Is there a straight percentage of the time where attacks will miss? Do lurkers or firebats follow this percentage? When a splash attack misses (like siege tank shot), is it misplaced like with dark swarm? How do doodads compare? | ||

The Starcraft Compendium and manual say that there's a 30% miss chance, but it tests closer to ~54% in practice. Do lurkers or firebats follow this percentage? No. Generally, though, the firebat's range is too short to be of much significance in this scenario. The miss chance also does not affect reavers, however the scarab's being essentially a ground melee unit means it requires a ramp to traverse different elevations. When a splash attack misses (like siege tank shot), is it misplaced like with dark swarm? Yes. The same rules about burrowed units as described on page 2 also apply here. How do doodads compare? Being hidden behind doodads is calculated the same as being on higher ground. However, some specific doodads do not confer a miss chance.

Mind Controlling a transport unit confers control of both the transport unit and its contents. | ||

When I mind control a unit, does it come with any of the upgrades (ie movespeed, extra energy) or spells that the opponent had already researched for it? | ||

It doesn't come with weapons or armor/plating/carapace upgrades but it does come with speed/range/energy etc. I think the exception to this is scarab damage, you will get that, but no forge/cyb/ebay/armory/evo/spire upgrades. | ||

This is correct. Mind Control transfers all opponent research on a particular unit except for individual numerical upgrades. For example, casting mind control on a +5/+3 ultralisk will give you an ultralisk with +2/+0 upgrades. That is because chitinous plating is a qualitative upgrade researched separately from the regular numerical ones. | ||

May never happen in games, but it's still interesting to think that I could have some +2/+0 speed ultras and some +0/0 slow ultras at the same time. Nope, if you mind control a zealot with leg speed then all your zealots get leg speed too. | ||

I think it can happen with hydras too. anyone know why this happens/how reproducible it is? I'd definitely abuse lurker runby in a tournament setting if it were feasible hahah. Ugh what the fuck. I actually checked the page before asking any of my questions. Apparently I'm illiterate. Sorry for asking when I could have easily found out myself. It happens with zealots, too. They have to be running in opposite directions, and then when they collide they both try to get by each other. I don't know how to recreate it, though. It just happens for me accidentally. | ||
