Level 90 Arcturus Prestige! ALL Talents! [Starcraft II Co-Op] 

Trooper on P3: "Ohh, come on man, it's not That Inhumane" Enemy unit comp: Baneling Scourge Trooper: "Ohh no....."

The nerve of Mengsk not only allying with Kerrigan but also releasing the Zerg

No Vampires were hurt during the filming of this video.

I queued with CtG while he was leveling Mengsk's P1. It was chill.

I think there's an irony with P3 in that despite being a prestige all about your troops being super-expendable, it actually makes it easier to reach critical mass. The reason being that the Troopers you lose using P3, you probably would have lost without the prestige anyway - but the kills they get from mini-nuking the enemy depletes the enemy firepower that'll be coming in on the rest of your force, thereby reducing your losses overall. As opposed to regular Troopers, where a Trooper dying and dropping their weapon does little to prevent other Troopers dying, and often actually increases the likelihood of the remaining Troopers dying (since the total firepower of the force). Seems counterintuitive, but it's less that the Troopers with P3 are being used as suicide troops (nothing in the prestige, apart from the lack of medivacs, makes them more likely to die) and more that throwing their weapons just as they're about to die anyway gives them one last "screw you"... which might just save the conscript next to them.

I know you didn't like Abathur 1, but I think you should try it out with a Queen build. They become very powerful with all the biomass due to sheer health values, life steal, energy regen and attack speed.

For P2 you can easily see from the top bar numbers that in the long run, Royal Guards generate far more imperial mandate than indoctrinated labourers/troopers(even with trooper/labourer imperial support), therefore with P2 it is more efficient to allocate points to Royal Guard imperial support instead. This also has the added benefit of allowing you to sacrifice labourers for repairing your mech units and for extra supply, and you can also pull your Imperial Witnesses away from mineral lines so you can build less of them for more supply, because as seen in your demo, supply is a limiting factor for how many Royal Guards you can have. Since you will end up with way too many minerals anyway you may as well sacrifice the labourers for extra supply. You will also want to have Imperial Intercessors to follow your army around so your Aegis Guards and Emperor's Shadows are kept healthy. You can also use them to load up slow units like Thors and boost your ground army around for mobility. In the late game when you have sac'd enough labourers and still have too much gas and too little supply for more Royal Guards, you should add a couple of Emperor's Shadows into your army and spam nuke silos. Alternatively you can spam EOs for Contaminated Strikes because you will have so much mandate.

I'd love to see an abathur P2 build where you' d solo with no air, quick 3 brutas followed by a ton of roaches/ravagers/swarm hosts on a map like mist opportunities. Thanks so much for all the detailed guides!

Artanis P3 Arkship Commandant You don't need to shoot in a powerfield to spawn the archons. They just don't spawn if the shots are centered over structures. You can still get the damage down on the structures, it just has to be the edge touching the structure, not the center. I also find it best to be more selective with the shots. 1 shot+Archon will kill every opening wave I think. You can use the other 4 shots to finish taking out your gas rocks, although you should be able to take all three rocks with one round. It is also very effective to leapfrog the Archons. Get just in vision range of the force you want to take on, shoot one shot, wait for vision, then pick higher value targets for the next shots. I find they completely take the place of Shield Overcharge in most situations. Just put them down and let them tank/do damage while you send in your troops after them to clean up. I think you should try them out Chain of Ascension. You clear expo and first build Nexus with your first salvo, and then clear your partners with your second. Puts you on a very fast start to follow up with whatever unit composition the map calls for. The early game strength of this prestige is pretty insane while still being useful in late game for sniping down heavy damage dealers in the back.

Give P2 Mengsk mass BC a try. 1. Fast expand 2. Barebones tech: barracks, factory, 2x starport, fusion core. 3. Get witnesses for each mining base 4. Spam BCs. Lvl 3 BCs are insanely powerful with 3x SPLASH yamato per single cast. Any cloaked unit will be caught in the yamato splash. By the 12-15m mark you should have roughly 5-6 BCs with a few being lvl 3. Repair whenever low.

Thanks for the vids dude

I can't wait for prestige talents of the Random-Dice boy

For the second prestige, not only does the exp gain actually help imperial mandate, as the rank of an RG unit is important, the *modified* supply of the unit is actually factored into the equation too. The second prestige gives way more imperial mandate from RG units than normal.

Thanks for this now the have the Idea on how I should play the prestige.

Are you winning son? Thanks for the video! :D

For P2 ya can go 2 worker saturation on minerals and forget the 2 supply line blimps and their fusion core upgrade, get royal guard support mastery as well. set up is much faster and can pump out RG in decent time. Mineral dump troopers not required and actually slow things down unless you have swann drones. Mastery 3 is a wash between strong early game or stronger everything else, depends on partner/mutation.

