Hey community,
Today we’re celebrating the continued success of Commander xRetri, who claimed his second consecutive tournament win and took home the prize of a £20 Steam Wallet Code!
xRetri led his faction into battle, coming across his most formidable opponent since Forged Battalion launched on Early Access. Yet, he prevailed, showing his grit and determination, even when the tide of battle wasn’t in his favour.
We also took this opportunity to get xRetri’s top tips on the best units to use in your army
Congratulations on your second consecutive win! Was victory comfortable or hard earned this time round?
Thanks! I felt a lot less pressure this time around. I was only worried in one game.
One game is all it takes in a knockout tournament! Were you close to losing? What happened
The Semi-Finals against Netput was probably the hardest game I’ve played since release. He used a unique build order and composition which no-one had even thought of, I was definitely not expecting the rush. I only won because of how strong turrets are and a small misclick by Netput.
I highly recommend everyone watch the match between myself and Netput! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn-7FkP49HE&t=16s
Did you deploy a different army for tournament two than tournament one? If you made changes, what were the defining factors?
Just two.
Laser is gone thank God, so a current popular tactic is Tier 1 rocket buggies. Through some testing we realised MG buggies actually beat rocket buggies 1 on 1 in Tier 1, so I use MG now since it's more cost effective.
I also started to mix in proton artillery with my normal artillery, proton debuff stronk at the moment.
What are the top three units/mods that you feel players should be using in their faction?
Ballistic Artillery with Improved Armour - Nerf or buff other area-of-effect please.
Healing Infantry with Improved Armour - With the prevalence of artillery, backing up and healing is a necessity.
I can't decide on the third one so I’m going to cheat and give two more.
Proton Artillery Turret with Improved Armour - Best base defence in the game and allows you to base crawl and put pressure on at the same time.
Rocket Air with Improved Armour - Most versatile air unit that allows air control and harassment.
Do you think you can make it three tournament victories in a row?
The Tier 4 tech tree will change everything. So, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
