The new Arbiter, The Star Relic

Come on man recall sucks and u know it. The warp ablity with the Psi energy is much better and the Phase flyers can produce that energy so it's not like recall is even gone. and the Phase flyers can do it for free. so stop crying about recall. It sucked in SC1 it was almost never uesd. and no one eles will care about it.

 

it actually was used a lot. its a lot easier to sneak 1 arbiter into an enemy base and recall your army in then sneak a ton of shuttles in. a lot less potential loss. and that would ruin any opponents day.

 

I used it alot. just not for recall. it dosent matter anymore. the Arbiter is gone and the star Relic is here now. We will just have to make it work wether you like it or not.

 

well, for one thing, i like the design of it. It's like a slave1.

 

Methinks detonate is just the star relic's attack. (rather then the pretty pathetic one the arbiter had). Problem being that the other player has to be stupid enough not to move his units at all while you are beaming his unit (preping it for KABOOM).

Thus I think a good strategy with something like this is attacking from the front, then disintigrating a building near workers in the rear. (like take a pylon or supply depot) This will effectively halt the economy and mass winings would ensue. (hopefully)

 

I love the design for the Star Relic. It's got this exotic feel to it. As far as the detonator ability goes, it sounds a lot like the Kodo Beast spell to eat/digest an opponent. I think it has potential to be pretty cool. What comes to mind is what happens during a Protoss versus Protoss game and the Star Relic "locks on" to an enemy Mothership. That'll be a sight to see if it succeeds.
