If so we could block the MULEs and scans, etc.

What about other buildings?

I'm assuming it will wipe Protoss shields. That means if you have a double ghost you could throw down a nuke with one and EMP with the other right before the nuke hits.

  • One ghost with some energy built up can actually emp and nuke by itself. For an awesome example as well as just some general ownage, see day9tv.blip.tv/file/3980787

Yes, EMP will drain the energy of buildings. It will also do, IIRC, 100 damage to shields, but not necessarily take them out completely.

I have not confirmed, but I have read that it will also reveal cloaked and burrowed units for a period of item as well.

  • @Eric do you know how long it de-cloaks units for? If you fire one at a mothership and de-cloak all the units next to it, how long do you get before they re-cloak?

  • @Nick 7 seconds real time (10 seconds Starcraft time). Note: The new Protoss expansion will use real time instead of blizzard time.
