ProtossĪnd rounding out the changes, are the Protoss. The ability can hit both air and ground units, and also will destroy any forcefields it comes in contact with. A mortar-style area of effect skill-shot which, once fired, impacts after a short delay. While stronger than the roach, its effectiveness heavily relies on player micro due to its activated ability: Corrosive Bile. The Ravager is a new unit which morphs off of the Roach. The Lurker has an available Tier 3 upgrade which substantially increases its attack range.
It deals line-based splash damage, but can only attack while burrowed. The Lurker is a Tier 2 unit which morphs from the Hydralisk. Lastly, the Nydus Worm will now no longer take damage until it finishes unburrowing. Locusts have also been buffed, and can fly over terrain once upgraded to Tier 3. Swarm Hosts have now also been modified into a mobile harassment tool, with Spawn Locusts now being able to be used while in an unburrowed state, at the cost of a higher cooldown.
The ability does however, lock the Corruptor into place. Corruptors can no longer use the corruption ability, but can instead use Caustic Spray to channel increasing amounts of damage over time. In Legacy Of The Void, Zerg units now feature some new harassment buffs. Using the cyclone to its full potential and reacting to it well are both heavily dependent on micro. The Cyclone is a factory unit which can lock onto a target, then deal massive damage over time while on the move. Its attack deals short-range small-radius splash damage making it ideal versus Ling/Bane compositions, as well as versus Protoss “death-balls”. The Battlecruiser now also has a tactical jump ability, that will alllow it to teleport anywhere on the map, fog of war be damned.Īs for units, players will get the Herc and the Cyclone:Ī light-biological unit that can grapple onto a unit to quickly zip into battle.
Banshee units are now also faster once upgraded and will receive a +1 upgrade to attack range. Siege tanks can lifted and dropped by while maintaining siege mode within a Medivac transport, while Thor units will have their second attack mode High Impact Payload replaced with an Emergency Repair option. Here’s a look at the new units which you’ll be taking into battle: TerranĪccording to Blizzard, Terrans forces will be more mobile and diverse.
A new Starcraft means a bunch of new units. Naturally, the game is going to find some legs in the multiplayer department. And sweet Aiur, does it look like a classic trilogy-ender. It’s been under development for years now, and over the weekend at BlizzCon, we got our first look at the game. The next Starcraft II chapter arrives in the form of Legacy Of The Void, a sort-of-but-really expansion and standalone game that shines the spotlight on the Protoss and brings the current saga to an end.
