===Strategy===
====General====
*On early game, Yapyap is excellent at harassing enemy units. Since Cannon fodder is a disposable unit and can be produced as many as player wishes for, use it to explore and act as a scout. Though be wary as it only consumes the population.
*{{Pattern|Pnap|Goblin}} is a very difficult hero to beat without proper strategy. With three goblins around, the Grunts can use Hustle and keep themselves alive most of the time. Note that Energy Shield recuperation will not be affected by Hustle.
*'''Grunt Dome''' leader power is effective to counter several leader's offensive leader power. A maximum level of Grunt Dome can resist '''Eradication''' leader power if used correctly.
*'''Guilt Trip''' affects all players units and it can prevent the enemy to gain veterancy faster. Though be careful as several leaders, such as Captain Cutter's '''Battle Hardened''' Leader Power can counteract it as it can accelerate the veterancy rate.
*'''Shade Drop''' Leader Power is extremely annoying if used correctly. Although it has a set of duration, it's enough to harass the enemy.
*'''Please Don't Shoot Me''' was a double-edged sword. Use it wisely as it can give either benefits or disaster to you.
**During the duration, any non-offensive leader power can be utilized.
**Note that this means Nightingale and Huragok can heal wounded units during the duration without the worry of attack by the enemy.
 
====Allies====
*Explore the map or sacrifice the Cannon Fodder to give your allies a sight or intel of the enemy's composition.
*If used correctly, '''Grunt Dome''' can turn the tides of the battle and rescue your allies.
*Utilize '''Please Don't Shoot me''' to set up kill zones or recuperate your personnel, as it will be handy when either you or your allies are in a pinch.
====Enemies====
*Anti-Infantry unit will play a big role to counter Yapyap's unit.
**Blisterbacks, Hellbringers, Sangheili Rangers, Snipers, Kodiaks, and any units that were effective against infantry were recommended.
**Better if the Anti-Infantry unit features Area of Effect to maximize the damage.
*Commander Jerome ([[M650 Mastodon|Mastodon]]), Ripa 'Moramee ([[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Phantom]]), and Pavium ([[Eklon'Dal Workshop Wraith Invader|Wraith Invader]]) are recommended to counter Yapyap due to having a mobile garrison that allows them to counter-harass Yapyap's unit.
**Since these three leaders have the mobile garrison that allows them to conduct a hit and run strategy, keeping them occupied is the least you can do.
**Furthermore, you may not know what kind of complement inside the mobile garrison should you encounter one.
