http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LO2EYB1SI don't know what this was but the guy said he found a bug. It occurs late in the game so fast forward if you can. Foss with perma invis even when attacking just isn't right O.o

This shows how little you actually know about the game gwypaas. Foss was an amazing titan before neco changed him. Powerful minions, great early game base killing,a nd if your minions survived (which any decent player should have no problem with) you had a free healing ward that stacked for each minion you had. Titan of the Crypt was classified as HARD for a reason.

Minions that required to be high level to be decent, terrible base killing without them, and if your minions survived (which any decent builders should have no problem killing) you had an expensive, feed-taking healing ward that stacked with each minion you allowed to steal feed from your main titan. Titan of the Crypt was classified as HARD because there is nobody that knows how to play him!

i rarely lose as foss sure hes hard to mass nuke with minions i end up doing 1 and them 4 more with them in the air. pearl (give it to the minion when possible) + 4 super regen + armor of fate + stack damage tomes (dont burrow once u have got a tome as burrow removes it) this build will lead you to victory, but there was the game it took 5 hours to win (so you need patience) basically the strat i play is, get a minion as fast as you can (dont let it die) use it to farm around mid. while attacking lumberbases with the main ect for the game once/if you get to the point, im level x with these items and i cant crack any base. attack walls over and over farm up gold finish the build keep farming those walls on the base until you finish the build or stack enough tomes to dominate. if there denying the walls on you wardblock them its not a build you lose, unless you are inexperienced / greedy or just not patient enough.

You play pubs. This is completely true. Contrary to popular belief, just because foss has great regen with minions, that doesn't mean you should go for MORE with spines. Tridents are almost always better. I could pick any titan and win any game in 5 hours. It is stupid as hell to stall a game for that long, and I usually leave games after 1 hour. The titan, in any practical sense, loses after 1 - 2 hours. That's the general strategy for most titans. Killing walls for gold only works on inexperienced players. Decent players will cut their walls down to the bare minimum level needed to keep the titan away and deny them. An attrition game is not a win. Then they turn around and kill the ward. Easy. So basically, to win as Foss, you need to farm farm farm farm, then once you hit the bases, farm off of their walls for hours and then finally break in? What makes him good again? Any other titan can win a game in half the time.

Then just set up minion cocoons right outside tower range and voila. With the perfect amount of regen and block it's easy to never go back to mound, and being so close it makes ganking cocoons impossible, especially with a fog gen or added luxory item. After you break the base just pop abysmal and you win. Granted it takes a lot of gold but ya know what? So does stacking tridents, so does massing regen/fates/combo items. There's more than one way to play a titan, especially when your open to so many end game options because of the type of feed you got (IE: EXP/Gold feed.) You just have to adjust.

Foss is a bad titan. It is as simple as that. Yes he can be great if there is feed around and you can level up your minions to 6, the problem is he is only good if that happens.
lets compare the 2 titans that actually rely on minions, foss and demon.
Demon & Foss both have best early base destruction potential
Demon: Heal is shit except for once you get minions Not able to ww kill builders unless they run into you by chance Great scouting ability Minions only need to be level 2 to be effective all other feed can go to titan Decent unqiue
Foss: Great heal Shit ww, better than demon's Has to level ww if he wants it to be more effective Shitty scout REQUIRES MINIONS to be fed if he wants to even be a threat
And let me point this out, this is comparing Foss to a sub par titan. Foss never stands a chance against syph in comparing titans.

Foss works great, he just has a different play style than other titans. People can't seem to adapt to change very well.

I never understood why Foss wasn't given a Dark Swarm type ability that allowed him to use burrow after GP.

i wasnt loseing, nor were they it was a stale mate if the titan is strong enough to kill a few walls and run without dying he can eventually win for obvious reasons, but it is douche move, and as builder I'd just leave and let him have his "win"

Titan not being able to break a base isn't a stalemate. If there is no more feed and he can't get em with nukes, then he loses. I don't think this was designed to be played that long. Besides, a builder could easily just deny the walls if he sees you doing that.
