Something GOOD about insect shield

[SomeGirl]

We'll we all know insect shields the worst but I found out something that may intrest a few anti stratos players

You take NO damage from freeze attacks while you have an insect swarm around you... I was using silverbacks today; I had 12 in circle formation(best formation for flying melee/close range units) and 4 or 5 continously were attacking the Seerix/Acheron AI and they were not freezing nor taking damage

Maybe this is only protective vs silverbacks but it could also prevent freezing from freeze and frozen ground

[Flea]

silverbacks sure did damage to marduk when he had it on... and if they have any shield on, you cant be frozen, just take damage...

Hmm.. well Seerix/Acheron were taking 0 damage from it while they had insect shield on

[ElWatto]

Were you in single player? Acheron has real high spell resistance so that could be why freeze wasn't working on him.
