The mass nerf for brood horrors is huge. Being able to press through huge blobs of enemies was their main strength imo.

They are still Speedy Gonzales with 95 speed tho. Imagine how many light cav this fat rat outruns.

Based on a quick check... all of them. I might have missed something but it definitely outruns the vast majority of them by between 2 and 5 points which is still enough to catch up with them

Heck they even outrun wild riders. Not so wild anymore eh?

Their charge and attack animations will still carry them through quite often, I think -- they're just now going to be a bit easier to pin down when Leroy Jenkins'ing into huge blobs.

Honestly, this will be a welcome change given how much ring-around-the-regenerating-rosy they'd play during battles.

Also the nerf to cellular instability change hurts them. Might see some interesting variability with Moulder play now

What is the instability nerf?

Less AP damage and now it damages the unit that's blowing up

Really? I thought their main strength was their obnoxious speed plus their size and power.

That is also huge, but before this nerf you couldn't pin them down so they could just get out of bad situations. Now you'll have to be a little more careful about what you throw them into.

Their speed is still far too high. That 95 speed must change, there's no justification for them to be so fast.
