GK interceptors how to

Postby Flash » Sun 03 Aug, 2014 8:44 pm

I'm wondering what kind of initial build works for GKI. When to get them, first power purchase or after getting the regen armor? And then what order to get what in t2? The warding staff is nice to prevent them being knocked back. That's my usual weapon purchase. Should VA be first t2 unit purchase? I know it all depends on match-up and opponents composition, but I'm wanting to her people's thoughts on how best to utilize them. This is for team games, as I don't really enjoy 1v1.

Dunno if you really need to follow a prescribed build. But the canticle of absolution has a lot more synergy with GKI than the regen armor, the justicar on the strike squad does as well. So do flame purgations, as you can snare squads while you're jumping around and disrupting things with the interceptors :)

What I find is the transition into interceptors is usually rough. I can't seem to make them my first power purchase. I find just a ss and one or two ist can be difficult to maintain position, so I frequently get blessed aegis first which sets them back when I need them earlier. Any tips on timing are also super appreciated.

Very familiar with the canticle combination, I usually don't use purgation in conjunction with them though. Will give it a look. Do you recommend interceptors or the purgation first? Purgation is cheaper and helps you maintain your lane sooner, but then suppression could really stall me there

interceptors should probably be your last purchase in T1. they aren't really an essential part of a build, since a lot of the other GK T1 units can cover their roles. they get muuuuch better in T2 with the disruption from the justicar, once you have that they become really good at punishing late retreats and getting squad kills.
if suppression is stalling you, try to flank with the bro cap, use WATH and go balls to the wall and force them off.
here's a replay between me and frozen vapor which i think shows the potential of interceptors pretty well. I didnt punish them hard enough and they really messed up my army.
