METHOD 1: HELP TEAMMATE HOLD LVL 10, HOLD LVL 12 and 14
- Level 1: 5 Gateguards
- Level 2: just go 7 gateguards. if you're not in spawn can usually do 6
- Level 3: 9 Gateguards
- Level 4: 11 Gateguards or get an upgraded blue one, push 9/4 taunt units in
- Level 5: You stop pushing. No more pushing until after 7, you also start upgrading the Gateguards to Heralds slowly but surely. Which ones don’t matter too much, as long as they are next to each other. Personally, I upgrade middle and outwards.
- Level 7: After level 7, you start pushing lumber.
- Level 8: You are still pushing lumber, what you used to hold level 7 should hold level 8. You build HARBINGER (the 1-time upgrade Gateguard) on teammate. Try to get 9/8.
- Level 9: You still build on teammate's side (blue gates), try to clump them together so you can easily pull them towards your lane. You need to do this to not leak big on 9, unless you have no blue gates on your side, then the X taunt will work.
- Level 10: You already built a lot on your teammate, if you are confident you guys hold 10 easily, you can start pushing 9/9 or 9/10. You do this now and not before 9 because you want to leak as little as possible on 9. You also move 1-2 Heralds to your teammate from your spawn build, 1 you can fullsell, 2 if your teammate can also fullsell.
- Level 11: You get your teammate to fullsell 1 Herald, you sell the other. You move all your stacked blue Harbingers back. You make sure you don’t upgrade any of these to Herald this round, and just upgrade what you have in your spawn so you can move later.
- Level 12: Upgrade your Harbingers to Heralds
- Level 13: Upgrade your Harbingers to Heralds
- Level 14: Move your build back to standard position to be stronger on 14.
METHOD 2: OMG WE'RE GONNA DIE 10 BUT ALSO WEAK 12 TEAMMATE NEEDS BIG BIG STACK SO I BIG STACK AND NEED BAILOUT ON 14 (do if team is already good 14 completely but weak 10)
if you know you are gonna die with a stack of only wave 8-> 10 + 2 heralds on 10, consider stacking more units. however, if you do this starting spawn is not recommended.. you can build on your teammates side all game long and pull each wave untill level 10 ends, and then put all units in spawn for 12 if you need good hold there. make sure to use taunts to get in deep and kill faster.
METHOD 3: BE A STUPID SELFISH SOLOPLAYER WHO ONLY PLAYS GATEGUARD SPAWN BUT WE'LL TRY TO MAKE IT WORK
well yes.. the title says it all doesn't it? you can make it work, the beginning is the same as METHOD 1, but you try to hold because you think you can, maybe you rolled lifesteal, speed troll, for some reason you just want to play solo or you think you can hold level 10. ok, then dont stack your teammate. maybe stay low push. 9/6 ? you will still leak probably 🤷 but that's okay. we are a solo player and we will die a solo player !!
