For the crypt lord, Implae, or the beetles? Which one is better? I use them both occasionally. I use the beetles for when massing fiends for meat sheild and impale just to kill lines of men. I gotta set this strait which skill is better?!

I always max out Impale first. Beetles are rather useless in my opinion. As well as the damage Impale does, it has a nice stunning effect that I find very convenient for hero-hunting ;)

Yea, go Impale. Helps UD hero nuke.

Yeah! Impale is best, especially since undead units (at least ground) are relatively cheap. The only reason to have beetles is for scouting, and just to send them to attack peons while attacking base (or something).

Actually, I think That beetles is good for EARLY game. Ya know, meat shield as well as 5 extra units, they help in creeping and if an enemy attacks, you're better off than without them.

I usually go beetles, then impale, then carasspace then impale again...I forget about the beetles until lv 7.But theyre very useful at first...

only reason u should get crypt lord is for impale as a third/2nd hero.

no fiend massing plz ^_^

but if u want an easy win vs orc/ud go beetle/armor/beetle/impale or armor/beetle/swarm
having 2000 free hps worth of beetles is a great asset, makes attack moving with fiends EVEN easier

I usually get the Crypt Lord second and the Death Knight first... I'm not claiming to be an expert, though, so someone with more experience would probably scoff at me for doing this.

Simply best reason I use Impale is after in a matter I see the opponent fleeing or using a channeling spell, I got not only a stop/stun spell, but a damage one that is in an area of effect. Way better then a Dreadlords Sleep, and once you got a 5/6 Crypt Lord. That thing wont go down so easily : )

Yea CL is a great 2nd hero choice in UD vs UD. You go impale and carpace and if you got Dk as third hero than you let your CL sit their and tank while your DK coils your CL.
