Factional 1v1 Guides

[Sir Prize]

Well yes, good bomber micro is basic stuff and I never said you needed to have advanced stuff down, but if you don't do it and you're scouted by someone who cares about their engies, you won't kill many. Like it says in the guide

You are right!

I am not an expert, but i would add a thing:

"kill the Auroras from the sky - "
> use split attack (SHIFT+G) from bombers to kill them efficiently
"Or get Tech 2 before your enemy either starts to get dominance with Auroras or their own Tech 2"

http://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?tit ... Guide#Aeon

I think the split attack with t1 bombers is very effective against players of my rating(1200) including myself playing mostly aeon.You just need to send 4 bombers and they will almost always kill a group of 8 -12 Tanks. Against Auroras it's even more devastating. Even in the early t2 stage it's an option.

Oh man. The fact that I forgot to add "make bombers" to the Cybran 1v1 guide in the part for dealing with Aeon T1 is pretty shameful... I'm going to finish this guide off now, then maybe start expanding on the Aeon one.

Cybran guide is done in draft form, I hope some better-than-me players can have a good look and improve it a bit.

As a cybran player, I think they are the best counter to aeon. Kiting with hoplites is DEADLY to auroras, since the splash kills them as they are bunched up, stealth can keep your opponent on their feet for this kiting, and Shift + g with mantis into a hoard of auroras works really well. Using Shift + G is key if you want to push on your opponent, you get a lot of mantis into range very quickly and they shred auroras to bits. Also Loyalists can easily counter all t2 aeon units, which is another good method for kiting
