Can Parasite Of Mortrex be any good?
Hive mind! I seek opinions!
Ok so ive had this nagging idea in my head that there has to be a way to make POM at least a little usable, even if its not competitive. The idea is pretty straightforward, keep harvesters next to other units so the opponent has to either waste time removing the harvester or risk getting their damage revoked by regeneration. all while the POM's score secondaries and harass infantry and hopefully spawn more harvesters in the process. Below is the list ive come up with, can you all see anything that would fit the theme and make it better while still utilizing the mechanics in place? or is it just a doomed idea? Thanks in advance!
