I watched a replay a few weeks ago, before the patch came out, and this guy used EMP vs cloaked banshees which worked pretty well, so I decided to give it a go. My game was post-patch which I thought was the problem until I saw this:
o Ghost
+ EMP now drains up to 100 energy instead of all available energy. The effect on Protoss shields remains unchanged.
I don't see why this would change an emp against a banshee....
By the way, I hit the banshee perfectly on target 3 times without doing anything. |

Post a replay. Im assuming you missed because they are flying so you actually need to aim below them.
It should remove 100 energy and always decloak them for a short period of time. If they're out of energy they can't recloak.Last edit: 2011-03-26 09:48:27 |

| EMPs decloack DTs and observers IIRC, so it shouldn't make a difference, aim below them like previous poster said |

It was probably not a Banshee but rather the infamous Protiss Sniper killing all your units.
Post a replay, because it should have revealed the Banshee. If not it might have been a glitch or something. |

| EMP still decloaks things. If the Banshee didn't decloak, then you missed. |

| You definitely missed because of the 3d graphics you actually have to aim below flying units to hit them with aoe spells. |

you were probably shooting at a viking
but all jokes aside the most probable explanation would be you missed. If you retry and still fail then you should post a replay |

| A tip for not missing in the future: Go into the options menu and under gameplay, check the show flyer helper box. Now there will be a little circle on the ground below air units. That circle is what you aim for. |

This. Or aim for the shadow, not the unit itself |

That's not going to help for cloaked banshees, since it doesn't show up. |

Just picture the line and the dot going under the banshee with your mind, its not hard. A little practice and you will be used to it. |

It will help you in as much as you get used to seeing the dot on air units so you know where you're supposed to aim. But you have a point. |

it's harder to aim an emp at a CLOAKED FLYING unit because the cloaked graphic is not exactly where the emp needs to land, and you don't have the flying unit helper since the unit is cloaked. but then again it might have been the |

| playes a game not to long ago where i went 111 in TvT and my opponent went fast ghosts. He tried to EMP my Banshee multiple times but the energy didnt drop. It must not work anymore. This is recent so currently EMP does not work on banshee's. |

| EMP still drains banshee energy and decloaks them. It decloaks observers and DT's as well. Nothing has changed since that patch except the snipe nerf. |

| Check that you actually hit the banshee. Remember to turn on the height markers; flying units are technically located on the ground that they are flying over, so that if your EMP visually overlaps the Banshee itself, you've probably missed. If you're finding that this happens more often now than it did a long time ago, that would be because of the EMP radius nerf; some bad misses used to just hit the target anyway because the blast was so large. |

| Checked in a unit tester; landed emp where it was suppose to go (lol) and it drained banshee energy. Working as intended. Last edit: 2012-05-30 03:23:01 |
