does the vortex itself do dmg ? or can the archons dmg the battlecruiser when inside the vortex ? if so, the battlecruiers are then unable to do dmg ? or so it seemed ? | ||

Archons do splash damage, and when the vortex ends, all the units inside the vortex are packed up in a very small area and then spread out over time. This is enough time for the archons to attack once, which splashes all the units -> they instadie. | ||

Even though this is a very expensive strat on paper we could see this or some variations, like storm + vortex, coming into play in some long PVTs since templars are already made there against a very bio heavy army. SC1 PVTs usually saw arbiters get some action and the cost for that was arbiter tribunal (200/150), arbiter (100+350) with a total of 300/500. SC2 is slightly more expensive with fleet beacon at 300/200 and mothership 400/400 for a total of 700/600. If you count recall and khaydarin amulet research costs then its much closer. Vs zerg mindcontrol would totally kill this strat. If only they made mothership immune to neural parasite.... SC2 gameplay,players and maps needs to develop to SC1 levels though for this to happen. Most games at this stage tend to be very short for such far sighted stuff to happen. | ||

This is a good counter to Terran mass air i guess, but unlikely for a Terran to go mass air in TvP. Still epic though :p | ||

Although I think the old one with FF was more entertaining before it was nerfed. | ||

Take home message: if you are going to have a mothership get 4ish archon around and you just have something that will absolutely destroy their main force. this is huge. This is the protoss trump card. | ||
