It can't replicate Massive Units...Therefore this unit is bullshit

Yeah, because getting any massive unit for cheaper would totally be a good idea, right?

I don't think it is bullshit, I can't imagine getting my infestors copied and get fungal'd while colossus beaming on my units


Or replicate ghosts and EMP the terrans ghost so that they cannot EMP your HT's. Or counter a banshee opening, by replicating the banshee.

Which is why only gimmick units were added to Toss.

It can replicate a ghost, cloak and then emp enemy ghosts. We will just have to wait and see how good this unit actually is.

Infestors, Vipers, Swarm Hosts, Ghosts, Tanks, Banshees, Ravens,Shredders, SCVs->Orbitals, Sentries, Voidrays, Immortals, Oracles.

This unit will be fun to watch in PvP. You will have Protoss who goes Robotics being able to "steal" units like Voidrays/Oracles from a Protoss who went Stargate.

I mean, apparently it also starts with full energy? (Some one from the MLG preview thing said something about transforming into a full energy Sentry) Imagine being able to quickly replicate a full energy Templar/Sentry in a pinch, or even a Raven! You will actually have Seeker Missle ready to use. Hell, you could use it to run around and blow up mineral lines :D

Honestly I can't understand why people don't like these units. Sure they aren't your typical units like the Stalker which is very basic at its core, but they have an absurd amount of depth to them--which is exactly what Protoss is lacking. The replicator is pretty much a high skill high reward unit, knowing when to use it and on what might make or break games

And What is with
Balance Panel
Terran vs Zerg heavily favors Terran in Korea. NA/EU seems fairly even.
Pro/Community feedback says 1/1/1 too powerful.
Blizzard agrees 1/1/1 was too strong pre 1.4
Blizzard agress EMP was too strong pre 1.4.
Immortal Buff
Still need some time to determine how the ratings have changed post patch.
Looking at general protoss buff
EMP Radius change?

So basically the unit is made to deal with these clumps of 50 Mutalisks that we so often (???) see in pro games. If the opponent is going the 50 mutas build on you, you best start building the fleet beacon.

As for the shredder, I really don't see how zerg can deal with it efficiently. Just drop it in the mineral line, possibly with some marines and it will take out all zerglings that comes to reinforce as well as all the drones.



There may be two shredders in the video but their fields cannot overlap, so the damage would be the same if it was just one.


@ Shredder

It has to burrow first to even attack, so they could just extend the burrow time a bit, and it is unable to activate if friendly units are nearby.


Is the Shredder able to hit air or only ground?


It can attack air as well


Shredder drops in mineral lines would be undeniably cool.

I don't see why they'd do this. Baneling mines weren't even used enough. These are going to be ridiculously strong. How much detection are we going to need o.O

I haven't seen anything about it being able to replicate more than once. I may be wrong though.
