All army compositions benefit from good Top-Bar use
Use the Summoning Obelisk to rapidly reinforce the swarm component of your army
Depending on your play-style, difficulty and faction buffs, you may benefit more from delaying upgrading Idal Conduits
Terror Tank (3× Soul Dynamo, 1× Shields) – Thrall (Witness Me) - Dreadnought (Tempest Core)
Durable and effective, but can have body-blocking issues
Easier to establish than other compositions
A single Terror Tank with Soul Dynamo and good micro and carry the mid-game
Soul Dynamo is amazing, more DPS than the main gun if used right
Aim for 2-3 Terror Tanks
Prioritize getting 2 Soul Dynamo over a second Terror Tank
Use subsequent Flux to construct Tempest Dreadnoughts
Aim for 2-4 Dreadnoughts
Remember Steelsworn can be sacrificed to Terror Tanks too
Reliable on every mission and works from level 1
Optional: Forego Shields on subsequent Terror Tanks/module rebuilding and use more Thralls to tank
Caution: AoE effects can rapidly destroy modules
Excellent on: Scavenging and Critical Delivery
Dark Disciple – Thrall (Witness Me)
Simple and effective; attack-move toward the target
Expensive to establish
Vulnerable to AoE, crowd control, and body blocking
Lower mobility
Leaves more room to micro Galavax
Aim for 15–25 Dark Disciples
Excels in sustained combat
Dreadnought (2× Full Missiles; remaining 2× Tempest) – Thrall
Simple and effective; attack-move toward the target
Even more expensive to establish
Its power depends on your ability to flood the field with Thralls
Can work just fine with 10 Empowered Conduits pumping Summoning Obelisks
Aim for 4–5 Dreadnoughts
Great against objectives
Benefits from allies with swarm-heavy armies
Can add more or fewer Missile Dreadnoughts depending on Enemy Comp
Excels on Tug of War and is reliable on every mission
Storm Bringer – Thrall (Witness Me) – Steelsworn – Dark Disciple
Niche composition
Build a core of 10–20 Storm Bringers
Use 10–25 Steelsworn as a replenishable front-line
Optional: Add 5 Dark Disciples for cleanup DPS
Much more micro-intensive
Vulnerable to crowd control and charging units
Not strongly hindered by energy
Less effective against siege mechs, but can still melt Monstrosities
Excels on Scavenge and Critical Delivery
Galavax – Top Bar
Niche composition
Rush Idal Conduit upgrades and build at least 15
