Banshee

[Jon888]

Banshee
HP: 56
Armor:18
Blocking: 50% front 25% sides
Power: 20
Wait time: 3 turns
Movement: 3+Teleport
Attack range: 3 tiles in straight line. Dashes 3 tiles spreading his arms to side, during the dash he hits everything on each side of him doing 15 damage. He does 20 damage to the unit at the end of his dash or to a unit in front of him during the dash in which case he stops his attack.
Advantages: Floats like wisk, not affected by mud quake.
Disadvantages: counts as 2 units and attacks are blockable.
Addional info: During his dash he holds his claw-like hands to tear all units in his path. Blocking is also different since he is ghost like he does not really block but dodges by slightly fading out.
Description: this ghost like creature is rivaled only by the dragon tyrant though they seem to be opposites.

Its simply overpowered...;)

So if I read it right, he hits guys on both sides of him for 3 squares, then the guy in a line he targeted? for a total of 7 hits max?
(15x6)+20=110 power on max hit. A dsm (with no additional pyros) hitting 5 units shells out 135 power of damage, and 108 on 4 units. So we have something already that does shell out too much damage on too many units.

Though the Banshee hits are blockable,
And he counts as two units.
It's not overpowered in that sence....

Keeping him compared to the dsm: +26 hp, +17 blocking, +18 armour, + teleport.

Now I think it's a bit out of hand, as he'll stay around much much longer.

On an unimportant side note: Don't banshees normally scream really piercingly?

I just made this unit (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27794). Look at the bedouin raider.

first the teleport is pverpowered when he can move another 3 tiles when attacking.
the potential power is ok since its nearly impossible to get set up for that. 2-3 units is what he will hit at a time tops.
other than that, since its a 2-weight unit, i think its quite good(maybe im biased?). not bad.

Shatterstar I actually made this unit over 6 months ago on the digisonline.com forums. This is purely my idea, in fact I do believe it is the first unit I made.

im not taking anything away from you, just pointing out a coincidence.

On an unimportant side note: Don't banshees normally scream really piercingly?
Banshees are traditionally undead females who had died in emotional anguish of some sort. They rise as spirits to inflict the same sort of sorrowful pain on the living with their piercing screams and curses. I don't think any are male--I always thought they had undead estrogen "problems".

Description doesn't count much next to game statistics, but I think a more relevant name would serve well. It's already overpowered anyways and not very interesting.

I knew i recoginized this unit. You did make it 6 months ago, i like it but with so much power maybe dumb the blocking down, but then again the attacks are blockable....Hmmmm good as it is:D
