Well, obviously NO mix is going to be invincible, that's the whole point of balancing the game. You should base your units on what the enemy has, and take signs of what's to come with proper scouting. Example: If you see more than 3 Statues, you know Destroyers are coming soon. If you see Chimaera Roost, you know Chimaera are coming. In those situations, melee should be minimal, most of the time non-existant.

Orc vs UD: Vs. Mass Fiends - Chieftan/Tauren/WDoctor/Berserker works well when you spam wards. Also, remember to position your Tauren Chieftan to get the full effect of War Stomp.

Orc vs HU: Vs. Rifle/Caster - Far Seer/Chieftan(max aura first)/Shaman/Tauren/Grunts/Demolisher

Orc vs NE: Vs. Hunt massers - Far Seer/Naga Sea Witch(Shadow Hunter on non tavern)/Grunts/Demolishers.

Orc vs Orc: Vs. Wyvern - Far Seer/Naga Sea Witch(SH)/Grunt/Raider/Shaman/Berserker
Vs. Grunt/Tauren/Caster - Far Seer/Naga Sea Witch(SH)/Grunt/Tauren/KODO=KEYTOWIN/Shaman
Vs. Gruntapult - Far Seer/Naga Sea Witch(SH)/SPEEDSCROLL/Grunt/Kodo/Shaman/Raider

It's a general list of common matches. Do not follow word for word, and do not hold me responsible for losing despite using one of these mixes. I'm giving you a suggestion only, from here on out it's your business to micro, not mine.

I dunno but i like to use grunts shamans wyvs and like 2 kodos worx really well

 

[Beer $lut]

Heres another one.

Orc Vs. Ud (Fiends/stats/aboms) Get grunts at first and evenutally get taurens but dont focus on getting grunts you need a good army of berserkers and probally bloodlust. Get about 5 taurens with pulverise to own the aboms and meat shield the bersekers.

yea that strat is not bad but i like my strat worx so well in team games

 

[Samsara]

my universal strat is:

TC + SH(dark archer is awesome here)
4-6 tauren
4-6 berserker trolls
2-3 demolishers
4 witch doctors
3 shamen and spirit walkers
2 kodo
rest raiders.

^^ u sure u'll be able to handle microing them? its total of 26 units... anyways, i think some kodos, 3 shadmen + 2 spirit walker + 3 witch doctors + 3 taurens + 5 troll with 2 heros would be nice

 

[Torubu]

Never underestimate the power of ensnare and devour combined with micro. They dominate Orc vs. Orc, and work well in alot of matches.

oh yea, forgot about that ^^;;;;;

 

[Samsara]

oh and i take your micro skill as a given sry if ur not used to having six groups

i tend to have heros in one group, melee in another (so i can surround easily), ranged/air units in another (focus fire heros), casters/kodo in the back (so i can move them out of harms way), lumber peons in the next group so i can get to battle stations quickly and finally all of the unit producing buildings like barracks.


hmm.....ensnare+devour? gotta try that sometime.
