Archons movement

Now if we had destructive enviroments I'd break through and yell, "I'M THE JUGGANAUT B****!"

 

I personally think the walking gives it the more "powerful" feeling then floating. Wierd? probably but I just like the idea.

 

walking, they look more bully and powerful.ive seen them walking with their feet i forgot where. anyway it looks totally cool when they are walking. hovering makes them look slender and relax.

 

i like the walking, but i would prefer it if they took fewer, longer steps

edit: is it just me or did archons lose their splash damage?

 

It looks to me like they might have lost splash...but gained in overall power as well...

I just kinda wonder if they have actual health now.

 

No if you watch the game footage the marines in the back die far faster than the marines in the front. Which means that there must be splah

 

they all died in 1 hit...

 

The first marine died from both archons attacking it, the rest died in one hit. EXCEPT the marine on the far left of last row, bottom most of the screen. That one took two hits from the same archon to kill it. You don't see the archon move its arm out a second time but you do see a second arc of lightning that shoots out to kill that particular marine.

If you take into consideration the positioning of all the marines and the order they were killed, it appears that there is splash damage.

But anyway, I think I've already posted elsewhere that you can see the archon dropping two marines in the same attack in the leaked video. So far, twilight archon appears to have splash damage.

 

Good Point Remy...now that I look at it like that there definately is a splash.

 

Hmm, makes me wonder if TA's can kill Cerebrates now that they're pumped up with DT power?

 

probably, the zerg should be more worried about the DT incorporating the special energies into their vehicles

 

I think the stomping is pretty cool. That'd be awesome if they gave him a little shockwave or made the ground crack everytime he walked. Sort of like with illidan when he moved.

 

I would love if they were half hovering half walking

 

The archon should float it shouldnt rely on its physical body as it is whithered and weak hence they only have 10 hp theyre not big lumbering beasts theyre psionic entities

 

Just saying...we dont know if these archons have HP or not, and these guys look alot stronger physically then they were before.

Twilight archon /= light or dark archon (one looked light and zappy, one looked armored and heavy), so the usual rules dont apply.

 

I just noticed something. Dark Archons seemed to have armour through their energy. Blizzard's taken these shoulderpads and armoured look into the Twilight Archon which has the colour of the High Templarchons (see what I did there?).
But the Twilights can be made with Dark Templar, High Templar, or one of each. Thus the Twilight Archons have the essence of both original Archons.
...And that had nothing to contribute to this topic. Oh well.

I hope Blizzard gives them a slight shield boost and increases their health to atleast 50.

 

If vessel will be back, which it will, EMP will be back. Actually, EMP will be back regardless. But either way, if EMP is back TA will have HP.

I believe TA will have more HP than before,. Whether we're talking about archon's 10 HP or DA's 25, I personally think that TA will have more than that.

 

Well it certianly has the light archons power...all that remains is to wonder what it got off the dark archon side.

 

more than 10 hp. and a cooler look.

 

Possibly one spell?
