This is the Banshee Rush for the Covenant on Halo Wars. This strategy was emailed to me by LordTaoTang
Check out his channel!
This is the Banshee rush. Similar I suppose to the Hornet Rush that the UNSC can do. Like the hornet rush it works very well.
LordTaoTang did point out however that upgraded ground units BEAT air units…thats why this strategy must have speed.
Step 1: Build warehouses
Step 2: Send Ghost to get supplies
Step 2a: Build 2x Turrets (LordTaoTang didn’t actually recommend this, I do it because I’m paranoid)
Step 3: After 3 warehouses built – build TEMPLE
Step 4: Build Summit – Keep gathering supplies with Ghost and Prophet alike
Step 5: Upgrade ALL warehouses FIRST
Step 6: Start pumping out Banshee’s till you have about 5
Step 7: Send 5 Banshees + Ghost + Prophet to enemy base and attack
Step 8: Move Rally Point to enemy base
Step 9: Target barracks, airpads, anything that can produce units
Again thanks for LordTaoTang for sharing this strategy with us.

how would you counter this rush it happens to me and after i kill all his planes with marines he sends in a big group of jackles and hunters its VERY CHEAP………..
I think they made covenent way to cheap the leader alone can do so much
1. spawn guys off of him self
2. teleport out of the battle when ever he wants
3. or he can stay just out of reach and keep sending guys in. There is no winning a good covenent player…………………
this is the cheapest with the prophet of regret bacause he has a shield when his shield goes down he leaves and comes right back VERY CHEAP VERY GAY YOUR NOT GOOD IF THIS IS WHAT YOU DO…………………………….

U talked about who would win a hornet v/ banshee rush. If the UNSC player as enough resources, just if, then he can drop a Cryo bomb assuming he is Professor Anders and probably kill of quite a few of ur air units. Correct placement will leave u unharmed and the surviving Covenant units frozen and unable to counter. So under these circumstances Hornets may bu more superior. But covenant leader “god powers” can scrap hornets as well, so just depends who has a better economy.

Hey i got a good rush for this two. Tell me if you like.
second summits build start double pumping banshees.
Step 1) build 4 warehouses
step 2) Gather supplies with the scout (one crate should get you 100)
Step 3) you should have 500 supplies so build a temple bye the time this all builds if you work fast its around 3 minutes if you were getting supplies why they were building you should get at least 4 supplie crates.
Step 4) When your temple builds you should have 1000 supplies (varries on your supplies gathered but 1000 with no supplies gathered) SO upgrade all your warehouses.
Step 5) once you get 400 supplies upgrade to Citidel
Step 6) Once you get 150 supplies build a summit then repeat on other space for double pump.
Step 7) once one summit builds you should have 200 suplies your choice get boost or start making banshees note your about 4:00 to 4:30 minutes in.
Step
Step 9) Attack (this rush or attack w/e is great in 2v2 or 3v3 because if an army get t defend a base you the boost upgrade to head to a new base and repeat)
But great vedio
i enjoyed it tell me if you like this tatic.
