i mean seriosly, they cant attack aircraft, and they barely do any damage ageist land things, i mean;
Brutes: they are good against vehicles, with their stun shot
Suicide grunts: good against taking down bases
Elites: ???
fill the blank
Honor Guards, supported by a prophet, make for a great 5-minute rush. I wouldn’t reccomend it, but they can also defeat scarabs- as scarabs cannot hit units that are very close to them.
answer: cannon fodder
(and scouting)
Hm… let’s see.
-
They own arbiters.
-
They own brute squads.
-
They defend covie rushes easily.
-
They can be placed in hooks.
They’re great units.

they are also cheap and build faster than brutes. prophet rush with honor guards protecting base is strong to arby.
Sneak into the enemies base using camo and then a COW!!!
Scouting is an obvious choice, the invisibility won’t provoke anything from the enemy.
I was in a party 2v2 once and getting an invisible up to their base to see what they were brewing up practically won us the game because we could get anti-crap out quicker.
They’re your only choice if you want to get into a hook without building a hall, but personally I prefer mine to shoot back.
You might even be able to make a good distraction out of them and have the enemy army follow them in a fit of greed and free points if you want to move something in without getting it shot at.
They’re very good when rushing an arbiter or when defending from a rushing arbiter they’re also good when you’ve got anti vehicle hunters and you keep getting attacked by air they can soak alot of damage untill anti air gets there especially with the overshield upgrade
I like them but I’m not proficient in their use hehe.
ehg’s also have ridiculous amounts of health + cloak and shields.
Honor Guards are the best anti-Covie-rush early game unit. They rip Brutes to shreds especially, I can’t imagine it being possible to beat a Brute rush as Prophet without them. Just remember they’re an early game unit.
Supported by jackels, they are good against infantry.
1 non upgraded Elite is pretty much the same as a non upgraded marine squad i believe.
They also make carpet bombs sorta useless because if you want to hit them, you have to hit your own units, same for cryo bomb.

I would have said “MOO!!!”. That’s just my choice of words though…
