When your opponent plays defensively on 2 bases with a fast blink, this is almost impossible; you should theoretically always be behind going into the mid game Can't you get charge, maybe +1 armor/attack and your 3rd? You get ready to farg him hard at middle of map with chargelots stalkers + phoenixes. Techpath: chargelot/archon into doublerobo colo. | ||

I just keep spamming phoenix if he has any more phoenix than me he wins. Here's a trick I learned from a 1v1 with some random GM player: 1 SG Phoenix Scout opponent going 1 SG Phoenix -> 2 SG Phoenix +1 Air Weapons Hallucination Then when you engage, have as many hallucinated Phoenix as possible. You'll win for sure as you'll lose little to nothing (especially if he doesn't have +1 Air Weapons) and won't be able to come back in the game. He's also less likely to have proper detection during the engagement due to investing in a SG instead of a Robo. If he goes double SG Pheonix, you should still win because of the Hallu/+1 weapons. | ||

I dont get it. Whats the point of paying 100 Gas per Phoenix-Hallu (unless the Sentry is fully charged, which takes a really long time) instead of building an actual Phoenix for the same amount of Gas. Especially if you are going 2 Star anyways and considering all the drawbacks of Hallucination like limited time of use, no dmg, need to protect the sentries and even greater casualities if he tags his phoenix to yours unprepared. | ||

 You basically have only one sentry so getting hallucination for 100 gas gives you at most 2 half life phoenixes that do 0 dps instead of 1 real phoenix (since you can't produce constant phoenix out of 2 stargates). | ||
