HOW TF DO I DEAL WITH THE MONKEY LORD?!

[BatteryJuice]

so im not exactly new to the game but i play UEF and my friend plays cybran, so how would someone who plays UEF deal with the monkey lord.?

[bobes sponja]

fortified artillery and shield generators. research harden mode for fortified artillery and activate it on all of the f. arty. if it held off a hard AI's crex spam for me it will hold off a monkeylord too

If they get air to counter your arty-shield wall just research anti air land units and make a land factory produce them and move them right behind the wall

what about nukes?
Monkeylords are pretty slow

also by the time they build a monkey lord, you should have 2 or 3 king kriptors out or 4-5 fatboys, which will all take out a monkeylord.

if you charge them head on maybe not, but they are faster and can out range them easily, techincally if you had a big enough map and no other enemies, you could kill it with 1 fatboy, just keep the monkey lord just in range of the fatboy, the monkeylord cannot fire back.

The point is, for the cost and time it takes to build a monkeylord, you should have built more than enough units to deal with it, unless your caught off guard by one, then your pretty much knackered, but then that would be a failing in your stratergy.

If you're playing as the UEF several AC-1000s should be able to whittle it down while you move larger forces such as king kriptors and fat boys into play. If you're on a map with water user poseidons and mastodons to hit it with long range fire while using AC-1000s to hit it from above. if you can, use disposable land units to slow its advance to use nukes on it but remember it takes 13 nukes to bring it down from full health so make sure you have at minimum 3 launch facilites.

If you want, we can test out multiple ways to take it down so you get better at it

welp I mostly play without nukes. they can work too, but my one is not just a temporary solution

The Monkeylord's only strength is it's massive durabilty, but it is slow and shortranged, and it lacks AA weaponry.

The best way would be kiting it with Fatboy, which can stay out of its reach whilst firing, or you plainly attack with your Air units.

But good cybrans will escort their MLs with Bomb Bouncers and/or loads of ADVs, making both strategies relatively useless. Then, i suggest, you should use minor land units and rush under the shields. Powerdetonation/Megablast is still a problem thought, but the ML can fire at max. 3 targets at once, leaving it vulnerable for swarming attacks.

If nothing of that works, use the good old C&C defensive nuke and blast away his escort to get free sight at that wannabe-Spider. But don't use nukes to directly attack the Monkeylord, as it will cost you around 13.000 Mass to kill it, whereas a Monkeylord just cost 3.000. Obvisously no good deal.

If you have good Radar coverrage and send out scouts frequently you should have enough time to take one down and prepare for a counter attack.

But most of the games, a player gets eliminated or wins before he has a chance to construct his first ML.

Illuminate have way better way to deal with an ML thought, as they have long-ranged capturing, Flying Bombardment bases (Darkenoid), Stealthed Assassins with a bunchlaod of HP (Sooprizer), Sniperbots, Teleport and WIlfindjas which can kite and kill an ML easily.
