Noob needs help(on the verge of suicide)

[:1]Probably this has been posted somewhere else but i haven't been able to find it so here goes. I've been playing intense with a friend and i have won most of the time but now he discovered the night elves and just keeps building tons of chimera and hyppo and nothing i do ever seems to beat him he just kills everything ..i am kinda new so i not very good ..A few tips for someone berserk guyss|||what race do you usually play as? remember theres a counter for everything...im not very good myself but it seems to me other racial air units should be able to counter it...mass gargs if your UD for example|||That strategy is called Chippo, though it's pretty useless in 1v1 because you don't have allies to buy you time to do all the teching and stuff..

To counter it as UD, air to air probably won't work since hippo is the best air to air unit(gold/wood/food costs), not to mention the problem with gargs acquiring ground targets first..Mass crypt fiends will work, even mass frosty will work, frosty is simply the best air unit in warcraft 3, an army of 6+ frosty almost ensures victory in every team games.

As HU you can mass master sorceress..most nelf players don't use wisps to dispel, and some doesn't even know wisp can dispel..Rifle-Caster will pwn a teching nelf in early to mid game..

As Orc is easier mass bats + windrider will work, 3-4 bats can kill 10 or so collision-less hippo, and windrider will kill light-armored chimeras in no time.

As nelf/mirror just build sheer number of hippo+dryad, slow poison+hippo = gg|||Quote:

Sorcs are low hp and will die almost instantly to mass griffs. Get some siege tanks with the upgraded anti air attack. It does piercing damage, which is x2 to both chims and hippos. If you build enough of them, you will bring their air down just fine, and then literally steamroll their base.

^ no point in building hippos to counter them. Hippos can only attack air, and dryads are invulnerable to magic attacks. Their entire army will be unable to attack your dryads. Just load up your hero with a few periapts of vitality and invul pots, and you will be just fine.
