i just saw julyzerg vs artofterran vod holy crap art is really good.
the announcers called him the terran with no fear. he was attacking a zerg that had dark swarm and lurkers HEAD ON with marines and firebats and won.
wow never seen this before. any ways is the firebat considered to be melee damage or does only the splash damage work in the swarm like the splash from the archons thx
|
I think it's considered melee damage, so it will deal full damage inside dark swarm.

Yeah, I think it's full damage. Fbats own against zeal and basically all Z ground except for Ultras, thats why pros use em so much in TvZ ^^
Refer to Nada's BBQ pimpest play. =o

the splash damage works inside the dark swarm... basically, all close range attack works inside the dark swarm, thats why lings are so deadly with dark swarm.. lurker will work in dark swarm for obvious reasons

only the splash damage or the full damage??

and doesnt the fire hurt both lings and lurks (if lings on top of burrowed lurks)??
16 damage? Goddamn that's a lot. bats are terribly underused... ;(
|
thx wanted to know if its full or only splash archons do only splash in it yeafirebats own. the only thing they cant take is the ultralisks.
|
ahk:Bats do concussive damage so there are alot of things besides ultras they don't work good against. Bats for lings/drones, rines for everything else
|
bats cannot handle lurks or hydras :[

if you ever get the chance vs. some noob zergs it is fun to occupy their swarm with your firebats/ mm/ tank and use it agains them.
but yeah, firebats are good to have because they are one of the few terran units that can effectively deal damage to lurks under the cover of the swarm due to their melee nature.

Hehehe, did you also know that fbats can hit from the cliff if the enemy is close enough?

They're actually the _only_ terran unit that can hit a lurker under a swarm. Spider mines don't count

Firebats Deal All their damage as Splash, Since splash works under Dswarm All of Firebats damage counts ; )

yeah, after watching artterran vs july i was about to post a link about this. the game was absolutely amazing and i've never seen any pro terran use firebats under swarm so effectively. for many instances i thought artterran lose for sure, but dang! my mouth was wide open after watching this game ^^

|
artofterran is exactly what his name says and yes fb's do 100% under swarm
