I feel like you should’ve mentioned forge and Johnson can do a hellbringer rush with a pelican drop and Arbiter enforcer rush.A good way to stop a rush as banished is having suicide grunts ready. Most important is scouting tho
Just faced one. Simply go for supplies and mini bases at a rapid rate to counter. Against a yapyap, you collect supplies faster, but spend 100 per unit. So 1 extra unit only, then a late 2nd extra is perhaps idea. Build a colony leader then detroy either before of after upgrade to colony
Some good tips there! My additions would be: As Banished, against Forge, Kinsano and Jerome, build choppers. Y ability ram damage against early vehicles is broken, and it staggers/ cancels Kinsano's "Y". If you notice barracks/ raid camps pumping units, build choppers or jackrabbits. I believe due to weapon and armour types they do bonus damage against rush units. Mines can be effective at decimating rushes and providing limited visability on likely attack routes to help you prepare. If against a Hunter/ Goliaths, try to do as much damage to the goliaths en route as possible so they pop their engingeer swarm too soon. Against Shipmaster, always build two watchtowers on your base in case they go for a hero rush. Johnson bunkers no longer take crazy damage from mine and turret drops, but they can still half health the bunker. If against him, either build some building killers in advance, or tech to 2 for cloaking/ smokes. Yaps will always try to steal your minis. Jeromes like to mass infantry ealry rush (so they can mastadon them up later), so dont go too heavy into the anti infantry as a bit later on you will need anti vehicle. Broken and you'll always struggle with. Serina parking her icecream truck in front of your base. Anti vehicle turrets can help but they are rendered pretty useless with freeze #needsfixing! Yap Yap - as soon as his hero unit and broken invulnerabilty/ heals appear, its game unless you have built for it (which is pretty hard to do)! #needsfixing! Lastly, many, many players will go air (becuase it's broken) following a rush. Prepare according! See you all out there.
I can agree with the fact that mirage is really small and is arguably the worst map, but last week, me and my brother won a 70 minute game on mirage as Colony and Jerome
I've had a match that lasted 12 hours in HW1. 3v3. Both of my partners died at 3 hours and 7. It was a 1v3 until i lost at 12 hours. We kinda just countered and turtled until like halfway.
Dude i have a buddy who only uses super units (Serena&Condor) gets tech 3 at 10 mins and then a condor at 12 ish. Its so fucking annoying. Lol. Hard to counter that that early on imo.
@@evanpeters7594 Rushing is not a good strategy it's just a cheap one. It's a braindead tactic and unless you prepare for it the first second of the match someone can be on top of your base with a full pop of hell bringers in 2 minutes. An rts game being over in under 5 minutes is not strategic or tactical it's just cheap. Anyone can watch a UA-cam video on how to rush on unsuspecting players. But having a real hour long push and pull battle and coming out on top takes a level of skill and brainpower most rushers don't have. No rusher will ever get any respect from me. The fact this game makes it so easy to do is crazy to me but then again most game companies appease braindead players these days. I'm not saying to not play aggressively and rushing at like 7-8 minutes with tanks, infantry, air and etc. Is fine. But if you are one of those people like I said who are on top of someone's base with hell bringers or jump pack brutes like 2 minutes into the game and you just spam them you are scum case closed.
On top of the scouting potential of a jackrabbit they have detection which is nice. Funny short story I once left a jackrabbit on a base to die once and it actually destroyed the base. They never noticed it.
I think another important tip is making sure your opponent doesnt steal a near by mini. As voridus with combat spoils i always use my recourse on the nearest mini so I can quickly pump out more units closer to the enemy.
In the years that I’ve been playing halo wars 2 i’ve always had this strategy of just getting a leader out whenever I am getting rushed and it has always worked for me I’m surprised you didn’t mention heroes as a good counter to rushes but yeah I’ve used that little strategy since day one if I see a whole bunch of scouts or infantry I just get up my leader cause the only leaders that can’t hold back a rush by themselves are shipmasters elite and yap yap because you need more than one for them to be affective
I feel like I win games more when I get a second base before tech 2. It gives better map control and bases really aren’t that expensive to build. Is this actually wrong to do?
11 minutes of explainig leaders that can rush you, and just 4 minutes of the part of the video we care about and what the tittle of the video tells you xd
After playing both games online , I still think halo wars the original is better than the 2nd . It just feels like there was way more thought and effort put into it. And they took a lot out for halo wars 2 which is still blowing my mind
He understands that a match with no rush can be good. I love that
Nah, in my opinion it's so boring, finish a game after 7min. To be honest, it's not pretty hard.
I like the long sessions, with really war. 😋
I love long matches too. It’s crazy when you take so many bases and your team and theirs pretty much swap sides.

Suicide grunts 👍
Get phantoms full of suicide grunts and deploy them at peoples bases 😎
The worst kind of player is the one who leaves the game after they realize that the stupid cannon fodder rush isn't going to work

I'm saying one thing. Just send a scout lol. Xd
Pretty much, lol
K
True but then that might provoke them to rush then and there
but the jackrabbit cost too muchhhhhhhh
@@bestboyf Bro, if you know then you can prepare rather than waiting utill they have full population army
1. Turrets
2. Micro manage units
Or you can just fast tech and get vehicles
Oh my, thank you!! This can be so annoying and game breaker sometimes. Thank you for getting back to basics. It is really helpful
Very helpful sir I thank you. I've had problems with everything you've mentioned. Keep it coming!
My friend found a dirty little combo. Suicide grunts + teleport pretty much guarantees they wont be splitting or killing them with snipers.
This video was how to counter rushes and he told you what leaders are best for rushing
Sound advice. Had a few good ones today. A few shockers, too.
Rush players be like “I love never using any cool units or leader abilities and having the exact same experience every single time”
To qoute a Bo Burnham heckler conversation:
'I'm sorry.'
'I'm not.'
In this scenario, it's you... and the other player.
Love this game feel like it's making a comeback

To stop a rush is only use anti vehicles and anti Infantry
thanks for the help, this helped me out alot :)
Glad it helped!

Helping boost the algorithm
best counter for an early rush is an early rush.... longer games are fun but will be lucky to get one or two in a whole day of play...
We need more dad's jokes 😂

@@kaydenlewis9246 We were all really good turtles
How to counter a rush? Scout, ya welcome😅
You ain't wrong!

what does expoing mean?
Snipers are great for stopping Goliaths
dude my friend always rushes me with a army of hellbringers and ends the game like that ITS SO ANNOYING 😭😭😭
Random comment for the UA-cam algorithm.
Hi how many people this game player base? 900-1000 or more?
Fairly easy actually, If I scout a rush I just build a turret and the counter to it
This video is about three years too late
Hc is really good

Rush them first simple as
Ooooo
Who likes games that are long as 199 mins
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You dont
Oh
I dont think rts games are meant to be fast paced, long games are more fun to me
Yea
i despise rush it ruins the strategy in the game its just throw a multitude of shit at people
(thank you for the video)
It doesn’t ruin strategy, it is a strategy, it’s just a really good one

It’s not it’s just spam one unit because I know the meta builds
Or quit
No u
Meh, I would prefer to lose a game insted of quitting the game. It's a shame and bad for your mates.
Not very Honor Courage & Commitment of you.

you just named almost every hero methinks xD
I NOTICED THAT TOO! lemme show you some heros that favor rushing.... LISTS 90% OF THE LEADERS
I just scout and make sure to place at least 2 turrets
If they have a yep yep make hellbringers
