@RelVleDy No, sadly. Hence why ultras are very seldom used competitively.They will also not attack units in front of them if they have a zerging in between them and their target, despite having enough range (they have 2 range, not melee range) to attack over them.
Why I only send Ultralisks in two-pronged attacks unless Portoss has a lot of sentries. It would be cool if Ultralisks could attack while moving, they'd be like marine lawnmowers.
@armaniac661 But from 1:00 to 1:11, the Ultralisk was basically keeping up with a stimmed marine, something it can't do even on creep. I think that was the problem. :-/
There is no bug, it sjust the way that it works on friendly units. Try it on hostile units, and it wont work. Its the same with colossus. For friendly units it does damage at the end of the animation, while for hostiles it deals damage at the start. You can see this best with a colossus. Thimb this up so people dont waste time.
I fail to see the bug with an ultra that's clearly hitting the target.. And any dope would notice you moving the marine closer to the ultra everytime it got away
Oh no. Ultralisks are sooo OP! Unless a Terran player would be sensible enough to form a bioball... or get stims... or not try and kite a tier 3 infantry-killer with a tier 1 unit without firing support.
@Gnomeslayer778 siegetanks with something between them and the marines man. Like, 4 marauders, or a bunker, or a cliff, or say a thor, or maybe some brush with a xelnaga.
@MrSoychi Marines will still ROFLCAKE that... How you ask? o.O' Well quite simply put, if you dont have atleast 3 medivacs with your marines and your marines dont have stim and combat shield then your a crappy player. What you do is, you stim you marines, run right up to the tanks so they cant hit u, u aim anything that can still hit ur marines, then focus fire the tank when it starts to unsiege.. I know your probs gonna say "But what if theres multiple?" Then split your marines up! :D
It's fairly obvious that this isn't a bug. Look at the graphic for the Ultralisk attack. I'd call it a bug if it was able to hit things outside of the claw range of motion.
@helldrake77777 Ultras run out of range before they can complete the attack animation, thus doing no dmg. Though usually most SC units automatically complete their attack even if they get out of range, so I guess this is a bug (probably contrary to what I said a lot earlier). It's like getting a yamato to charge and even if the target goes out of range the yamato will still hit since it was already qued.
It's a bug? The unit moves out of the Ultra's swing before the swing finishes, so the swing doesn't do any damage (because the swing doesn't finish). Sounds realistic to me.
If the game was realistic the ultra wouldn't stop to swing, it could just crush the marine with its foot. And the ultras are a lot bigger than that in lore.
In Warcraft 3 units had a thing called a "backswing" which was the amount of time it takes for it to begin an attack and then to actually land the attack. Every unit has a backswing but fat units like the ultra prob have a high backswing time
Ultras are so useless what other tier 3 unit cant attack air in any other race? so gay and they either get focused down so fast or they are two clumsy to be effective
this isn't a bug. you have to think the attack is applied during a certain point in the attack animation, since he can't complete it he can't do damage and continues chasing. the attack isn't instant damage. ultras can't fight moving targets too well. because of there long attack animation.
It happens because the attack is an AOE at the point of which the ultralisk attacks, and because the unit escapes the AOE range, it isn't affected. Regardless of it being the target of the attack, the swing timer is enough time for the unit to escape the aoe. I believe this has been fixed, though my brief time in the beta did not use many ultras.
yes you are right they aren't armored and yes you are right in that both are completely useless, I have used them both in-game and I can say that for the price it costs to make them, there is no reason as to why you would build them over other units.
@Pinworm4 Archons are only superior against zerglings and... that's about it, so if your opponent is going mass zerglings be sure to build archons! Ultras at least act as good meat shields and are a huge distraction!
@AncestralViews Good meat shields? Is that a joke? Is this that trolling thing I hear so much about? Archons have a bit less shield, but they aren't listed as armored and as such damage to them is generally way lower, than against ultralisks. And let's not even compare the costs of each. Also, I'm only 90% sure archons aren't armored. If I'm wrong on that, but I don't think I am, let's just agree both are entirely useless.
ive had a yamato cannon shoot a void ray, the void ray goes into the darkness as soon as the yamato shot, and the missile just missed and overshot till it left the screen
It's not really a bug, just bad design; the attack animation is too long and allows an enemy unit to move out of range while the attack is being preformed. I do hope it is changed as well.
What's happening is that the ultalisks attack does damage after the animation, the ultralisk stops for a split second to do the animation, and by that time the other unit is to far away for it to get hit.
Ultras are not designed to chase down infantry.... That and the animation clearly shows him missing. What's the bug? That because it's a tier 3 unit it should be able to magically kill anything with telekinesis?
@shadysuspect82 : "The animation showing him missing" is part of the problem, not an indication that there isn't a problem.
The ultra on creep is faster than the marauder it's chasing, but unable to damage it.
Are you the kind of person who instinctively aligns with the status quo however absurd it is, so as not to be appear to be 'whining'? People like that suck.
@MiZiGe And marines aren't 100% accurate with bullets, melee units could knock the gun out of the hands of units, melee could jump on top of tanks and not be shot at....but at a certain point we just say they hit and do damage instead of trying for realism.
@TheBeeFart Not really, if it runs out of range before the attack is finished then no damage should be taken and if you recall the ultralisk is already very powerful and those units have no time to return fire in other words ultra will eventually win even if they are a tad bit faster
@JonathanTopping Producing roaches for tanking and banelings for splashis a much better use for your resources. Plus you can use the extra gas to build mutas and/or infestors. Ultras get kited to oblivion because of how slow they are; their splash damage sucks thanks to the recent nerf; "borrow" micro is very situational and only works once, if at all, on intelligent players. Hell, Zerg T3 in general is terrible because of how slow and easily counterable the units are.
@Dyz7 Ultras are useful against sentry/stalker/colossi though. They may be far off in tech but their pretty good. They stomp forcefields and rip through stalkers. Probably can't handle them totally alone since they might be able to kite a bit, but with a bit of roach/zergling support they are formidable. (I dunno what I can use them for against terran since lings are good against marauders, tanks, thors, and vikings if they land)
@IneedaYTaccount You usually don't see ultras against Toss because by the time they come out the Toss has 2-3 robo facilities up and can pump out immortals.
@Dyz7 Hmm you're right there. Thinking through this when he pumps out immorts it seems like you're gonna end up transitioning to roach/hydra/corrupter since he would prolly get zealots with immorts and banes won't do much if there's a colossi mixed in the back.
@JonathanTopping The high armor is only good for units that do fast, low damage, like marines. Marauders and immortals, on the other hand, shred the ultralisk. In fact, a 3 attack marauder cancels out an ultralisk's armor. Roaches are much better for tanking because they are cheaper, very resistant to splash, and cannot be focused as easily. Plus they can heal really fast after every battle.
@Dyz7 To be honesty it really depends on play style, For me I keep other people on tier 1 units so the ultralisk always proves useful to me most the time I accompany them with the corrupors which also are useful due to the corruption spell on heavy units also they fight off any air that the enemy has trained. Roaches can be lifted up by the phoenix's gravitation lift ability making them worthless against protross also I find that ulralisk are good at braking the front gate of the terrain.
This is the same as the colossus not doing damage when it doesn't finish it's attack even if it looks like the lasers hit the targets. This bug only occurs on friendly targets for colossi, though I am not sure if it is the same for the ultralisks.
Basically, what happens here is the marine/marauder is able to run away faster than the ultra can finish its attack animation.
i dont know if some one else did this observation, but ultras is something what zerg have to rely on in late games.
u have to beat ur opponent economicaly or in timing.
elseway there will be 200supplyforces and zerg will loose, because all his units are lowhp and/or slow and there are no kickass units wich can provide low/midgame units with support, or make a difference with support of this units, like thor and colosses do.
This is how I wish to die.

