Greetings to all!
Almost upgraded the Fenix to level 15… But I still can’t figure out what kind of army he should create? Following one guide, I’m trying to create all 6 champions + mass adepts and Conservator, but I feel very insecure ((

I don’t know what the optimal is, but I just recruit everything that has an AI shell. When cycling thru recruitment buildings, I check Fenix’s special building to see how many of each of the AI shells he has. I try to maintain at least 3 of each, then focus on the ranged infantry unit after that (I forget their name but they take the Stalker’s place for normal Protoss army).
Conservators improve the army, but I don’t get them until the late game because there’s so many things to go back to the base and manage that I just A-move the army until I’ve got all my infrastructure built and hotkeyed. I don’t use Disruptors at all.
I try to get the maximum bonus out of having the number of each hero unit. If I remember right, 4 carriers total (including the hero) gives the hero the maximum boost. It’s not really explained well.
most maps end to early to setup the strongest army. therefore i recommend to only get 2-3 champs, chosen depending on enemy comp
in my opinion conservators might be the strongest support unit in coop. iirc it gives 35%dmg less taken for you and your allie. thats kinda insane

In more cases than not, I just get the Gateway and Robotics Bay champions. Really streamlines things. If there’s heavy air, then work in Carrier and Mojo.
I wouldn’t recommend trying to master the 6 champion build right away especially if you’re not in masteries yet. What I did was scout out the enemy comp with a worker and counter respectively. If you get an air comp mass scouts and carriers. If Ground comp mass Immortals, Colossi, and Carriers. Aside from those I always get 12 Adepts and at least 2 conservators.
Now that I am at max level. I can comfortably run the 6 champion build with some compensations. If against air I only build 1 immortal (to be a taldarin host), don’t get any Legionnaires and mass scouts. If against land then I only get 1 scout (to be a Mojo host) and get what I didn’t get vs. air.

you can check the purifier hub (or whatever the place where you research champions as) and it will give you a tooltip of what the current network bonus is for the champion you are hovering currently. It’s different depending on what supply unit you are running. IIRC it’s 8 legionnaires, 14 adepts, 6 Immortals, 8 scouts, and 5 carriers/colossi to max the network bonus but correct me if I’m wrong.

OK I reread the tooltip and it looks like you need 20 supply worth each unit type, not counting the hero. However, when you look at Fenix’s AI building, the number displayed already discounts the hero unit. It will be grey if there is no hero unit, yellow with a zero count if there’s only a hero unit, and then from there it counts the number of non-heroes.
So to maximize the bonus you need (number as displayed at Fenix’s AI building):
10 adepts,
7 legionaires & scouts,
5 immortals,
4 carriers & colossi.
However, for most of those units the last one counts for less than a normal amount, especially for carriers & colossi.
