So think what would be the best unit to transform into something. -Immortal -Sentery -Archon ( With all this morphing stuff i wouldnt doubt that protoss is getting a Dark archon ) W.e it is.. We just have to wait till they give us this little hint picture... Protoss units are very easy to tell apart so we shouldnt have to much trouble | ||

Could someone please explain why a Lurker seems to be a particularly desirable unit? It seemed bad to me in my eeexxtremely limited SC1 experience. | ||

Forces the other side to use detection and would be useful in a battle on home soil | ||

It seemed bad to me in my eeexxtremely limited SC1 experience. In this game, Savior epicly uses stop lurkers (like burrowed banelings) to bait marines. He shows the enemy Lurkers on top of the ramp, luring him into a false sense of security. He then takes the chance and waits for more marines to show up before releasing the stop. In general, Lurkers were the ideal counter to marines. Start watching this from 9:00 or so. It shows a typical LurkerLing army composition with Defilers against late-game protoss. Imagine planted siege units with Zerglings flanking and getting in the way, and you can imagine how annoying it'd be to break through. Plus, Lurkers are invincible against ranged units under Dark Swarm (the brown cloudy thing that Defilers can create). | ||

But I guess you can think about a unit thats siedged, cloacked, doubles the hellion range but has 20 base damage. | ||
