Strong points? The enlightened. EMP's cripple your enemies and the supercharged particle beams make your shredder-turrets very very awesome, as well as making the Enlightened even better. If you want to take out some armor, you had best collect some stealth tanks or avatars though, as it is the only thing that takes them down with relative ease, although the EMP's make you forget about that completely.

sorry, maybe its just the style of play i prefer, but i would rank marked of kane near the bottom of the list for best factions...and that includes the core factions...

Good strategies? sure I'll give you that. Well first they can do venom spam which if you have suffiecent ground power to take out those hard-hitter AAs (slingshot, Mantis, STank) then that works good. You can use the reckoner at the enemy tiberium field with rocket squads and with the cybernetic legs upgrade fill in the extra slot with a Enlightned, it'll hurt the enemy bad. Basically they're a glorified version of Core Nod, their tactics are about the same with the difference that MoK has better venoms and infantry but they can't use flame tanks in attacks or use the stealth flame tank tactic but overall they're better than Core Nod.

better than the talons?????!
i dont know about that...but i do have to say, that the talons have a real weakness no other faction does, that being that their tanks are walker units, meaning vulnerable to commando C4, for example, if you spam some titans, with no wolverine back up, a commando is ur worst nightmare...

That's not their main weakness. Their main weakness is that the Titan is cost-ineffective when compared to Preds. They also lack advanced inf which makes them a vehicle faction, but like I said before, Titans are not really worth it compared to preds.
If there would be some sort of good/bad faction list, MoK would def. place above ST.
MoK is a hit and run faction, they're very micro intensive and require a great amount of time and effort to master them. Using Tib troopers to slow down vehicles, then EMPing them with your enlightened/awakened, and then destroying the vehicles with your anti vehicle units is one of the many things about MoK that is hard to properly master. They're simply not a faction where you hit Q and attack.
Btw, I'm not a MoK player. Too much micro, I prefer Reaper, Black Hard and ST

Zocom and the Talons are far superior to the Marked in my opinion, Zocom raiders devastate infantry, more so when put in a hammerhead, the talons wolverines and titans when backed up with slingshots are formidable foes. Core Nod i dislike (im not a fan of Nod and its factions at all to be honest) but even still i find that either relying on vertigos or avatars and stealth tanks will bring victory
The Marked aren't so bad, they have incredible infantry but you need to back them up with stealth tanks and avatars to have a strong army capable of defeating anything, except the scrin victory fleet unless you have a hell of alot of stealth tanks.

Yeah, unfortunately BH is kinda shit this patch. Infantry spam is too easily countered, and Purifiers need some kind of buff.
