Usually a relatively easy match-up for Gon/Isen but due to a lot of mistake (especially from gondor) it was a fun game to play.

Wow, that was a pretty good game- lots of back and forth. Gandalf died like 4 or 5 times, the worst was when Ryan mistakenly unmounted Gandy near like 5 trolls, lmao.

One question:

I've noticed lately that some Pros when they are Isen make crossbows but don't make them into combos. Is there a specific scenario for this? Such as when vsing Mordor to micro around trolls? Because I imagine against combos single units of crossbows would get owned.

You will never see xbows fight vs combos obviously. Only time I would consider single xbows useful is for a quick attack vs mordor, when there will be no cav out,and you are in a position where an attack before drum is possible.

Also single xbows is used alot in isen v mor in 1v1 aswell.

What Yoshi said, plus you can use formation on xbows -> more damage and they move faster. Since they are only there to kill trolls/naz and not to fight combos they are the better choice. But ofc during the game you will need some combos too.

Thanks Yoshi and Felix. From Pro replays I see how devastating Isen Xbows can be on trolls when Micro'd properly so I'm definitely going to be incorporating them into my strats from now on wink.gif
