole can’t beat him join him thing. But I seriously think the hunter captain is redic. Not just in garrison, that’s a whole nother issue. His hunters brand won’t let you dodge it. With his heal you can’t take him down. He sucks in condors somehow.
I had an 80 pop of snipers flames and whatever else I could think of to take him down and obvi this is not healthy to just take down one hero considering what else might be out there. And I could still not take him down. Do I just have to avoid him? Cause thats stupid. If anyone has suggestions I’d love to hear it. I play cutter almost every time.
there was a match where i used 6 canaster shells and some tanks to poop on him so its not impossible but yea dont cant typically beat him with a infantry based army while he has a supporting army
his y ability on the other hand i will agree is a bit to good, it redirects all fire to him and reduces damage taken plus dealth. letting your army fire sagely and usually win.
again his devistating host is sooooooo good its actually pretty op i mean 2 3 stared hunters my gosh with a little shroud eng support its gg

It’s almost like dealing with another scarab…but at basically less than a quarter of the cost, plus you have to worry about him in a garrison. Seriously if there is anything in missing I’d like to know.
I’m not good enough at the game where I feel like my personal experiences with the game are accurate indications of game balance. But I do feel like I’ve had armies stronger than that struggle. Either way I don’t run into them enough to get very frustrated. Its weird though, I was playing a 2v2 where an opponent sent his HCapt into my partner’s garrison. And he somehow killed it and he isn’t even good. I dunno.
“you’ve all run the simulations, they’re tough but they ain’t invincible. Stay with the Chief, he’ll know what to do”
I think a 'major’ issue for people is that you can’t see enemy unit veterancy like you could in HW1. If you could see that Hunter Captain is gaining stars you would engage him differently. If i see a 1star, un-upgraded Hunter Captain i know a small breeze can topple him. An upgraded 3star on the other hand is incredibly dangerous, and if you see that coming you may well change how you approach the engagement.
Also on a side note, try not to ‘feed’ an enemy Hero. Avoid them or leader power-snipe them. Also UNSC Snipers can only shoot into ground level garrisons like the ones on Rift, if they’re the tower garrisons don’t bother using them, use Flamers instead.
