1 It's weird that people are saying this when Jumpfac was broadly considered unusable against cloak bot, with no changes to any of those units since then. You can just spam Zeuses and win even on mid sized maps, Zeus shits on Pyro and Puppies and Jack, and you can just curbstomp his comm and any defences with them. This is why we added Moderators, but @ivand says Zeus does well vs moderator?! 1 It's weird that people are saying this when Jumpfac was broadly considered unusable against cloak bot, with no changes to any of those units since then.

3 Tick is always the cloakbot answer to superior raider units. A lot of them are higher weight longer range or have better riot capacity, but the tick will lock enemy raiders down. Pyro is also high weight, they're easier to avoid. If he loses Pyro's early, it's a big cost to him and he loses a ton of control. If you can't do this, transition into Zeus ASAP, which will force moderators and allow you to open the raider game back up again. 3 Tick is always the cloakbot answer to superior raider units.

7 For Micro tricks, avoid coming at the enemy in a line and point move orders, the flame will just blast through your whole pack. Overrun pyros using a concave, to maximize their aiming time and minimize their shoot-through. Wait until he starts moving in or jump in, then run at him hard. 7 For Micro tricks, avoid coming at the enemy in a line and point move orders, the flame will just blast through your whole pack. Overrun pyros using a concave, to maximize their aiming time and minimize their shoot-through. Wait until he starts moving in or jump in, then run at him hard. Never ever let him skirm you a few at a time and thin out your forces. Retreat back from him to your defenses if you don't have local superiority then engage on him when he goes into your static D or when you have a large enough army. His pyro's can survive and jump away and retain their full damage potential, then build up a critical mass. If this happens raid his cons, avoid engaging his pyros, put ticks among your defense line and wait until he engages on you to get the advantage back. Pyro's die very quickly and you can swing the whole game around if you can get his main pyro ball.
