EPTHellion has 90 HP
If the DPS really is what Roemy posted it's a no contest in head up fights.
Useful if you can kite OFF creep or gank some drones though.

It seems to me that if you get critical mass and micro them a bit they can be really good. The reason behind me asking is that I normally do a pretty fast hellion eco harass when infernal preignitor is completed, if I can get into the zergs base and i don't suicide to many of the hellions i find myself in a pretty good position with 2 factories up and a growing M&M ball. However, if I don't do enough damage to the zerg hydras I'm in trouble because hydras are really good against M&M unless you are marine heavy. At work, so can't post any replays. And most games usually end pretty early after 5 hellions with preignitor kill off every single worker. If you are getting early hellions, I highly recommend reactor first on factory to mass up and do an early harass - preigniter is amazing but you trade the higher damage for a much lower hellion count. But yeah, hellions with the upgrade can crisp hydras very quickly, however all the zerg has to do is make roaches to counter, so you would want to bring marauders as well. Hellion + Mara is very strong, especially when you add Thors later. | ||
