EPTPhoenix just kind of... picks off helpless units... It's pretty boring. There's no "OMG RUN MY WORKERS!" it's just "oh, there's a Phoenix and there's nothing I can do about it until anti air arrives." Wow that's really interesting gameplay thx

Aside from having a worse avatar/voice, Phoenixes are way better than Corsairs were, probably even when comparing +1 sairs vs. mutas to phoenix vs. muta. They do 10 damage and +10 to light. Yeah, AoE eventually out does that, but in the 6 units range, I'd definitely take phoenixes over corsairs in PvZ. Plus Graviton is actually useful and in this silly hypothetical, you wouldn't have to worry about scourge if you had a phoenix. I think it's mainly the in the different roles that Mutas play that defines the effectiveness of each. In bw there were never more than 11 mutas in a group really, and usually stacked- so even a handful of corsair could completely shut that down. However, since there isn't the same stacking in SC2, corsairs would be less effective since mutas can go toe to toe with corsairs when they aren't stacked. As well, you often see muta flocks of close to 20, which would pick off corsairs before they could do any real damage. Anyways, corsairs are a better fit in bw, and Pheonix are a better fit in SC2- either would be worse in the other game. | ||

Graviton Beam is a really fun ability though, and the Phoenix has more roles - but sairs are more of a mainstay in a matchup. Hard to call. I agree with this also disruption web was freaking awesome in sc1 cuz it went so well with reavers speaking of which, reaver vs collossi. i think everyone would choose reaver m'i'rite? | ||

The phoenix definitely has multiple uses and is very powerful, but I just think the corsair is a more useful unit, or rather one that I would rather use than a phoenix. | ||

The Corsair would suck if it replaced the Phoenix in SC2. Magic-Boxing Mutas would pretty much nullify most splash damage. | ||

I like the phoenix and it is more versatile I guess, but nothing beats killing air in seconds with splash. | ||
