Shield Battery is the most UNDER RATED building in StarCraft 1.

[@lokkolabs]

"sometimes" i play a little angry

[@NicCagetheDickMage]

just a little miffed. occasionally.

Love the explanation of little things like the moving shots, thanks for that 😊

[@davidgatten1033]

I agree. I only played when I was a kid so I don't actually know many of the micro tricks at all. It's really helpful when Arty explains it. Anyways, hope you have a great day dude!

[@Toastiaa]

Agree

[@gregjuva]

Artosis out there daily giving us the kind of chills you can only get from a bidet in the winter with a broken water heater.

[@TheSuperappelflap]

You have heated water in bidets in America?

[@trumpisbackboi]

You have bidet in America ? (Normal guy with regular electric outlet here)

[@thalanoth]

​@TheSuperappelflap mines a 20 dollar insert under the rink, you just hook it to the main line to the toilet. Obviously not heated, localized, but, the water isn't cold even in winter

[@TheSuperappelflap]

@@thalanoth You have a hot water line in your toilet?

[@thalanoth]

@TheSuperappelflap no... it's just room temp, like I said, "obviously not heated".

[@troyfiss9332]

It's a weird thing I noticed that Snow does, he doesn't leave games immediately after winning. He stays for a bit and mops up. I think Artosis mentioned it once, saying something like "yeah ok, I stopped doing that a week after the game came out." I kinda hope Snow is sitting there after a victory like a kid like "yeah! and now my super-cool zealots destroy your command center!" Shit would be hilarious. ....Or maybe it's just hard to leave a game while feet-clapping.

[@Loeschzwerch]

truned my heater in the toilet on, still got chills

maybe it's the other way around, try watching the next cast right after the cold shower and it should be ok

[@dylaninnes8541]

@rjawiygvozd oh no

[@HuffmanSam]

I don't think I would've thought of it, but Crazy Protoss is a great name for this new shield battery centric build. Another banger from Artosis

[@Patton1944]

I really appreciate the player backstory Artosis gives. I only recently started watching these sc1 games so knowing a bit more about the players that would normally take a lot of replays to find out is cool.

[@FlymanMS]

3:58 SNOWball, eh?

[@lonksnek]

I was looking for this comment.

[@dj_koen1265]

shield battery is such a cool building, its a shame that its kinda niche

[@Larsgman]

I’ve noticed that apart from turrets, the pros don’t build a lot of defensive structures. That, and apart from Archons i am not sure there are a lot of units that can take full advantage of the battery

[@ozar_midrashim]

@@Larsgman Carriers and Scouts. Famous Brood War AI micro trick is to send a Scout back to the battery when its shields are about to deplete.

[@SchemingGoldberg]

It's so cool that it's giving me chills.

[@Ceratisa]

​@@Larsgmanhydra bust on toss requires cannons for defense

[@EebstertheGreat]

You used to see more of these back when protoss went corsair/reaver against zerg. It was a great way to fix up corsairs and shuttles that got scourged.

[@Shield_Battery]

snow's early goon micro under appreciated. he probably uses battery more often than any other top protoss I've seen. just really good for cleanly defending those early bunker nexus busts as just extra bulk that terran need to remove before destroying nexus. builds in same time as uninterrupted bunker too.

[@amp8601]

A new Artosis Cast? Chills.

[@stefanc4520]

11:26 26 Dragoon kill 😂

[@ozar_midrashim]

Trivia time! StarCraft originally had a planned "veterancy" system. Units would get stronger or get more abilities as they accumulate kills. Only the "Kills" info is what's left of that system.

[@dungeonsynthzine]

"This can snow-ball pretty quickly" Ha ha ha;)

[@De_Nome]

It's pretty hot in my room so i am watching ArtosisCasts to get the chills.

[@estebanembroglio6371]

really enjoying these videos! Reminds me of the comfy old days watching BW and SC2 replays. Evergreen game

[@davidgatten1033]

Got a question for you friends, from the perspective of someone who watches all the time but doesn't actually play. At around 7:45, when RideSky takes that high ground, are his tanks within range to siege the Robo and Observatory? Maybe siege wasn't finished yet, but even then, hold that position with mines and micro until it does. (He sieges at the natural about 50 seconds later). Because once he got pinched between both high grounds he lost a lot of momentum.

[@dj_koen1265]

it might just barely reach, but i think he might not have the vision to see it was there

[@ruin9027]

"sometimes i play angry" just a little

[@Fanelan053]

Pretty cool to see him. Get excited again great cast

[@osirisra1476]

Great commentary. Ridesky is very good. I'd like to see more of him.

[@aaronimp4966]

Shield battery is, indeed, underrated. That sucker is useful literally no matter your build. You can engage so many more times with the same army without worry about senselessly losing units. Seriously. Every protoss should be building shield batteries every game, they're that good.

