friendly fire from shockers will impart a small haste buff to alien units.

something about shockers zapping the bigger slower units along during an assault just seems cool. 😄

Sounds dumb

i think its a fun way to encourige people to work together pushing goliaths and colloses forward during a rush.
similar synergies between more units would be fun i think

[shut raven]

I disagree

can you explain? or do you just like being contrarian 😛

The second part

Don’t mind this idea

[obsidian kite]

sounds like a fun idea

hopefully this idea gets implemented or maybe something like it gets implemented, I like the sound of units pushing with bigger units as one group with teamwork

it adds more strategy ideas to the game making it even more fun for the commander

LOL this idea is indeed quite funny 😁 Though to be fair it would look a little strange seeing Shockers zap their friends to invigorate them. Moving as a group should be part of the AI changes coming soon btw.

Zap the Zappers!

[obsidian kite]

I'm excited for that ai change

About the shockers though, they are very weak i had a fight 5 AI shockers vs 4 AI riflemen , all shockers died. 🤷‍♂️ power of accuracy i guess.

infantry is there hardcounter they are ment to have crabsuport and focus on vehicles

I'm not sure if this was intended by Dram, that the shockers are bad against infantry. It is the first iteration, I bet we'll see some tweaks to the Shocker, but, as always, it needs to look and feel good.

infantry is pretty much fodder vs everything why cant they be effective vs one thing?

every single alien unit is able to one shot infantry
