The behavior of units on mobile beacon is that they continue moving while there is nothing on the path of the mobile beacon. If anything enters the path of the mobile beacon, they stop to shoot.
To be clear, if there is a unit or tower in the path of a mobile beacon, the unit will stop to attack whatever is within range of the unit, otherwise it will continue moving even while attacking. This has far more implications for ranged units than melee. It does not mean much to a Rino but it does mean a lot to a Pheonix.
Hey Grubby thanks for the MB content. I find your experience in experimenting with mechanics, positioning, and even opponent reading really enjoyable. Think you might ever do a series or playlist of deep dives into specific testing, strategy crafting?
Photon is only for one unit, and +40% shield is worth it only in endgame, when you have a lot of money to spend and only if you use shield in your game of course.
Rarely. The photon is a great item on certain units (like worms who can't get photon another way) and personally i would never skip it. The +shield can be ok early game, but bubble shields will get 1-shot most times in the lategame anyway, so skipping it is fine, too.
Probably an easy win with scorpion range and any actual chaff clear, he was way too invested in sledges and had nowhere near enough chaff to transition before gg. Should have been game over the other way around as soon as the marksmen got that many levels and the scorpions were sold, especially with typhoons and knowing the wasps were coming.
Late game Protoss with Carriers are always annoying to deal with.
wrong game buddy
@xrasor9592 that's why it's funny 😂

That's so unpredictable! You forced me to download SC2 again...
@@hades9189 yeah i didnt get that one ^^ (still dont do, would be happy for any explanation)
Well done Grubby! You're doing a bit too much unit variety but it's nice to see you still so hyped to win :)

No, they keep moving while shooting if able.
@horsemumbler1 no, unit movement in the beacon can be blocked if there are units inside the path and in range or are close enough

@montyalb8788 yeah true. There is a small range (~30) where if they are not in the beacon path, units inside will still stop to attack also

Geez that was close
NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT??
Also yeah as a 1300 mmr-er it's getting touuuugh. I feel like I'm improving but struggling at the same time
giant noob here, is it really worth to skip something like +40% shield or photon ability for only 50 cash? why?
