RTS noob here

Hey guys, you could say I’m completely new to RTS.
I noticed that sometimes certain units doesn’t react to the special ability command. I couldn’t get the Scorpions to shoot their grenades when they were selected as part of a larger group. When I selected only the Scorpions it didn’t work all the time either, just sometimes.
I can understand that the Nightingales for example don’t use their power when selected in a larger group and aimed at enemy unit since they would just waste it, but the others?

I didn’t play for the last two weeks though. Two updates were deployed since than but I couldn’t read anything about this.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is it normal? Do I miss a certain aspect?

Also, what does the large shield that the little flying unit from the banished deploys do? Does it absorb all the damage from outside or just a bit? Can you surpass the shield by moving your units into the area? I tried to figure out but I’m too stupid I suppose.

Thanks :smiley:

I think thats its just a glitch that needs to be fixed, in the meantime try spamming Y

I saw some guy on Reddit saying the engineer shield reduces incoming damage by 40% and some people agreeing with the OP. I haven’t seen anything official from Halo and I’m not sure if the Blitz card specifically states that so take it with a grain of salt.
