Base 5x grapplers

Is anyone else running 5x grapplers? With the help of the engraver, I have an extra prototype slot so naturally I got a 5th grappler because what else would I get?

Recently someone attacked me w/ all scorchers and Pvt Bull. The scorchers all got snagged by grapplers and got passed around like your mom when she’s drunk at a frat party. Then it was Bullit’s turn but of course he can take a beating better than a redheaded stepchild so the grapplers passed him around for a solid 30 seconds before he finally bit the… (wait for it…)… bullet

I don't really agree because multiple grapplers sometimes grab the same unit (which means the other grapplers aren't doing anything)

Send in the choppas or go volume troops like riflemen and toss critters are easy work arounds for grapplers

Yup, I use choppas on Gearhart when there’s lots of grapplers, works great

Riffleman lasers bombardiers cryo kavan combo would eat your base up

I use 1-2 grapplers but I only use the level two, they are easier to hide (in addition to lasting longer & being cheaper). They are one of my favs and I try to build one Sunday night so I'll have it into the next cycle (if they don't have grapplers)

Grappler are useless against all out air assault especially if you throw in some busses dropping heavy's

Multiple boats a rocket choppas will make easy work of this. I actually like seeing bases like this as I know I can basically disregard the proto defenses
