-The Badger is generally too weak and inaccurate to effectively counter more robust enemy defenses like [[Stardust]] or [[Stinger]]s (which would be better countered with [[Impaler]]s). However, the Badger is useful in an area denial role (similar to the [[Firewalker]]), where its mines, while not particularly damaging to enemy assault units, can stop enemy raiders, skirmishers, and even cloaked units (like [[Scythe]]s, [[Widow]]s, and [[Ultimatum]]s) dead in their tracks.

-The bulk of the damage of Badger is done via the mines it spawns, not its projectile. The Badger projectile only does 20 damage (with a respectable AoE), and spawns a mine that will explode into 5 bomblets inflicting 34 damage each to a single target, for 190 damage total per shot (and very little AoE). The full 190 damage will also be done if the projectile hits a shield directly.
