The Undead Strategy Guide

This is a strategy page that will help you become informed of what the Undead Scourge are truly capable of! Most people think of them as a potent race of mixed units, but you don't know what you're missing out on. In the section below, you'll learn about Undead weaknesses, strengths, and what really is the perfect Undead army.

Main Focal Point
The main objective with the Undead is to anticipate what your opponent is going to produce by using stealth and cunning. The surprising thing is that you won't even have to build a single attack unit that's actually undead. We're going to teach you the ins and outs of replicating a famous strategy known as "Stats/Fiends." It is known to be the best strategy ever made for the Undead, who lack in power but possess a lot of spider thingies.

I managed to catch up with Sweet[SAINT], the Level 50 Korean that everyone thinks is fat, but his words had plenty of meat to them when I interviewed him at Warcraft Gamer this past week. He said, and I quote:

"The Undead are much happy units. If you play them, you will feel much happy. I like arachnid units because they have the longer range than the zombie units, but the best unit is the rock statue unit. They bring much happy when I defeat my opponent player with them. If you learn this build order, you will feel much happy."

Wow, that's some God damn Shakespeare if you ask me...just...tear inducing...anywho, it is time to talk about the strategy that I have written, which is a composite of expert and beginner play, so it will be a feasible strategy lineup for everyone!

Versus Human
Though one would think that a footman with the Defend ability would pose a significant threat to the Crypt Fiend, they are sorely mistaken. Despite the massive amount of footmen that your opponent might get, it is important to stay focused and keep clicking the "F" button while you have your Crypt highlighted. Tech to a Halls of the Dead and turtle your base in (I normally get at least eightteen towers). After this point, continously creep. Avoid contact with the opponent, and if he wants to fight in your base, don't worry about it. I once held off an army of seventy-two footmen with one tower, so eightteen will keep your base squeaky clean of those human losers.

After you hit Tier Two, you should have your Death Knight at level five and your Crypt Fiend out of the grave. Now, hear me, this is the most important part of the strategy. Otherwise, it will not work. Build a Slaughterhouse and begin to build Obsidian Statues. Rally them to your army, as even if the opponent manages to attack you while you creep, your army is now invincible. Four Obsidian Statues will do the trick, and attack-move towards your opponent's base. Get a drink and microwave some popcorn, and when you come back, you will have won the game. Nothing your opponent does will stop your invincible army.

Versus Orc
The Orcs just suck. Rush them with your acolytes and you should be fine.

Versus Night Elf
The Newbelves beat this race easy. You cannot stop them in any fashion or matter, because they're noob attack-move people.

Versus Undead
This is an interesting matchup, simply because two invincible armies can't kill each other, right...? Well, proof came in the form of a pro replay I saw the other day that was fresh in from Korea, as two self-proclaimed "gosus" battled to a four-hour tie, with a final battle of 129 minutes coming to an inconclusive draw. This matchup really depends on your mindset. If you're stingy about taking losses, it is best to let the game run for the fourteen to eightteen hour match that will ensue after your pivotal attack-move. If you want the deadlock tie, repeat what I mentioned in the "Versus Human" matchup.

Versus Piercing Immune Units
Use your Crypt Fiends as a shield and force them to surround your Obsidian Statues. Though the scant damage dealt by Obsidian Statues will take hours to kill the enemy, your Crypt Fiends will heal fast enough to prevent enemy units from getting near the Statues, which will bludgeon your enemy to an embarassing death.

More will be up about this exciting race soon, and many others! Look forward to them, and it will inspire confidence in me!
