I wanted eiron to kick krystian because he build "(RECKS)" no fun to play against u can't kill them. So Eiron kicked him. The next game i build 1 and i think 1 reck does the job its beatable and how else u beat an army off spanners.... judge yourself...

Love to see some of ur reactions.

I agree with you!
The "evil" Recks are in my opinion only okay if you have five good players on each side who know how to counter. But one Reck undoubtedly is easily beatable with some EMP and Hunter spam. And it is sometimes the only way to win since Nod does neither have late game repair nor any good units against spanner but Venoms and NRA full member.

1 reck fine by me but 3 recks really annoys me, i to think krys should respect the veiw of other players and not build that many even if it has saved my a** a few times

people still have problems about recks,
3 reck is possible killed by 1 teams in 5v5 .
not easy but possible
2 players is usually enough


you get few conditions for this tactics to work best

1. your team is not losing , at least not too far. otherwise anything are not useful
2. you get T3
3. you need to be support and get 50 points for support abilities
4. you need to make sure it is 1v1 . it means no others players can help the recks included its own defense.

what e-pain said is correct . EMP
the key is separate 1 reck from the rest. remember you kill 1 reck they lose.
thunderhead is better than conductor IMO . long range and more HP .

make use of their mental mind that they think 3 recks is invincible . they rush themselves . no others can help them .

in 5v5 your armies can consist limited choice . you can get 1 thunderhead or the rests are hunter/shepard+spanners. hunter still the best choice even not heroic.

or 1 thunderhead the rest are kodaiks+spanner.

or simply another players spam hunters and you help him

3v3 is much easier you can mix your armies with both kodaik and hunters.the same tactics . just in case you can handle multiple set of armies micro.


when you get a good timing. use thunderhead slow down 1 of them
use spanner system restore to remove any buff for recknoers
weapon damper can slow their repair rate a bit. but actually not noticeable and last very short time.

1. 30sp for mine drop at their back move position or in front of the others 2 recks that may want to help the separate one.
so now kill the 1 ASAP. use you rest of power for the 10 sp overkill

2. 50sp for firehawk. remember don't use firehawk when 3 togethers. you won't kill anything

the rest is kill the others 2 recks before they can get back and rebuild anothers recks

if all the conditions i mentioned match
3v3 i can do it 90% of time . this include non-random game.
5v5 not easy anyway. but if you talk about randoms. i don't remember i can't kill them

finally the ultimate solution for recks is ignore them
they can do NOTHING . actually if they need 3 recks to get 1 node. you can just pass away and help your team to fight other node. this way is more efficient than spend time on recks. when they run away from node. you can get it back easily

just in case 2 teams heroic reck. i would say you can not do much when they are exited on the map. but if they get 2 teams doing this. the game properly is 5v4 or 5v3 when they are building recks. so you always need to make use of the time before they finished.but how you know they build recks. i can only say be smart

i don't share this in the past because if anyone remember FIMZ , this is for the teams i don't want to let people know how this work, otherwise abuser of reck can get a good argument that reck is not OP.
they will abuse them more and more. and if they know the tricks, it will become more difficult to handle
anyway i just walk around and see this post so i share my experience
some details may be incorrect because i don't play this game long time ago
but the concept is correct
