I’m not good at introducing, so I will just leave you with a table of contents:

  1. Units
  2. Calldowns
  3. Levels

Let’s begin.

Units (normal version) :

  • Sons of Korhal : elite marines, cost 30% more than a normal marine, but has 1 more range. Has two passive—grant nearby air units with longer sight and range, gain attack speed increase while an allied unit within sight is dead. Can be upgraded to have more armor and health.
  • Ghost : Can cloak, and has the highest range when being loaded inside a bunker. Weapon damage increases with the distance between the target. Can regenerate health, regenerate health faster while cloaked.
  • War Guard: Hellbat variant, can’t switch into a hellion. Have the highest threat…and a lot of armor. Attack will be causing a lockdown to this unit, but it will apply even more armor to the unit.
  • Goliath : have Imaging Radar. Can be upgraded with Multi-Lock Weapons System.
  • Viking: Only have fighter mode. Can be upgraded to restore the original assault mode and twist it into a defense mode—works as a PDD, but able to deduce damage from aoe effects like Parasitic Bomb and seeker missiles.
  • mechavac : Medivac variant which only allowed to support mechanical units. This unit doesn’t have nano repair beam or any kit to heal units, but it has an aura—makes units receive the same amount of shields when taking damage.
  • Liberator : Liberator with longer attack range in defender mode. Attacks in fighter mode will motivate allied units. Can be upgraded to attack ground units in fighter mode.
  • Wraith : a Wraith. Can be upgraded to activate a special siege mode. The portable shield of THIS unit is rechargeable.
  • Science vessel : Special support unit. Replace nano-repair beam into a destruction beam which continuously deduces movement speed and armor of enemy mechanical units. Can be upgraded to overload portable shield.
  • Valkyrie : ANTI-AIR fighter. The portable shield of THIS unit is significantly higher.
  • Raven : Support unit excels in deploy defensive structure and Warfield’s SPECIAL-SCVs-TACTICS. Can deploy auto turret, Interference Matrix, and use seeker missiles. Can be upgraded to change seeker missiles ability into DEPLOY MISSILES HANGER.

Units (Elite Guard) :

  • Elite Guard : Experienced soldier enhanced with (only one) Umojan tech. Will use stim pack when radical meditation (the second passive of SOK) triggered. THIS stim pack has no cooldown.
  • 404 infiltrators : Elites among the Dominion ghost academy. Attacks weaken the enemy, using hold fire command will significantly reduce one of his ability cooldowns.
  • Outback Hunter: Have been a frontline soldier for more than a decade. Can jump up and down on cliffs and use hellion mode, while hellion mode will cost the machine to malfunction.
  • Bulwark Company : Special goliath company in the Dominion Armed Forces. Modify with the latest technology, have higher movement speed (legs replaced by suspension plate) and its Imaging Radar effective radius is higher.
  • Sky Fury Squadron: An elite Viking unit of the Terran Dominion Armed Forces. Defense mode no longer needed since it is combined into the fighter mode.
  • B.u.s : an elite Mechavac unit of the Terran Dominion Armed Forces. Apply an additional 50% portable shield to nearby friendly mechanical units. has two abduction charges.
  • Peacekeeper : an elite Liberator unit of the Terran Dominion Armed Forces. Attacks from defender mode will melt the target, applied with twin Concord Cannon.
  • White Wolves : Part of the elite of the Dominion Fleet. Cloaking in siege mode no longer required additional energy. Original siege mode upgrade will attach pulse cannon, instead of rail gun to this unit.
  • SciH sector : An elite Science Vessel unit of the Terran Dominion Armed Forces. All of its original Science Vessels abilities now deals damage. SCIENCE HURTS.
  • Valarjar : Part of the elite of the Dominion Fleet. Use A.I. pilot, can revive upon death.
  • M.E.T.A. : An elite Raven unit of the Terran Dominion Armed Forces. Accompany by 2 scvs. Will deploy its decoy upon death. M.E.T.A. decoy can use all of the raven’ abilities.
  • Helios : Warfield’s battlecruiser is elite-only. It features an experimental armor which deduces the highest damage taken to 40, and it will also apply to an emergency protocol which increases its movement speed and armor when its hp is below 40%. This unit can release an electrical shockwave to stun enemy MASSIVE mechanical units(exclude hero units ofc), and grant all nearby mechanical units +1attack. Nonetheless, one of its upgrades is interesting—when it is destroyed, it will remain as an invulnerable unit and you can use Gulls to repair it(Also, it will deal damage to all units within the crashing zone).

Calldowns :

  • Strike team
    Warfield has a unique top-bar ability which allows him to SEPARATE his units into FOUR strike team—Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and later on: Delta. Units assembled into the given team will receive its effects. Warfield DOESN’T has a SELECT-ALL-ARMY option while he will use each 4 top-bar to select and control units from each team.
  1. Strike team Alpha
    Units assigned to team Alpha will receive additional heath. And later on (WITH level progression) will unlock an effect that allows all units within team alpha an escape option from every 120s, escape option applies all units with team Alpha with 150 shields upon taking lethal damage, and an escape pod (when the shields expired) back to TCC.
  2. Strike team Bravo
    Units assigned to team Bravo will receive permanent-cloaking devices. While only a handful of units can fit into this team, and SOME UNITS just can’t join in. Later on (WITH level progression), units within team Bravo will receive additional weaponry based on its fraction: Battlefield-camp units like SOK or ghost will have a special demolition device, which can cost enemy to attack the attached structure in a short period; Starport units like VK or SV will have advanced cloaking field, which will apply forced-cloak effect (even units with detector can’t detect it) every 50s.

    Units assigned to team Charlie will receive bonus attack speed and movement speed. And later on (WITH level progression) will unlock bonus +1 damage.

    WHILE WITH LEVEL PROGRESSION, the strike team Delta will CHANGE into another playstyle.
  • Tactical deployments
    Warfield also has two top-bar abilities used for the deployment of specific units. And these are Field Response Theta(elite medivac), Gorgon, and variable bunker. These units count as Warfield’s top-bar units and do not have a time limit, plus they are not targetable to the enemy.

  2. Gorgon

Strengths

  • Warfield is a commander excels in multi-line assault and ally supporting due to his unique top-bar. By removing the select-all-unit hotkey and giving players already established control groups make the management of it less hectic. Allows him to finish multiple objectives in maps like PAP, M, MO, TVP, L&L, TOP,, etc… AND servicing with great performance in DON as both defender and attacker.

  • Since Warfield’s top-bar units are mostly invulnerable, he can always send his elite medivacs to strengthen his ally, sniping vipers or ravens with his Gorgon, or just using the great ship to provide sight. This will be a great advantage for some of the commanders.

  • Warfield’s workers are free, allows him to handle the macro with ease and using his resources in other places at the early game. Eventually provides him with an early game advantage.

Weaknesses

  • Warfield’s army might seem to be overpowering, but they require support from almost every single one of his units and specifically, his Assault Bunkers. Given that his units (except the Elite Guard units) are fragile without them.

  • Warfield’s SCVs are special. They cost NO minerals but having a restriction of its total amount and an auto-cast production mechanic. Forcing players to plan accordingly with his bunker deployments and avoid losing his SCVs with any cause. Losing workers with this commander has the largest impact.
