I try very hard to play Mengsk and is too weak , very gas limited all prestiges.
Can we improve this point please?

He’s definitely good, as I’ve had plenty of Mengsk allies hold their own. I don’t like using him since he’s not my playstyle though. Troopers are the backbone, but supported by Royal Guard, are strong. Aegis Guard (Marauder) are always worth getting to help tank for Troopers. Make ESO to soften up the opposition.
Others will have to chime in on advanced strategies though

It really depends on what you want to roll with. Although I think most build orders really require you to rush your expo and max your gas harvesting asap. Putting at least 24 (at least for P2, others can go full 30) in mandate mastery will set you up for success since it allows you to drop a bunker on rocks at game start.
I myself prefer P2 and I think it’s the prestige that really needs the fastest expo grab since RGs are gas intensive. If you want to main P1 you will need to research the best places to build your artillery cannons for every map (this week’s mutation is a good exercise for this). For P3 you need to learn how many troopers with bigger guns to have at a time since they tend to overkill things or worse die prematurely against army comps that have AoE (like Ravens, HT/Disruptors, or Infestors).
Mengsk is a bit weak early on but scales insanely hard and his artillery can clear entire bases for free, his prestige are self-explanatory about what they do. If you’re sick of his high gas costs then play P3 as his troopers become incredibly cost-effective and the discount to their weapons works defensively since you can stick them into his bunkers.
He is definitely not weak. One of the best commanders in the game, actually.

I have a lot more Mengsk guides and examples of high level gameplay on my channel.
