Some might disagree with me, but I think of Vasari as a knife. Quick, deadly, and efficient. But when your opponent has time to haul out a firearm, you'd better have a backup plan. Yay, metaphors.
Vasari gets tougher to play as the game goes on. Don't neglect your support cruisers (Overseer, Subverter). Those two can really pull your butt out of a tough spot in a conflict. Big guns are nice, and the Vasari have no shortage of them, but you need Overseers to keep them repaired. And the shield debuff from the Subverters helps more than you think, especially against Advent.
