No, it has both tags in battle mode. It is Light - Biological - Mechanical. It uses Vehicle upgrades. It can be put into bunkers. | ||

My common sense is a bit irked from this change. Especially since it seems like a unelegant hotfix to make mech more viable. Gameplay wise however, this is a great change to make it easier for meching terrans to defend their tank lines. And people should stop assuming that just because battle hellions are biological that they can fit into a MM deathball. Not only do they not share the same upgrade path, but they are extremely immobile compared to stimmed MM. | ||

Now bioball have something to tank dmg and melt zealots away. Sadly, you are correct. Terran finally has use other than scouting for that Factory when playing bio, since they can now build bio units from it! And to counter improved bio, Protoss receives... a 15 range Capital ship with DPS equal to... a couple of SCVs. Sounds good... sigh. Did Blizzard have a plan for HOTS that they are following to improve it, or are they just winging it? Because it seems like the latter. | ||

Just because you're now oriented vertically doesn't mean suddenly everybody's going to attack at the meaty part and the vehicle is going to stay pristine. Then as soon as the driver dies, the vehicle goes boom. | ||

Come on, Blizzard. You want to add Firebats to the game? Just add them. Stim alone makes them more interesting than this. Add Vultures too while you're at it. | ||

Battle Hellion While in Battle mode, the hellion is now classified as a Biological unit. while in battle mode, the hellion turns into a firebat blizzard blizzard blizzard.... i guess firebats can be healed by medivacs AND repaired by SCvs at the same time. do they honestly not think/test when they try to balance shit or do they just throw something in and hope it works? | ||
