Massing Gyrocopters.

[Mordecai2k]

I know everyone thinks doing this is so ridiculous but i do it anyways. I've won at least 5 games doing this.
But i'd like to know what heroes people who do mass gyros with. I usually go with dual AOE. But somtimes i like using the MK and i buy a flame orb.

If Blizzard ever decides to give Gyros a buff i suggest they add a robot form where the gyroBOT has at least 2,500 hp and has a 50-100 attack. This way more people will want to use them.

Gyrocopters are probably my favorite unit in this game. They're affordable and they build very quickly.

Does anyone else love gyros as much as i do? ^^

FOR THE IDIOTS THAT THINK GYROS SUCK I SAY : U SUKKk!111!!1 lol omg np!11

The only reason you've won those games is probably because no one is expecting anyone to use mass gyros. Gyros get crushed so fast by any aa, especially fiends. If an enemy player has 5-6 units of aa in their group, or an aos spell, then the gyros are screwed.

[ShADoW-HawK]

Sounds cool. I always thought of doing that, but thought I would get creamed. So instead, every now and then, I mass morts. It's quite fun to destroy their base, especially when you have an ally to go melee for you.

Your joking right? 2,500 extra hp....?

[Tombo]

If you use gyros and win, then its basically like your bitch slapping your opponent's hope of ever being decent.

[Darkeggy]

The peeps that ride in the gyros are retarded.

[Mtank]

I saw a guy do that once against Darkterror..sorry, Viscount.

He was crushed in 15 seconds flat.

Massing Gyrocoptors only works, if, as rightly said before, your opponents arent expecting it...

But I suppose along with Gyros you cant go Pally, cause them most of his powers are useless....Blood mage or archmage would be a nice combo...but then you already know that...

[Scauthra]

In a 4v4 I had to make tanks. When we were finishing the players, chimes were on the other side of the map wiping out bases. I had no TP and I had the most efficent AA. So I qued up 2 Gyros in both workshopws who intercepted and wiped out the Chimes. They are crap units but do have great advantages.

[Darkeggy]

It might have been the tanks. Barrage isn't bad.
EDIT: Oops, forgot chims can't hit the copter, i guess its better against chims.

[Mordecai2k]

Ok maybe 2,500 is a little too much. I think i'll deduct 700 hp. But then we'd have to increase the attack to 100-200. It's only fair. ^^

[Schwitzer]

I don't care what unit it is, but as a general golden rule of thumb: massing is bad. Write it on a piece of paper and stick it to the top of your monitor, sing songs about it in school... but never forget... massing is bad. Except against newbies. ;)

[Bobtheconquerer]

Yes massing against noobie= good massing against schwitzer = he throws a can at you.

[fading-ways]

Gyrocopters are just nonsence. There ok anti-air with the flak cannon upgrade. But against griound u gotta upgrade so they can attack em and they attack way to slow. Maybe they might be good diversions like to distract the enemy. But riflemen are so much better anti-air. I no Human play but i know gyrocopters are kinda useless.

[Mordecai2k]

but what about gyrobots?

[Skydragonace]

ohh my god, massing anything of 1 unit is bad. Everyone has their individual str and weakness, and you need to exploit that. OMG, you would die in a second.

[Adovid]

Orc has a problem with this... Wanna know why?, no melee air and not enough splash damage to air. A player gets enough gyros in an ffa and its next to impossible for orc to kill them all, and being produced from 2-3 bases of economy... Its a risky thing to do, especially since it is useless until teir 3. Tanks mixed with an army are usually a better choice to go with since they are damn nearly indistructible and have the best splash aa in the game when in good numbers. Tanks own every manner of air in the game when there are enough of them. I never tested them against bats that do seige but I doubt bats would win.

Well, the Dragonhawk Riders look like monkeys.

Nubey. You're all Nubies. Gyrobots will win against anything. Look at the stats i came up with, suckas.

[Demon_Child]

Tanks > Gyros even if the gyros do more damage to the tank's fortified armor.

[shadow_slayer4]

mass gryos is ok but if they see u and get fiends or gargs with vamp bye bye plus 2 bats can kill like like 8 or 9 gryos

Orc has a problem with this... Wanna know why?, no melee air and not enough splash damage to air. A player gets enough gyros in an ffa and its next to impossible for orc to kill them all,
wow ur smart heard of bats, they pwn mass gryos

[xodkrm]

Make sure you hide away your gyros so that the enemy doesn't air-crazy, until you make the final move.

[Dayoh]

If you really love gyros or flying machines called nowadays ( i think)
play ROC they are the best AA unit in the game
ROC's sooooo old

[SpeedyWorm1]

I remember a tft game when I ated 4s with my clan.I went chims another guy went wyrms the other tauren.The other guy? Mass GYROSSSSSS! [we won]. It was funny because the UD who went wyrms had told us to wait but we started,so he was afk for like 3 mins in game,so he HAD to go wyrms. Nifty harrassing held them off. The guy with gyros did the air trick on Market Square. He killed 3 bases total then we ALL assaulted with tauren gyros wyrms and chims. O-W-N-A-G-E.

[RedRagToAnOrc]

if you want a human strategy I always found the best one was to get rifles and foots at the start (I used to get Paladin but that's optional :) ) but creep, build a few towers at either entrance to your base, and wait for your opponent to come to you.
Then, once you are advanced far enough, build 2 arcane sanctums, research lots of upgrades with one and get 6 or 7 priests and 3 or 4 sorceresses with the other, getting a lot of knights and some gryphons as well.
Finally, although you will have High Upkeep by this time, get 4 or 5 siege engines. Then, check if their army is out of their base using Reveal, and if it is, send the siege engines in and block the entrance with the army you have amassed.
They should win anyway, but even if they don't your opponent's base is screwed! :D
