If it's really bigger then it's stupid. Splash should be smaller, just like archon's.

Nope, the two attacks are separate; the ground attack does 10 +10 to mech, rather than being a passive ability that increases damage to mech.

So it's basically like a non-bio Marauder that pops from the factory and can hit air?

Oooook.

This is a Warning!

Reason: Misinformation. Archon splash has a radius of 1, while the Thor's anti-air splash radius is 0.5.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,

It has 11 range AA. its a siege type range.

The splash radius is somewhere between .5 to 1.

it is more effective at killing boxed muta's and mutas in general. That is its whole purpose of it TvZ as it stands, beside being another meat-shield for tanks. Perhaps countering broods in low numbers the way thors do atm with BFH and repair support.

Thor were decent again BLs because terran usually had mech upgrade and zerg usually never get any +armor on air so the thor does quiet a bit of damage if he has +2 or even +1. I still dont believe warhound are going to be that bad because dont forget, they are now faster as well so they can get under or closer to the BLs and deal damage. Of course they are squishiers than the thor so they do die faster but I think this is worth trading for speed and quantity. I personally dont see why this unit should get splash for air....it doesnt really make sense lol. It seem that it would be way to strong vs air mutas but i dont know how well magic box will do though. I also dont see why they are range 7 on ground lol, I think range 6 is fine enough. We will have to see :D




I like this idea

That's pretty expensive, the Goliath for comparison was 100/50, although from what I heard the Warhound has an outrageous 240hp.

Whoever reported me for that should relearn basic math. Area is PI times radius squared so double radius mean four times area. So where exactly is my misinformation there ?

Thor deals full damage in 0.5 radius

Archon
Full damage: 0.1 radius (basically single target)
Half damage: 0.4 radius (less than thor)
Quarter damage: 0.8

However the numbers here don't mean much.

Think of damage radii as being circles, and of units as also being circles. A unit is "hit" if the circles overlap, even a tiny bit.

Mutalisks have a radius of 0.5, which means that a Thor's AA will hit any mutalisk that is less than 1 from the impact site. This gives the Thor splash around the same size as a supply depot.

>Frick I just noticed... 7 range war hounds means no more Thor/Hellion vs BLs

Thors did like 20 damage per 2 second volley against broodlords if both are unupgraded, definitely not the best use of 300/200/6.

You could probably kill 2 thors and badly hurt a third thor with 1 BL,

It's basically a smaller, faster, cheaper, weaker thor. Because it's smaller and cheaper, you can have more of them more easily, and thus they can't be magic boxxed.

Their splash radius is about the same as the thors, so they'll hit clumped mutas hard, but magic box isn't as effective due to just plain having a lot more attacks.
