So I saw a post earlier saying that some older units might be better, so I decided to check back and saw that my Ares and Hive might be useful again. I advise everyone look over older Heroes and Uniques as they might be decent now.
#Older Units are now good?

Yeah some older heroes are stronger than current Series 3 heroes

Even legacy units from over a decade ago have gotten damage upgrades and are now relevant again!
Not just heroes and uniques, but some regular units too.
Legacy unit Thunderbolt has 3200 damage!

None of the legacy era units are worth using nor stronger than the Series 3, and Thunderbolt's damage is an average, not per shot, the moment it gets in range, its dead in one shot, just like anyother legacy unit

Sure but 3200 damage per second is sick for a unit that old. and at 75 cost per unit a ton of them could be used to overwhelm. especially if you have a a decoy unit like the upgrade LTitan
placid jay
again, that 3200 is not going to dent anything, and anyone who still takes these numbers at face value in this game is.. Not going to have pleasent moments here

I suggest you go through every single unit in the game like I did earlier today. Compare the health and dps stats of all units from the newest to oldest. Some of the rebalanced units will surprise you. LOrions have a dps of 792 at max level. Sure they have way stronger health but I'm saying there are tactics that might make older units useful.

I suggest that you not look at the DPS, but the DPR and the Damage and Armor type, as these have more of a factor than measily big number.
That titan you keep talking about gets downed by the gen 3 AA infantry units, what would series era units do it?
And those thunderbolts would be lucky if their DPR is high enough to bypass a wall's flat damage reduction.
But hey, be my guest and try, just don't look dissapointed when you see them go down like flies

I know they will die if you just look at them. But I'm thinking tactics. At 12 standard speed what would they do with Proteus boost?
I'll give it a test. Can't hurt to try

I have played around with them a little, they die yes, but are free repair when single, if they make it past the defenses a bit they can help soften up some targets before they die

I have tested this and Corpus Uniques like the Zeus, Prometheus, Hive and Ares seem to be good
Which I could've gotten Abyss Company before the Stat compression

Which I could've gotten Abyss Company before the Stat compression
I know, the Abyss PMC got a massive nerf, and the Prometheus was dealt a moderate, but definitely noticeable nerf.

And although all of the other defensive unique units got buffed to the point where they aren’t 100% useless anymore, the Morningstar wasn’t, and is still a pile of garbage. So if you are going to buff all of the defensive uniques, please remember to buff every single one, and don’t leave any behind.
