Mengsk is just janky AF and, it kinda works?

So, his workers are his basic infantry, his bunkers are supply depots and those big hulking artillery guns are also bunkers?

I hardly even get to the air units because I’m way so busy frantically managing my weapons, loading my bunkers, unloading my bunkers, swapping my workers back and forth between modes, sending them to oblivion, replacing the workforce/infantry, recovering weaponry and trying to figure out what the point of those earthsplitter cannons actually is (seriously if somebody could explain those things to me that’d be dandy) …
I just don’t have the spare second to get the buildings up.

But that all being said this guy has a pretty beefy economy.
And he can break rocks pretty damned fast.
The on demand swarm is pretty nifty.
And for all my gripes, having your build crew out in the field at all times is also weirdly useful at times as the troops themselves can fortify a position with all the fixings in seconds without having to drag along Scvs.
The Royal guard are Seriously pricey but kinda worth it I guess.

After like 10 tries I was able to carry a level 8 mengsk through a Brutal+6 with Zeratul cannons, I dont think it would have been doable without Mengsk’s really strong early game, honestly I feel like he has the strongest early game right now out of all the commanders.

I don’t have a problem getting to air. My problem is that his Royal Guard are absurdly expensive on the gas. For a Commander without any gas bonuses, it hurts a lot. Especially if you’re going to 3/3.
I wonder what his masteries will be…

Ok, I don’t get it. Aside from the fast economy, he seems to be weaker (by a landslide) that 1v1 Terran on all fronts.

His Sky Furies base movement speed is a total joke, but I’ve only played one game with him.

Going to take awhile to get the hang of it, but he seems fun.

I’d say his ghost are by the most power unit he’s go so far. I like building up like 30 nuke silos and just being able to insta kill every attack wave. The EMP stun is also really great.
