Medusa tactics

[KrogothFTW]

I have trouble implementing the medusa in my tactics. Its DPS is too small to attack an acu en masse, and its high arc makes it less formidable against massed units that it's stun and aoe might suggest. Any advice?

build only mantis for the few first minute of game.
get a ratio of 1 medusa for 3 mantis afterward.
at T2 stage, spam like "10 rhino + 1 flak + 1 steath" (repeat) on 3 T2 facto, and get 2 T1 facto to spam only medusa.

adapt in function of what you want to achieve (t2 push, or fast T3..) (you may want to add some T2 facto, and T1 facto for medusa, if you want to do a push on T2 timing, it's also depending of your income)
adapt in function of the map, you may want to do a T1 spam on only 2 facto, and then switch to fast T2 into spam wagner, on loki for exemple. (in this exemple, you can avoid making medusa, since wagner does work already against T1 pd, and medusa doesn't have the speed of wagner..)

you shouldn't try to use medusa against acu. (or only a focus fire, when he is low hp, in the middle of his army....)
you should abuse emp blast of medusa to get the uper hand in T2 fight.
you should remember that medusa are slow to kill T1 pd, so organize your gameplay in function of it.

if you want to snipe acu, you have a perfect tool at T1 stage : mantis.
it's the best tank to get whole army in range of the com fast, real good dps, and you can begin to com block pretty fast thx to the speed, and reinforcement are coming fast. you should get some medusa only in order to kill some T1 pd, if he builded some. (situation where a com is out of position, but try to secure it with 1-2 T1 pd for exemple)

My calculations of health and dps show that Mantis is the strongest T1 unit of all factions' T1.
