    Couple things: 1) DVa is pronounced like diva in case you were interested, and 2) cyclones do benefit from upgrades, but their lock on ability that usually does 99% of their damage doesn't benefit (they have an auto attack in addition to lock on that does decent damage)

    • @alltat
      @alltat Před rokem +5

      The Albatross D.Va was a German WW1 fighter plane, notably flown by the Red Baron. The V is a Roman numeral here, so the name is "D-five-A". I don't know if the character is actually named after the airplane, but it seems somewhat unlikely that they'd just happen to capitalize it that way if she wasn't, so feel free to insist on pronouncing the character's name as D-five-A.

      @@ryancorrell5291 OK, you did get me there. Although I think it's often better to not recall the probe and instead use the Chrono on making more Probes to ensure that the scouting Probe can achieve as much scouting as you deem necessary. But of course in SCII it's almost never the case that it's always right to do X versus doing Y in all scenarios.

    Hey Kevin,
    As a Belgian, I am dissappointed you as a Dutchman can say "nobody loves potatoes". You must clearly be forgetting about french fries, which we both know should be called Belgian fries. They are the most superior dish that one can eat here in our region. If you disagree, remember, without them the vleeskroket and bitterbal would have never been invented.

  • @DelawareBrooks
    @DelawareBrooks Před rokem +3

    37:20 on topic of damage reduction that Harstem starts did you know EVERY PROTOSS unit can reduce the damage of an attack more than an ultralisk?
    If you have a Protoss unit with +3 shields and +3 armour. The attack that breaks the shields of a Protoss unit will have it's damaged reduced by both the armour and Shield values for most Protoss units that will be 7 damage reduction on that attack. With guardian shield that makes a 9 DAMAGE REDUCTION for that attack and if they have no base armour still 8 damage reduction.
    Now knowing that a few other fun facts. Anti-armour missile increases damage by 6 instead of 3 while breaking shields because both shields and armour values get changed instead of just taking a flat increase in damage while Guardian shield does not reduce damage by 4 but only 2 on the attack because guardian shield is passive -2 damage from projectiles while not affecting armour values at all.
    As long as there is at least 1 armour and 1 shield point this interaction will happen.
    While in game the chances of this dictating results is low, rare circumstances it might result in a unit surviving one additional shot during an engagement it is most noticeable with interactions with shield batteries/shield battery overcharge since this will take affect as long as shields are not depleted meaning a single protoss unit with a shield battery can be harder to kill than an Ultralisk.
