Scarabs not dieing and are overpowering.

There is no balancing issues....

Scarabs are easy to counter

Examples: Humvee, buggy, riflemen, shock troopers ,flame troopers banshees and my favorite one snipers.

Just lock them down if you running into them then you deserve to die.

Tried it all but the snipers because I don't have those. But when I posted this even my flame troops and shock troops where one shotted by them... got so pissed off about the * and stopped playing, but if you're saying they fixed that issue I might right coming back.

Scrabs are still an issue. Their description says they can attack any ground unit, but they can also attack air units. Either the description needs to be updated, or the ability of the scrabs.

Agreed, I just tried countering with shockwave, rockets, Rhino, and pitbulls and all got 1 shotted. Plus looking at the DPS of the scarab it’s listed as 800, and health 250. Even if they’ve been upgraded a bunch they should not be able to wipe out units with almost 3,000 health

There are a couple of ways to counter Scarabs: One is killing them whilst they are moving (since they can't attack on the move) and two is to spam cheap units to let them die to them (since Scarabs sacrifice themselves when attacking).

In regards to health and DPS, level 9 Scarabs have 1.506,4 DPS per unit, meaning they are able to kill 3k health units with their double attack. Apart from that, they leave fire behind, which will slowly do damage as well and possibly kill any unit standing in it with little health left after the original attack.

Scarabs have destroyed this game for me. Why bother to create a level capped combat platform only to allow high level players to simply spam the battlefield with unassailable units. Yes I could spam the field with low level units but why should I be forced to gamble the opposition has scarabs, determine tactics accordingly before the game begins and lose if I guess wrong? How do I ‘pen them in’ if they’re on a platform? I just let them sit there until missile launches or fling units at them of any kind and they not only destroy x 2 but leave fire on the ground also? It’s a joke. My view is this is deliberate by EA because to reach scarab level (44?) these players buy their way up so they win (easy) and the level by ability players all lose. 

Hi @HappyLarrys,

Sorry to hear that scarabs are giving you such a hard time. While the low cost units (e.g. Riflemen or Militants) are the cheapest way to get rid of scarabs, they're not the only way. What units do you normally use?

Scarabs were moved to a higher player level because they are a unique unit and we wanted players to experience them after playing for a bit. 

With some effective scouting, a scarab can easily be removed. Also obelisks are an expensive way to clear scarabs... lost a match before trying to remove scarabs that have set up. Wish they can't target aircraft. Also deploying a strong-arm turret next to one guarantees its removal.
