2 If you attack a lobster near lava with 4 ducks, those ducks will die before they can even kill the lobster. It's not just assaults. 2 If you attack a lobster near lava with 4 ducks, those ducks will die before they can even kill the lobster. It's not just assaults.

4 [quote]For your units to get thrown, the lobster needs to be able to land safely within range and survive the action activation. Most of the time that means a single or few costly, unsupported assaults.[/quote] 4 [quote]For your units to get thrown, the lobster needs to be able to land safely within range and survive the action activation.

5 It doesn't need to land safely, it just needs to survive its jump phase with at least 1HP and then activation can be almost instantaneous. Rackateers is good idea but won't it need to fire very early? 2( ?) moderators or a felon could work, but relatively few units have hitscan with high enough DPS or alpha damage to solo kill it mid-air before it fires. And even if you have those units are going to need to placed correctly and not firing at other stuff. 5 It doesn't need to land safely, it just needs to survive its jump phase with at least 1HP and then activation can be almost instantaneous. Rackateers is good idea but won't it be useless if its fired recently? 2( ?) moderators or a felon could work, but relatively few units have hitscan with high enough DPS or alpha damage to solo kill it mid-air before it fires.

7 None of that is easy if its cloaked, or if the lobster player uses their brain to wait for their moment! 7 None of that is easy if its cloaked, or if the lobster player uses their brain to wait for their moment!

11 Sure, ultimatum comes to mind. But that's like 2k. Skuttle maybe, but less AOE, more fragile, and has no other uses. Not much else will kill groups of heavy units so quickly, and certainly not for a loss under 400 metal, while also being useful in several other ways. 11 Sure, ultimatum comes to mind.

14 It's not uncounterable. It's expensive to counter and even then the counter is patchy. On lava maps this renders many other units unviable. 14 It's not uncounterable. It's expensive to counter and even then the counter is patchy. On lava maps this renders many other units unviable.

17 You mean many faradays, unless you plan on keeping your throwable units parked next to that 1 faraday all game. 17 You mean many faradays, unless you plan on keeping your throwable units parked next to that 1 faraday all game.
