Johnson's heal ability also adds damage reduction to any unit in the heal. Cyclops are also included in the mech overcharge.

This is awesome that you’re making beginners’ guides for this game after 3 yrs. i played hw2 when it first came out but wasn’t really into it. Played it again and I love it. I’d love to see a kinsano or yap yap guide

5:32 tier 2 upgraded pelican ability is really good. It had obscene reach, can take an entire army of mechs and colossi, and is free. Had a round where I dropped a massive army on an enemies base and he was distracted fighting my Yap yap teammate and had his base obliterated. Then I was just running around in the back lines trashing the enemies bases. I’ve found he has some good general counter units but has issues with the tankier super units like scarabs. This is why emp blast is super good, being able to Stun a super unit in a fight for like 5 seconds is very useful

My favorite thing is how well mantis’s counter basic infantry vehicle rushes. Had one time someone sent a marine hell at rush at me and my 10 mantises decimated them

I love mech, i love halo, i enjoy rts games, this is perfect

Johnson in 1v1 is D-tier. Sorry but that's just the truth. But in 2v2 or 3v3? Johnson is B-tier or even A-tier.

If your teammates can clutch for you early game as you get your mantis army built, Johnson's late game is powerful.

Personally I don't really like the mech angle for Johnson, to me it feels like they shunted him into that role because they didn't have any character for it. He should have been more of a combined arms commander imo, what could have been really neat is it changes so that each Hornet can carry a Marine squad, have him just in his ODST armor with a squad around him from a drop pod. I just feel the units don't match the character. The healing ability is perfect, fits the character exactly he should be focused on support more than direct damage but it should be a more combined arms push kind of thing. I'm hoping that we get a Halo Wars 3 some day and they put a design that really fits his character.

That all said he's still Johnson in attitude and character and I absolutely love him.