[@FernandoBelloDeveloper]

chills = like

[@GaussianEntity]

And so, Artosis closes out the video with an apt quote by guy in the chat. Bravo!

[@deojefflai6826]

Starting from 5:16 Dragoons were able to land hits after hits without being punished by the tanks. Marines were too far ahead.

[@sleepydragonzarinthal3533]

Batteries are like bunkers, so fun when you have a tidy cluster with a cannon or 2

[@phoenixlich]

Zerg is so HYPE!

[@istovall2624]

The insane laugh before he said it. He's the joker.

[@AuelReiuji]

A little angry, yeah, mildly upset even. 😂

I wish shield battery was used more often

the mental side is just multitasking in extreme speeds and just capacity to think and keep in mind a huge number of things, that all happen and go on at the same time

[@luischenko]

I remember scan defeat snow in a Game with artosis, is he that good?

[@TagaBearClaw]

ggs

[@eddiejhong]

6:32 did he really say “huge dps of the marines”? What kind of scale is he working with 😂

[@osirisra1476]

At that stage of the game the marines do have a lot of DPS against buildings or anything they can all directly attack.

[@eddiejhong]

@@osirisra1476sure they deal damage but I don’t know that huge is the adjective I would use to describe their damage considering it takes 27(?) marine shots to kill a zealot and they don’t even have stim or range to help

the most under rated building is your TDS mods

[@soju69jinro]

did he just win because of that one shield battery???

[@yeon723]

T didn't seem to have good building placements, I get that it was a small area but still

[@slavikdoter]

Here we go downloading chills again

[@SparraGryphon]

A bit of feedback, I wish you viewed things a bit more zoomed out at times. Like I understand perhaps wanting to mimic what the players see (and at the start where there's downtime that's fine), but I think zooming out just a notch or two would help keep you from panning the camera constantly and help see the whole scene as it unfolds.

[@PhaxtolgiaLegacy]

I don't play multiplayer, but people don't use shield batteries? WHY ISN'T HE USING IT TO HEAL HIS DRAGOONS???

[@ShadowCoH316]

So are brood war players just allergic to the mirror match or what? I never see mirror matches almost at all

[@ozar_midrashim]

They're not really fun to watch, except maybe PvP ones. Have you ever seen a TvT or ZvZ match? The former is usually a 1 hour slug fest, the latter is over in a Flash.

[@dj_koen1265]

@@ozar_midrashim i like to watch all the mirrors but to play i think tvt is my least favourite

[@hunlepto2239]

I honestly never understood why Shield Battery is so rarely used. It's literally the Starcraft equivalent of Moonwells, allowing you to basically send any unit back into combat right after using it.

[@SchemingGoldberg]

I think the big problem is the cost and the size of it. If it was a 2x2 building it might get used a bit more.

[@Elyvilon]

You have to build Moonwells to build units, their utility might not be worth it otherwise.

[@hunlepto2239]

@@SchemingGoldberg But it's only 100 minerals and of course I didn't mean putting it to where the enemy could destroy it, but like right behind the front lines when a big push is about to commence.

[@ozar_midrashim]

@@SchemingGoldberg They cost only 100 minerals. That pays off even if you save just one Zealot.

[@dj_koen1265]

the problem is that its cumbersome to use because its a big building with little range and shields usually arent as valuable as hp, and shields regen on their own as well, in most situations the shield battery isnt that valuable if they had a bit more range then im sure people would use them more often

[@cl8804]

shitsky

[@MrBearyMcBearface]

All these "pros" gg and leave before the other player even wins. It's annoying to be on the receiving end of.

[@LORFCASTER]

[@dannyldd]

No. Most underrated buildings are Covert ops for ghosts, queen's nest - queens never used except vs Mech Terran which is also rare to see in multiplayer and no other spells and control tower - cloack almost useless except very specific situations vs terran and wraith energy upgrade is useless

[@praill]

Queens nest is still mandatory to get into defilers though

[@worst9365]

Everything you said is wrong lmao

[@SchemingGoldberg]

Underrated is not the same as underplayed. Underrated means that it's good but not used enough. If something isn't used because it's bad... then it's not underrated.

[@ozar_midrashim]

Queens are used regularly vs Mech, especially at the lower level of play where mech vs Zerg is much more common. Cloaked Wraiths are great against Carriers that lack proper support. Protoss usually overextends with them, which Terrans can punish hard. Ghosts are rarely used, but some players prefer to have a couple versus Carriers or Arbiters. There's more to Starcraft Brood War than professional play.

[@alexanderoaks2948]

Terran players play RTS, but Protoss players play RPG.
