In that case, it's still viable that perhaps this "super Sentry" charges up its attacks, which is visually represented by the electric ball in the middle. As the charge grows, the ground attack becomes stronger, possibly also doing a decent amount of splash damage a la Reaver-style. However, it needs to charge before battle, and each attack depletes the charge. As a result, I could see this unit being paired with the Warp Prism for harassment. The unit gains charge while in the Warp Prism, then gets dropped to nuke a worker line before being lifted again to safety as it regains its charge. Basically Reaver 2.0. This would be sick. I'm sure they'll consider that the enemy could see that unit charging up, and can just run away. Somewhat like baiting FFs. Maybe early release? But still, it'd be hard getting a fully charged shot off. We'll see soon enough. | ||
