Co-Op Mutation #181: Robotic Revival

I support the right to freedom of expression.

Fear - Player units will occasionally stop attacking and run around in fear upon taking damage.
Just Die! - Enemy units are automatically revived upon death.
Laser Drill - An enemy Laser Drill constantly attacks player units within enemy vision.

Mutations with Laser drill are tortures.
Reviving is a proble to Dehaka’s stomach.
Fear is pretty scary.

Stop, why not Secret Storm?

Not 2 worried drill, it’s the fear and revive that’s annoying. Overall not 2 hard with zeratul cannons and vora

Well at least this one should be slightly more exiting than the past few weeks worth of boretations have been.

pretty easy for commander with free units.
Strettman will probably plow through the map with ease.

Zagara’s dead suicide units do not fear anything.

Seems like Karax’ towers would work here, but you’d need an ally who could push for the both of you to properly set up shop.

Can’t fear if you’re already dead :slight_smile:

Just Die! Mutator does not handle bonus train correctly as in Oblivion Express. As a result, the bonus train would have really low life after revived, which makes the bonus objective easier than expected.

It does, considering that it does affect the trains on OE and the shuttles on VL.

Fear and Laser drill counter Hero units?

Heroic units are feared for half the time as normal units, and the drill will not target invisible heroes without detection (Nova and Zeratul). Dehaka will be less susceptible to fear because of his higher overall HP than other heroes once he’s fed.

Plus you can always use other things to bait the drill into attacking something that is not the hero unit.

it was horrible thank you so much blizzard.

Very easy. Did Zeratul/Kerrigan vs Terran siege tank

Kerrigan ally left early since his Kerrigan died at the start and never respawned (someone wanna debug it? fear?). Was able to solo with just attack move Zeratul dark templars, didn’t even bother camping the laser.

Just Die doesn’t effect the boss or the optional objective train on Part and Parcel in terms of max health. Since every roll of fear is based on a unit taking damage, this difficulty of this mutation is going to be influenced heavily by the enemy unit composition.

Zeratul is the obvious commander of the week with mass cannons. But Artanis mass dragoons with upgraded range and shields worked pretty well for me too.

Hey, can you post a replay?
