Since Super Heavy Tank has been playing a super important role in Warpath, it’s a must to have a specific guide regarding the best army formations for SH on this blog!
Do note that, there isn’t any “best SH army composition” in the game as it’s all depending on your strategies, the field situation, and a lot of other real-time factors. Since this is a real-time strategy video game, everything matters! This guide only wants to give you the basic mindset and idea regarding some effective ways to make the most of the Super Heavy Tank. Depending on your playstyle, choose the best one for you!
Since the last updates, other types of tanks have become less effective, also people were able to convert their units to Super Heavy Tank, which was very rare before, this makes SH the most popular tank right now that everyone should have.
SH Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
- Has the highest durability.
- Has the highest armour depth.
- In Patch v2.01, Spanner even gives the SH 30% more durability and 10% damage resistance, making SH a lot more effective!
Disadvantages
- Up to 8 Reserves per Unit.
- Slow movement speed and fire speed.
Super Heavy Officers
When using SH, offense is the best defense, and Base-to base (B2B) is probably the best strategy for it as its movement speed is super slow and moving a long distance on the battlefield is a big no-no.
If you have a chance to unlock Guardian of Truth, which is probably the best investment you could ever have in the game, you can try to use the other officer pairings like:
Best Army Formations for SH
Classic SH Formation
This was one of the most popular SH army compositions before the patch v2.01 as it’s great for the close-attack strategies.
Due to the high armor and excellent firepower coming from artillery units, the amount of damage this team formation could do is fatal, especially if your artillery officers are well invested.
The downside of this team is the speed and the base position.
Units | Camp |
Super Heavy | Vanguard Division |
Howitzer | Camp Liberty |
Howitzer | Martyr’s Watch |
Anti-tank Gun | Vanguard Division |
Any Howitzer | Any |
How to use this team?
Get close to the target, choose a suitable base to attack, prevent them from getting to your allies.
Flexible Team Formation
This is one of the most popular SH team formations after the update as it fits a lot of strategies and situations.
It works great for Base-to-Base strategy while also being very flexible when it comes to attacking the enemies from behind.
The very fast speed of the light tank and the high durability of the SH could help you in a lot of situations!
Units | Camp |
Super Heavy | Vanguard Division |
Howitzer | Camp Liberty |
Howitzer | Martyr’s Watch |
Anti-tank Gun | Vanguard Division |
Light Tank | Camp Liberty |
How to use it?
In case you cannot go full B2B against the target, it’s recommended to use the Light Tank to attack the enemies from behind. Due to its super-fast movement speed and firing speed, you will be great at chipping down the enemies slowly.
Balanced Team Formation
Units | Camp |
Super Heavy | Vanguard Division |
Howitzer | Camp Liberty |
Howitzer | Martyr’s Watch |
Anti-tank Gun | Vanguard Division |
Tank Hunter | Vanguard Division |
The tank hunter allows us to enable the camp Vanguard Division buff by quite a lob. The Tank Hunter has better fire speed comparing to the Anti-tank Gun and is able to deal with high-armor tank, especially the Heavy Tank and Super Heavy Tank.
Thus, this comp is working very well on defense against the enemy comps using Heavy Tanks from the Camp Liberty.
Also, the Tank Hunter has a pretty good movement speed, making it’s easier for you to get to the enemy Super Heavy tanks faster on the field.
Conclusion
The only downside of the Super Heavy is the movement speed. It’s still a top-tier unit regardless. However, since it’s not easy at all to get the SH to high grade so you must to think twice before focusing your resources on upgrading it.
If you think it’s hard to get a high-grade SH for now, simply just focus on the other options while slowly work on your Super Heavy Tank!
