@BattaIia actually that's quite interesting, what kind of buff would you recommend for scarabs then? I was thinking maybe more of a rework rather than an outright buff, but then again I'm also not sure how everything will balance out
Fought the same opponent twice yesterday - it was interesting as he used the scarabs like mines - laced them so you couldn't really get by without losing units. Since he was well over level 44 or so - with the way he set up - this has been a favorite tactic. But yeah, you could take a laser unit, run into one space quick and then quick run to the next - Scarab 1 chases you then it also triggers scarab 2 as you move into the next square. I hit his harvesters as he hadn't built them yet and trounced him.
I thought for sure when I fought again he wouldn't do it - but there he was, setting up his scarabs again.
Point of coming back here - other then to say thanks again - is to say Scarabs really do force a sharp learning curve. And like - either you get lucky figuring it out (unlikely), go look for info (maybe), or just have a bad bad time of it/quit.
It really is an overall bad unit - both for new players in the game and in of itself.
