Cybran kinda guy

[rockoe10]

So I've tried to mix up my faction diversity, and my skill level was found to be much less than what it shows when using other factions other than cybran. the tactics that I try to use are more suited to cybran tactics than any other. Has anyone else found this to be true for them? Not solely Cybran but for other factions as well?

its hard for me to think that each faction would be so much different.

just need to keep in mind what is different (well everything is different)
but you have to remember that you have to micro differently, that t1 arty is different, that your frig will not have much aa...

also for sera some unit costs are little different, when you make t1 arty or t1 scout, fac consumes -5 instead of -4, and that is actualy nice for ajacency, i think it is same with t2 sera bots

you have to remeber that that you have speed 5 amphibius units or riptides

also other faction ACUs are much better for fighting cause of t2+gun+vets+ shield/regen .... t2+vets is already epic tho

you also would like to have strong radar creep with sera and aeon

but mostly i think unit micro is different, in case of eco there is not much difference

Well, when it comes down to it, the Mantis is the fastest of the t1 "heavy" class and you can mess up micro without too high a penalty if they need to intercept an attack. If you play UEF the tanks are significantly slower and you'll never catch a raid with them if you do not know how to intercept properly...

It takes a lot of time to get the feel. I never memorized numbers (although it's becoming evident to compete with 1700+ it may be necessary) and it took a LONG time to get the hang of it...

Cybran best faction

[IceDreamer]

Yes. I can play every faction, but the UEF just suits my more patient, slow and steady approach to engagements. I really love eeking out tiny advantages bit by bit, and the UEF is totally built for attrition warfare, slow but ultimately unstoppable when done right.

Same boat, cybran all the way.

I try other races, but cybran just clicks better. Not to mention I like their tactical methods better. Stealth + high RoF + splash > all.

Cybran tends to reward aggressive and high APM play styles. Seraphim is just bone crushing head on force. UEF is slow, methodical, and requires a mix of many units working together, but is ultimately probably the strongest faction in the mid-late game. Aeon rewards good micro-management paired with a late-game leaning strategy involving a lot of air, and is not really suited for early game t1 engagements.

After a break of several months, I started playing 1v1 with Aeon again. First battles were mostly losses because I couldn't put the micro and macro management together and also because I sometimes used the Auroras as Mantisses

Then you lose the Auroras as quickly as your opponent would lose his tanks when you use the auroras well. First really good wins (in which I used the Aeon truly as Aeon) came eventually, on Theta Passage.

I think I can easily play every faction's style, but it takes a bit of time to get used to it. Now, I'm used to Aeon.

I like to play as UEF because I think they have the coolest units, but I think my play style is more suited to Seraphim. I like to throw my ACU into combat early and keep attacking without stopping to compose a balanced force or anything like that. But I hate playing seraphim, their units are so boring!

[BRNKoINSANITY]

UEF and Seraphim ACUs have the same early game upgrades and basically the same play style, so there shouldn't be much difference between the factions for you.
