Am I missing some easy strategy to counter repulsion or something? My fleet(s) get wrecked everytime I encounter this.

Not absolutely positive, but I think the Kodiak 'Charge' ability ignores repulsion...

The is no easy counter unforunately. The cobalts have sabatoge reactor, which disables abilities, and the Cielo can help you destory Guardians quicker with LRMS.

The best thing I've seen work so far, and understand, I'm saying that the TEC don't have a good answer, is to Make 3-4 kols's and have them target the Guardians. They'll never stop firing at the Guradians and the rest of the fleet, and Kol's are incredibably hard to destory, so if he does manually target one, you can retreat and heal it with a Hoshiko and give it a sheild boost from a dunov.

Really, to beat repulse, you need to out macro your opponent. Bring in a huge ass fleet because of your superior economy. That's how you beat repulse, well, at least as of the moment.

O, and to beat a dead horse, repulse is broken.

O, I almost forgot, the Dunov has an ability that disables other ships abilities. I think it has an area of effect, but don't hold me to that. It also makes fighters crash into that target because it magnetizs the target.

O, an by huge ass fleet, I mean much bigger than your opponents, preferably 3 ships for every 2 he has.

But they mainly fire forward, and if a guardian approaches them from the side or rear, their nice, 1800+ shields will last a nice long time.

Strikecraft could be used effectively vs fleets using repulsion if they weren't themselves countered so hard by flak. Most people are carrying some flak with them by this stage of the game. There is no clear counter to Repulsion, since there are usually 50+ Illuminators parked next to the Guardians. The ships that can counter the Guardians (Cobalts or a Dunov) get singled out by a smart player and die so fast to the Illuminators that it isn't funny. The reason Repulsion is so powerful is because it makes the one ship that can fight Illuminators, HC's, almost completely ineffective. Sucks to be TEC in this situation, so hopefully you have the bigger economy and can absorb terrible losses.

See this new thread.. 1.1 might have a very effective counter.
