I think the best use of this would be against banshee harass. Just build one or two replicants and you get the harass capability of an entire tech tree without any of the work.

As the replicator is a flying unit, I'm thinking maybe, using it in conjunction with mass recall, to get immortal harass without using a warp prism, so instead of spending 200/0 on a warp prism, you spend 200/200 on the replicator and get an immortal and harassment done, and on the way there if you see your opponent is going banshees, you can replicate a banshee instead and recall them home safely.

And if your opponent is going marines, zerglings or mutas, you can always keep the replicator or bring home a worker. Instead of thinking of this unit to stop one strategy, to take over one unit, I think the cost was meant to discourage that, and was meant to be used as a sneaky little fucker.

late game, mass recalling around a few siegetanks in siege mode around to defend bases would be kick arse, if you could get a viper it would be well worth the cost of the replicator to make all of his roaches/hydras useless, and be able to detect them running slowly burrowing away.

And we haven't even begun to think about the BM this unit would enable... Protoss will have the ultimate BM of replicating marines and making them dance!


The replicator isn't a flying unit

source: Played HOTS twice at blizzcon.

Weird I know.

Probably to avoid the situation of replicating a ground unit over non-ground.

A fun strategy would be NP a replicator and then make it copy something worthless.

I don't get the ghosts one
Ghosts are good against Zerg and Protoss... but not terran.
200/200 is an awful lot to get a shot at some EMPs against ghosts..
What if I spread them?

Ahh without detection... for some reason I skipped over that
I still don't see it as a major threat. Ghosts don't do nearly as much damage as any other cloaked unit...

Replicate the new thor. If it's possible you could have multiple copies of a unit of which the Terran is only allowed one.

No massive units can be replicated.

I would think using these with speed-upgraded warp prisms would be pretty nifty in PvT. Fly an observer over his production facilities and wait for something cool to pop out. Tanks, banshees, whatever. Have a warp prism (maybe with speed) nearby with a replicator in it. Fly in, unload, change the replicator to whatever that unit was, load back up and fly home. Now you can make as many of those as you want in the safety of your main with more replicators...

Edit: didn't realize you could do this from your base anyway, I thought you needed line of sight.



Replicant has unlimited range, you can replicate from the safety of your base + observer

I do like this idea a little
But what about the synergy between things like... Siege tanks, zealots and sentries vs a bio ball? I would much rather have siege tanks or medivacs if I were protoss.

I wonder. Can you replicate your replicated units? Like, if you managed to snag a ghost, could you just mass replicants and have them all copy that ghost-copy you just got?

so... units get full upgrades? zerg units get burrow tech?
if so, then i'd actually copy a tunneling(!) baneling in pvz while positioned near a juicy mineral line

rock is fine.. paper could need a buff, but scissors have to be nerfed

That actually sounds a bit ridiculous lol
Replicate an scv,drone from your own base -> Turtle Hard with colossus -> Have better late game army than opponent, always without the opponent being able to deny

If the unit is available with all upgrades and extra things does this mean if you copy a ghost it will have a nuke ready? :D
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

No because it's not an upgrade, nuke is more like a unit that takes no supply. You would need to build a ghost academy and a factory to have the nuke.
