what? ensnare slows attack rate? i thot it was just movement speed

not irradate on the same unit


so if you irratdiated 3 ultras in a triangle right next to each other, and had an irradiated vessel over them, each ultra die at the speed of 4 irradiates?

I guess you've never irradiated 12 vessels and flown them over a bio army. It's loads of funny on bgh.
everything but ultras dies instantly.

BTW: what's the name of that maneuver?

Ok: here's a fun trick I just tried when testing irradiate stack. Make a ton of marines, a dropship, a goliath, and a vessel. Irradiate the goliath, load it onto the dropship, then see how many marines you can load onto the dropship. I got 34 the first try. Freakin' infinite capacity dropship.

As a side note, I think 9 acid spores lowers attack rate by 53%. This could be wrong, but its what I read somewhere.

Acid Spores Stack
Ensnare does not stack
Acid spores + ensnare effects coincide
9 acid spores and an ensnare on a corsairs makes it fire slower than a reaver.

So if you had plague + ensnare only one of them would work? But if you had plague + acid spores they both would work? And plague + ensnare + acid spores only acid spores and the last recently cast spell would work? Ugh, confusing!

Btw, acid spores don't add damage they decrease armor right? And then they have the slow.

Acid spores increase damage. Level 0 muta hit on 9 acid spores does 18 to initial target, 12 on first bounce, and 10 on 2nd bounce. You subtract armor from that amount. I have heard they also increase the rate of psi storm damage by 1 each time it's calculated (every half second?). I guess that means a unit with 9 spores that's stormed would take 183 damage? I'll have to test it. It doesn't work with plague though.


From the compendium: "Each Acid Spore attached to an enemy unit will increase the Cooldown of the enemy's weaponry by 1/8th of the original cooldown value. The effects of the Acid Spores are cumulative, but any unit can only possess up to nine Acid Spores at any one time."

Psi storm does 112. I believe in 8 sections of 14 damage / half second.

183 was a typo. I meant 112 + 9*8 = 184. And I just tested it, and it does 184 damage to a unit with 9 spores. Testing spore + irradiate will be much harder.

Yes. Why don't you test it instead of starting a thread?

"Ensnare + acid spores stack!" is a much better thread than "Do ensnare + acid spores stack?"

Seriously, it's like 2 seconds to test.
