mass drayds

hi all,

First of all: this is about RoC - not tft.

I've been testing a few things with nelf and a mate of me told that mass drayds works well against every matchup or race

In my opinion its only effectif against human, where huntz + mass drayds is quite common in RoC.

I just want to have some feedback from you pro's about what u think of nelf going DH + PotM + mass drayds vs all races.

He states that drayds are so good because of:

- cheap

- magic immuun

- slow poison

- advantage from PotM aura

- extra damage to summons

I think they are kinda weak because of the unarmored type (extra damage from piercing and siege in RoC)

Thnx for some feedback

Thomas|||You know mass dryads is one of those things that I never really figured out why its popular.

You did a great job of stating the benefits, but, dryads are still more of a support unit type then a unit that should be massed by themselves.

they have low hp, they are unarmored (siege absolutely tears dryads apart), they do low damage, and the poison doesnt stack (as far as the decrease in speed goes).

with all that said though, theres some situations where they do well. Against anyone with mass casters, they can hold their own. Against heavy air, obviously, since any magic damage cant hurt them. They also are NEs only real solution to handling mass summons.

Personally, the only time I mass dryads is as a counter in FFAs. Mass dryads is really the only strat that counters NE's Chippo (Chims and Hippos) as none of the units in that strat can hurt a dryad. They also fair quite well against the ever so popular mass air as undead FFA technique. The other time they do quite well in FFAs is against humans. Humans often mass AoE, tanks, and griffs (none of which can hurt dryads). Its not my default FFA build, but I do switch to mass dryads quite often late game.|||this is ROC... in roc heavy air has piercing dmg and magic immunity doesn't protect vs magic dmg, so units like talons can attack dryads.

Dryads - useful vs orc but NEVER EVER OMG ZOMG EVER make them vs ud

fiends and gargs or zomg wyrms will eat you|||I think that even against orc, dryads die quick

Raider (siege) > dryads

(almost every orc makes raiders)

or not?|||Yes, and as far as I know, Dryads also do reduced damage against Raiders due to the Raider's armor type. And Ensnare means you can't do hit-and-runs on the Raiders.

(Well, technically you can, but you'll probably lose units)|||yea thing, so mass dryads isnt that effectif

i personally mass them only vs human with huntz as meatshields|||Quote:
