They teleport through time though they are stuck at the end of the teleport for a bit.They attack by freezing things in time until they are removed from the time stream, and this can be done on friendly units as well to protect them from being damaged or captured, if you stop the attack order, and since they stop existing instead of being killed, no rubble left behind, no explosions on death. They are as good as you can micro.

The Teutonic Knight should be the next killer in Dead By Daylight. Its voice lines should just be 11, 8, 13, and 24.

Even after they were nerfed they still deformed the terrain where they hit which usually hosed up the opponent's units already shakey pathfinding.

that's why it is a mistake on the magnitude of installing AOL to let your opponent build one

also yeah, the AK sucked in comparison to the Peewee. Early game rush go pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew

You see, there were four kingdoms ruled by Garacaius' magical children and they all hated each other and fought all the time, so Garacaius went far away and built robots and many centuries later the robots came to kick his children's rear end so they put their differences aside and destroyed the robots.

[edit] Also the CORE commander had a plan to destroy the entire galaxy while being encased in an indestructible forcefield with the intent to walk out of it to rebuild the galaxy once the ARM was destroyed. This is a canon ending because we clearly didn't get Total Annihilation 2

If people had chosen TA over the garbage known as StarCraft rts would still be a respectable genre, and more importantly DOTAlikes wouldn't exist.
