Name: Ethereal Cannon

HP: 100

Armor: 0

Power: -

Range:
o = Damaged space.
x = Empty space.
E = Ethereal Cannon

Block: 100%

Movement: 0

Wait: -

Attack Description:
The 100 HP seems high, but every time an unblockable attack damages it, a status appears (+Spiritblast: x, with x being total damage taken from unblockable attacks combined.)

The Ethereal Cannon can release all of it's stored energy in one attack, but the number is first halved. All hit units suffer the damage.

To fire, a PHYSICAL attack must be used from BEHIND. Any physical attack will do. The attack will be blocked, of course, but instead of the barrier appearing for a second, the light blue DMW-like attack is released on the seven squares. The direction of the attack is the opposite of where the physical attack hits. (Hit from left = Blast to the right, Hit from above = Blast below).

No matter how much HP remains, the Ethereal Cannon is destroyed after an attack.

Example:
DMW hits EC. Spiritblast: 12
Pyro hits EC. Spiritblast: 20
Mudquake hits EC. Spiritblast: 25
DT hits EC. Spiritblast: 39

Scout shoots EC from behind, firing it above.


Rules: Double Gold unit, cannot be on same field as Lightning Ward. Is a contraption.

Pros:
+Long Range
+Long Lifespan, better "Blocker" than Lightning Ward.

Cons:
-Opponent can fire it.
-Requires unit to block front of it, so it wont work against it's owner.
-Can't be rushed with.

Okay fine, I was being harsh
It is just too easy to manipulate
Cleric owner, and along with that, it will devastate a turt if its same-side

Plus, its a bit complicated, dontcha agree?

edit: Lost soul, the 100 hp is there to help it survive long enuf to use it to attack - if it is used once, it is destroyed

Harsh is the way of SPARTAAA! HOOOO!

neat concept.. but not realy viable....

Considering that an opponents scout could ruin your plans.. or a BR...or a mudd.
It has a high propenity to backfire because your enemy KNOWS that you are trying to boost its power........ and could turn your weapon against you.

No (allied) unit as we speak ( save a few errantly placed shrubs ) can realy be used against you.


Interesting none the less kinda makes it a target for a while, but all to predictable.

easiest way to prevent the thing kickin ur butt wold be - dont attack it. your opponent is 1 unit less and if he has to resort to attacking it himself you can exploit that. as someone above said, the fact ur enemy could fire it would totally be hell. Scouts etc, no thanks. Ill stick with the good ol LW.

Good try tho