I have unlocked the prestiges on Mengsk but not really played them beyond mastery that much yet, I feel like you can get away with Aigis guard opener instead of witness, especially with early-game commanders like Dehaka, Tychus and Zagara to soak all of the exp, 3-5 rank 3 Aigis guards are huge powerhouses. Definitelly gonna test that.

So do your "scvs" in the soldier version also grant faster shooting speed on the artillery towers? The description sounds as if you only get the bonus if they are in worker-form?

How do u get up the chart that tells the dmg and other details at the very end?? If you use any 3rd party app, pls share me. I really wanna try it out.

P1 IS THE BEST BRO

Abathur essence hoarder: try mass muta (overseers allowed) on cradle of death and see if u can clear the ENTIRE map. Any ground combat units must be killed after use so mutas can use the biomass. Also Abathur tunneling horror: try vermillion problem and use deep tunnel to move around even with lava (i wish the prestige also included queens for heals...)

question: what are the best way to level up without a friend (not solo, but with a random partner)? playing on lower difficults? specific maps? how?

Please tell me how to make an additional statistics window like in the video.

How do you think p1 for mengsk would be teamed up with p1 karax? Super attack speed earthshaker?

Una pregunta sobre el prestigio 3: La autodestrucción de las armas, ¿solo afecta a las unidades terrestres o también a las aéreas? uwu, gracias.

How much unmanned earthsplitter do you recommend for full effect of Contaniment strike?

*The hero Viking from the HoTS campaign appears*

Can you try P2 with the Royal Guard Mastery points? It may not be efficient as you say, but I wanna see how high you can crank up that number

The P3 doesn't really have a downside. By the nature of the prestige, even if the medivacs were available you wouldn't build them anyway.

Anyone know what video where Cain showed off the cannon strat?

17:09 Viking: they'll never know

need to fight bio? Earthsplitter! Mech? Earthsplitter! Air? Earthsplitter! Buy earthsplitter, and don't be annoyed by anyone. Even your workers won't complain!

Where do u take the time to lvl him up 4 Times in a row

what is that statistic screen at the end?

I’m pretty sure you don’t need a blimp over your ESOs to get the imperial support. The conscripts just going into your ESOs gives you imperial support.

What are the vampires he keeps saying?

Kerrigan P3 is fixed! Try mass mutalisks on maybe chain of ascension!

13:25: Mengsk moment

Strange mechanic with com strike and attack wave, if you fear wave, it will stay in place and never come to you

Why you don't play in Mutation? Because mutation's week it's very hard for Mengsk's or you? I hope you show us how to play for Mengks in week Mutation, and how trubble you see in game for Imperator)

WTFF .. so op

Oh, no! The last prestige video! :-(

Hey CtG, I have a question: Is there a reason you don't place your balloons under your allies expansion(s)? Something I noticed in the siege form of the balloons is to increase movement speed of units under the balloon, meaning faster mining speed (similar to the F.A.S.T. Stetelites) of units beneath it. The upgrade doesn't do much for this, but the speed increase is useful, and with the cheap cost of 100/100, I think it's rather useful to employ them on other commanders bases.

Hey guys, I'm new to this game, I was wondering, is it worth to keep ccop commanders in their default prestige configurations? For example, keeping Mengsk in his "Emperor of the Dominion" form, rather than switching him to either Toxic Tyrant, Merchant of Death or Principal Proletariat? That way, you won't get any advantages, but you won't get any disadvantages either.

All I'm looking for is a coop with the I Def prestige for both Swann and karax on dead of night

CtG after nuking marines who probably have families waiting for them: -he he he

Dude what is your secret, all commanders already maxed + 1000 ascension!?

5:07 WEEEeeeeeee

I have visions of P3 against part and parcel Infinite nukes, the ballius and hybrids with stupid aoe abilities to be nuked to oblivion.

I’m Surprised you don’t make more command centres when you have 1k minerals

P3 is as inhumane as the sea

P3 is actually more humane than other

I am greatly interested in more info on prestiges, but the format of these videos is not very appealing to me. Seeing a fully played game for each prestige just takes too long. My most favourite thing about these videos is the quick rundown you make at the end of the video. If you were to make a vid where you would just discuss the various prestiges and compared them to each other without the gameplay, I'd like to watch that. Also, tier lists are pretty hot on youtube now, so maybe you could try that too.

Hehehe, Sky Furies. What if one out of every 100 had a chance to spawn with a starfox character look alike as a unit icon. Do a barrel roll!

P3 he changed into Fouad from Family Guy

What are the “vampires”?? 😂

I wonder, is Ctg left handed? His hotkeys kinda tell me he his

Use Artanis with P3 here so they have a moment to realize they are going to die muahahahahahahahhaha

RIP headphones users

so much dramatization for a brutal game... you could just build fast and take the enemies base to have more gas and minerals, in 14 minutes
