Roach vs Nuclear Blast

cock roaches can survive the radiation nothing can survive the blast, are you crazy the atoms are splitting and cock roaches are made of atoms to say the least. And there is no radiation effect in the game at least now for now but if there is it would be good idea to the the ROACH full resistant

 

Wouldn't being close enough to the explosion still do damage?

So you're asking for the nuke to do damage?

Blizzard, hire this man.

 

Where you saying that to me?

And yes I don't want a unit to be completely imune to a nuke
That would be stupid and make gameplay unfair to some degree

I'm just what a unit with some resistance to a nuke
I mean is there any unit that can survive a 500att nuke blast?
No (unless I missed something having more HP then that or the nukes
Doing over 500att in SC2)
I don't think this would be asking alot of blizzerd. it would only make the
Zerg even more unique.

Hey maybe it could be an upgrade that the Zerg have. And it makes all units
Imune to ratiation. That would show only more of the evolution that has taken
Place in the 4 years that they were in hiding.

 

But...

There isn't radiation after a Terran nuke.

It just... does... damage...

 

According to the latest news I got, Immortals only lose 10 shield points from Nukes

 

Um hello think!

Imortals have the hardened sheild
(No duh they only take 10 shield damge)

 

Gardian_Defender, in lvhoang quote of you, you asked a question that said

"I mean is there any unit that can survive a 500att nuke blast? No (unless I missed something having more HP then that or the nukes Doing over 500att in SC2)"

therefore implying that you probable did not know that the Immortal harden shield could make it survive a nuke. all that lvhoang was doing was correcting your answer to your own question. please be a bit more friendlier next time.

 

If i remember correctly, the ultralisk can survive a nuke too, unless thier health has been lowered since the video showing a group of ultras surviving a nuke and continueing to attack the terran.

 

Kool

(and sry if u think I was being unnice wasn't trying to be)
***side note***
how much HP does re ultra have now???
***side note***

Mostly the reason I don't know about stuff is because I'm not sure exactly where everyone is getting the information.
Where do u get the info anyway
(probly from a mixed source?)

 

The Ultralisks have, from the latest we heard anything about it, 600 health.

As for where i get my information for my unit database, yes its a mixed source, but most of nowadays seems to be coming either from Blizzard's own Starcraft 2 forum(which is spammed so much to death each day that i wont even join to talk to the people) on a blue replied post, Starcraft 2 Wiki, Starcraft 2 Newpod and finally Starcraft 2 Armory, that is if SC2Armory will even update themself to current stats.

oh and the nukes does 300 damage to everything and +200 bonus damage against buildings right now.

 

thx for clearing that up

 

Make them thrive after the blast wave... for say 30 seconds after, if they move into the area, they heal up by 50%...

 

they heal 15 hit points a second anyway.

 

Well that's only when not upgraded. When upgraded they can regen by 25. Almost double their original regen.

 

To survive a nuclear blast requires the roach to possess 300HP and above. Killing a 20hp/sec regen roach with 100Hp is already a daunting task. It would ruin the game balance completely unless it is moved to a higher tier. Also, burrowing is a handy ability though i don't think it protects the unit from any form of damage.

Edit: Regenling sounds good. Roach is just bleh. Sounds like a kitchen appliance.

 

Lolz Novacute. Well I acually think that the roach should go up a tier and hydras and lurkers come down a tier. Would this solve it?

 

We haven"t even seen the beta let alone played sc2 yet and you are already posting units as overpowered.

 

Were are we saying that units ARE overpowered? All I remember seeing was if the roach was given 300+ HP we would need to move it back. Besides that I want my hydras down a tier. I loved going for low tech and mass hydra/zergling mix in the begining of the late game. Now I guess it will be better because we be making mini tanks run around with a bunch of lings and exploding grenades to through at them too so, I guess that makes up for that.

 

Sooo, since a nuke does about 300 dmg and in SC it can almost 1 hit ko a hatchery,
That means 2 things

1) WHERE THE HELL ARE THE ORIGINAL TERRAN NUKES

2) Battle cruisers, ultralisks and carriers can survive it (unless the 200+ applies to them too)

 

200+ Doesn't apply to them. I've seen a video where Ultralisks survived a nuke. Imo it's stupid. If the nuke is going to remain low powered they could just name it missile or something like that.
