The difference is that the Warhound is smaller and much more nimble, though it gives up some range on its anti-air missiles in exchange for this mobility. The resourceful terrans have also been improving their technology to better survive their battles in the Koprulu sector.ĭescription: The Warhound is a small, walking ground mech that wields an effective anti-air weapon with splash damage, much like the Thor from Wings of Liberty. In the current design of Heart of the Swarm, the protoss are not able to deploy Motherships and Carriers, though these and other units that don't exist in Heart of the Swarm multiplayer will still be available in Wings of Liberty multiplayer and the solo campaign.

The recalled units are stunned for a few seconds when recalled.Īs we add units to the multiplayer game, sometimes it's necessary to remove units or alter others' abilities to maintain game balance and eliminate redundancy. Another ability, Mass Recall, has also been added to the nexus, which allows protoss players to teleport armies from out in the field back to the nexus. This ability will help the protoss buy time to defend in the case of an unexpected drop from an enemy. The weapon does the same amount of damage as a regular photon cannon but only damages light units. They're expensive, so cloning a Zergling would not be very cost effective, but transforming into a specialized unit like a Raven, Infestor, or Siege Tank could open up interesting strategic options for the protoss.Ī new ability called Arc Shield has also been added to the nexus - this ability will temporarily add additional shield and building armor, as well as a weapon very similar to a photon cannon.

Description: Replicants have one ability: to transform itself into any non-massive unit.
