Anyone here like to use Vega here? I fought many games but hardly see any Tychus player take Vega as a team member. Anyone have any link that any player best playing Vega?
Vega is fun when you can get really high tier units, but I feel like she REALLY shines with Lone Wolf. I’ve solo cleared VT with her on Lone Wolf, using nothing but her and dommed units.

Interesting, I’ve not tried that before, basically because I didn’t click that her units benefit from Lone Wolf. I’ll definitely try that next time I get a chance. 
Sometimes in late game, as “one of the last”, I may summon her to defend against the waves that exceptionally reach deeper in players territory (though in Temple of the Past, it’s not extraordinary)
Depends on the enemy, Terran and Protoss capital ship comps are good fun with her.
I’ve used her before. Call me old fashioned, I still prefer Nikara and the more “standard” outlaws. That said, with map knowledge, players can go far with her, nabbing high tier units early on.
Most of my MC play comes from Karax’ Energizers. Without an affordable AA unit that’s no fragile, Reclaim has helped cover that gap. They can only Reclaim mech units, but probably a good thing since bio units wouldn’t get the heal from Recon Beam (so it’s a nice change of pace that Vega can target BL and such. IIRC, Ultralisks having Frenzy attribute makes them immune even to Vega).
Other forms include Stukov’s Alexander. Haven’t used Zeratul in a while, but via his DA legion. I did make DA as Vorazun those few times 
Ultras are not immune to Vegas Dominate and with full loan wolf buff do 100 AoE damage absolutely chewing through enemy ground forces.
Real trick to get used to is Medivaccing your powerful dominated units to avoid them dying until they “expire”.
Yamato gun with Lone Wolf does like 600 damage!
Nope, that was the case but got changed a few years ago, Frenzy doesn’t stop mind control but does prevent stuns and slows (only some of those though, Blaze’s oil for example still slows them). Don’t recall if DA’s Confusion works though.
I just thought to add that I struggled utilising Vega as Lone Wolf because of the amount of micro she requires which means other outlaws get neglected and I found what works best for me is to set her to follow my ally army/hero and just switch to her occasionally to use her Dominate charges.
Never been a big fan of Vega in P2, I know she’s strong there but I definitely enjoy using her with P1 more, guess the extra charges are more my speed.

That sound more like Nikara.
No allies army should require the dedicated healing of Nikara, though if I don’t send Vega to follow them I will send Rattlesnake as much for the 15% attack speed boost as the healing.
As usual, the choice of which outlaw to tag along with the ally is dependent on the usual factors.
Gets annoying if my ally keeps dragging this extra outlaw on top of one of my outlaws when they need the Lone Wolf buff the most though.
I usually use Vega as my 5th when I have 2 or more muscle on my line up to allow them to attack air units. Very fun when against air terran or protoss comp.
It is strange how far away the Lone Wolf experience is from other Tychus’.
However I have to ask, why build muscle at all against air comps?
oh no I meant 2 things. Vega is fun vs air comps coz you get to steal capital ships. And I usually use her to supplement my muscle comp against air. Like DT/Phoenix or Immortal/Colossus but the AI also sends scouts alongside it.
Even against air, I’d build Rattlesnake, as my core trio for Tychus is Tychus/Rattlesnake/Nux, when not playing Lone Wolf. Having an AoE heal that can also give you and your ally attack speed is nothing to sneeze at. You also gain an additional body to shoot with against anything grounded, which is most maps. I actually prefer Rattlesnake over Nikara in 90% of situations.
Agreed. Rattlesnake is really a must in any self-respecting Tychus comp. I would take Vega just to allow him to pummel air units. He deserves that much love.
A. Lone Wolf doesn’t need a healer. Lone Wolf is the most “respected” Tychus comp.
B. Rattlesnakes damage isn’t high enough to justify Vega just for that.
C. No problem mixing in Vega and Rattlesnake together against an air comp and taking advantage of the synergies there.
I love Vega! I can get up to about 20-25 Protoss units stolen at once with all her upgrades, usually carriers and immortals because both are slower and will live longer.
One great use for Vega is to grab a battlecruiser, warp it into the heart of the enemy, and then drop the Odin with a nuke. ULTRAKILL!!

I think Interceptors miss out on the Vega buffs so are weaker as an option compared to other dominate choices.
Immortals are ridiculous though as P2 Lone Wolf. Even 3-4 of them can wipe an enemy encampment with the attack speed boost and +300% damage. BCs as well do something like 750 damage Yamatos.
Edit: 900 damage Yamatos
