Forums → Games → Good Strategy for Hovers?

Hovers are good for sweeping land being missle absorbers.
Team them up with Sakatas or black queens, hovers are good at owning enemy sakatas, spiders, infantry, chronite tanks, glads, etc etc

I meant in like Earthquake. I only play Earthquake and Safe Skies.

Hovers are good as a wall and damage absorber for snipers, back them up with a few meds.

In earthquake it's as firetail said, absorber for snipers, meanwhile they pack a damn good punch themselves (just lower range than snipers).

In safeskies, they're still your best option against enemy sakatas. Hovers take out sakatas, phantoms take out hovers, sakatas take out phantoms.

And sweep a bit of meds into that mix.
Hospital should have an option "flying med" to heal air units.

Yeah, flying meds would be nice, especially since sakatas do splash damage and all.

*pictures what flying meds would look like*
No, I can't.

But you can win an earthquake with just snipers xD

Flying med could look like the medivac in starcraft 2 (it's a ship that heals. But in sc2 it can transport units).

roman walls will tear apart a sniper army if its just sniper

I am talking about buildings.

What buildings should I make?

For earthquake, be communist.

Armoy, Armoy, outpost. The other would switch between hospital and forge.

If your ally is good, you can have 3 armories making only snipers and hovers. For best effect snipers should stand slightly in front of your hovers and basic tanks.

Or if you are fasist and your ally is a communist, go for medics and roman, plus some sakatas in the mix. (Armory, forge, hospital and solar array), and let your ally build 3 armories for maximum amount of hovers and snipers.

Basic tank is better against infantry due to bigger splash damage, mix a few at least.

Before pushing forward, auto no-rally romans (thats why you need a forge) and let them absorb fire before you push your sniper-tanks forward.

If you are good with the controls, you can harrass your enemy with a considerable mass of snipers.

I agreee with you, but how many people use romans that often? I don't know much people that do that.

someone needs to be taught a lesson :\\\\ roman walls will tear apart a sniper army if its just sniper.

eq mass hovers with meds behind also let your enemy attack first unless they spam snipers if you just cant wait stop your units just as they are attacking to micro. hovers are very good againts sakas. like 2 hovs can kill a saka in oneshot