@JonathanTopping Producing roaches for tanking and banelings for splashis a much better use for your resources. Plus you can use the extra gas to build mutas and/or infestors. Ultras get kited to oblivion because of how slow they are; their splash damage sucks thanks to the recent nerf; "borrow" micro is very situational and only works once, if at all, on intelligent players. Hell, Zerg T3 in general is terrible because of how slow and easily counterable the units are.

@Dyz7 Ultras are useful against sentry/stalker/colossi though. They may be far off in tech but their pretty good. They stomp forcefields and rip through stalkers. Probably can't handle them totally alone since they might be able to kite a bit, but with a bit of roach/zergling support they are formidable. (I dunno what I can use them for against terran since lings are good against marauders, tanks, thors, and vikings if they land)

@IneedaYTaccount You usually don't see ultras against Toss because by the time they come out the Toss has 2-3 robo facilities up and can pump out immortals.

@Dyz7 Hmm you're right there. Thinking through this when he pumps out immorts it seems like you're gonna end up transitioning to roach/hydra/corrupter since he would prolly get zealots with immorts and banes won't do much if there's a colossi mixed in the back.

@Dyz7 But the high armor value is helpful when in combat most players focus them down and that gives your more damaging units time to attack.

@JonathanTopping The high armor is only good for units that do fast, low damage, like marines. Marauders and immortals, on the other hand, shred the ultralisk. In fact, a 3 attack marauder cancels out an ultralisk's armor. Roaches are much better for tanking because they are cheaper, very resistant to splash, and cannot be focused as easily. Plus they can heal really fast after every battle.

@Dyz7 To be honesty it really depends on play style, For me I keep other people on tier 1 units so the ultralisk always proves useful to me most the time I accompany them with the corrupors which also are useful due to the corruption spell on heavy units also they fight off any air that the enemy has trained. Roaches can be lifted up by the phoenix's gravitation lift ability making them worthless against protross also I find that ulralisk are good at braking the front gate of the terrain.

This is the same as the colossus not doing damage when it doesn't finish it's attack even if it looks like the lasers hit the targets. This bug only occurs on friendly targets for colossi, though I am not sure if it is the same for the ultralisks.
Basically, what happens here is the marine/marauder is able to run away faster than the ultra can finish its attack animation.

i dont know if some one else did this observation, but ultras is something what zerg have to rely on in late games.
u have to beat ur opponent economicaly or in timing.
elseway there will be 200supplyforces and zerg will loose, because all his units are lowhp and/or slow and there are no kickass units wich can provide low/midgame units with support, or make a difference with support of this units, like thor and colosses do.
