Mind Control in SC2?

Pretty sure you can cause it counts as an air unit so they when corruptors attack it, when it dies it should become corrupted :3

 

*sigh* It's called sarcasm.

I'm fairly certain you can corrupt a them, cause they can be attacked by air units, then the corrupter would be able to attack it. It's not that ground units are immune to corruption, their immune to the air only attacks, except the Collosus of course

 

Unless spells like anti grav are in play.

 

If you have corrupters, I assume you dont have the ability to use the spell anti-grav. So unless your playing with teams, the only anti-grav'd units would be yours.

 

Not always true. You can happen upon a mid battle, and attack a unit that is anti-graved. Or, you can happen upon battle aftermath, and attack a unit that happens to still be in the air after the battle, I'm not sure how long anti-gravity works for though.

 

But, unless there is some special reason to protoss to anti-grav his own units, I doubt you'll ever see corrupters being able to use anti-grav to thier advantage.

 

Just wouldn't in 1on1 melee.

 

^^

Anyways, I always found MC to be underused in SC1. It could really change the tables if used correctly.

 

theres a point right there, you could mind control a phoenix use anti grav on something and corrupt it.

 

I see the anti-grav/corrupter combo of a protoss and zerg team to be extremely useful.

With most units having some kind of ability/upgrade, team battles will be fun to see how different races can combine skills to be more effective than by themselves.

 

i agree, makes for one of the more interesting combos, in my opinion.

 

If for some reason you don't have air units,k you could levitate one of your own ground units to look over a cliff.

 

except for the fact that the unit that has Anti-gravity right now is the Phoenix that is an air unit.

 

Oh, right.

Give it back to the Nullifier

 

It might still be useful to lift a unit of your own, say to get an HT or nullifier closer to the enemy, so they can use an ability, cause they can't cast them up cliffs very high. Say, there are a bunch of hydra's, and you want to soften them up before you fly in there. Just life a nullifier, cast MD a few times, then life an HT, and kill as many as you can with storm, then attack.

 

Nu uh. It's better on the phoenix cause you will want them to be more useful. Phoenix is anti air so just anti grav + I'm pretty sure units don't attack when their anti graved.

 

I didn't say attack, they might still be able to use their energies. I could be wrong though. Lets ask Lurk, he's the encyclopedia for the game.

 

im not really sure, all i know is that the unit would lose the ability to attack, so i guess its entirely possible for them to use abilities while being Anti-gravityed, then again blizzard seem to want this ability to disable units so it might not allow units to use abilities, we'll have to have Jon or someone to test it out when they get the chance, which i guess would be probably be Beta.

personally i think the unit wouldnt be able to use their abilities.

 

I was directing that to Kimera but you seem to have posted seconds before I did >.>

 

Maybe, maybe not. It would be an effect strategy if they could use it while being floated around.

You could also use it to get a unit out of fire. Say, you're fighting a terran, and you ran an HT in there to storm, while the ST were fighting other things of course. However, now the ST wants to hit your HT, so you float it, to get it out of the way as you kill it.

Sorry Vamp.
