AEONS are GARBAGE!
-
If these are the Aeon weaknesses, it contains three of their strengths.
The destro is still the 2nd best destro, of course it’s worse than the best destro but both salem and valiant suck against exodus.
Harbs are absolutely not just good early on, they are the overall highest utility t3 land unit and are good across the entire t3-t4 stage. They are great at drops, at raids, at small number attacks, and at large number attacks. The only unit arguably as useful as harb is brick since it got buffed to just be a strictly better percy, putting percy over harb is completely nuts and not based in reality. Percy is like the 3rd best t3 unit for UEF let alone a unit to put into an argument on strong t3 units.
GCs are the perfect complement to harbs. Harbs suffer late game from not being able to force engagements due to range. A GC not only provides excellent HP tanking but it also forces essentially anything that isn’t a mega/fatboy into a fight when supported by either harbs or potentially snipers. Talking about GC dps just sounds like you aren’t using GCs properly nor do you understand what purpose it serves alongside harbs. You thinking this is how you use it just goes to show how strong it is, because you can just meathead spam GCs and still get completely solid results.
Czars are just really big restos, you’re not supposed to just fly over sams and have it die. I'll admit it isn't a strength tho.

Destros are both OP and week as hell, very good range
Range nerfed hard.
-
@FtXCommando how can you say harbs are better than percy
percy has much better range, health, dps and are amphibious
only thing harbs have is that they are cheap
-
@Caliber Harbs have way more dps per mass spent. They have slightly less health but have the utility of a rechargeable shield. They have a much higher rate of fire making them far superior vs lower tech units and when dropping. Most importantly they are far faster and more agile (microable) than percies meaning you can run cirlces around them. You can choose to raid behind the percies or pick a fight when it is advantageous to do so. Harbs and Bricks as FtX said are the two best t3 units imo.
-
Percies are slower than chickens and same speed as GCs let alone t3 units. They have zero agency in choosing fights and are horrible at combat because of it. The best usage of percies is keeping anything away from your actual damage dealers, which for UEF is often just spearheads.
HP is overstated, percies have 5.62 hp per mass, harbs have 5.47.
DPS is just wrong with .26 dps per mass for percies and .38 dps per mass for harbs. (Spearhead is .6 btw)
Range is the only real thing there isn’t an answer for, and that’s what GC exists for. If percies are forced to move into harbs, they lose the engagement when both are in range of each other.
It’s way more controversial of a take to consider percy better than harb, percy is a unit that needs buffs even.

Percies are 2.2 speed, while chicken/GC are 2.5/2.4 speed respectively. You're thinking of bricks with 2.4 speed. The rest of what you said with them being unable to start fights is correct though.
-
I thought they got buffed last patch to be 2.4 like GC so I edited it. I just manifested by own proposal to buff them I think. So sad.
-
Also I'd like to mention that Aeon gets another anti-Percival unit in their double range double shield ACU long before a GC can be built, so it's not like Harbs are even bad on one-lane maps where in theory Percivals always kite and win. Harbs are great for keeping Percies off your ACU in that situation because the Percies have to try to swarm your ACU to kill it instead of dying one by one but that requires moving forward into Harbs/shields.
-
Aeon is just boring to play tbh, even if they are balanced or the strongest.
-
Seems like this type of complaint all stems from what I believe makes FAF so great, the fact that certain things are only possible for higher skilled players meaning the skill gap actually means something.
Just because I'm garbage at using aeon doesn't mean aeon is garbage.
