  Buff brick DPS 295 -> ~304, returning 50% of the DPS it lost after the last nerf (down from 312.5) because: the nerf's goal was to make brick weaker vs Percy, and now Percy is strong vs brick, so there is space to buff the DPS the nerf's goal was to make brick weaker vs othuum/harb, and while in a 1-unit-composition matchup this nerf made it more fair per mass, the brick needs to be more unfair because their lack of shields makes sniper DPS and Ythotha AoE very strong. Their stats also struggle to beat GC/ythotha + harb/othuum compositions a bit too much, which makes getting Megalith too difficult. Monkeylord is not good against GC/Ythotha at all, so mega is required to fight those T4s efficiently without just winning hard in T2 and getting an overpowering army at later T3. Add the Pulsar, which is the unreleased cybran T3 long range anti shield unit. It was wanted by old balance team, then it got delayed and eventually canceled by Rhaelya looking for an alternative solution before adding new units. Since no alternatives have been proposed and I don't see what would work better, I think the unit should finally be added. It solves the shieldless arty's low DPS against snipers and the struggle against mid-late gun coms that OC all your bricks if you try to attack anything while easily tanking with shield upgrades and mobile shields. Make firebeetles jump at enemies. it looks cool and fits the theme makes them hit in the middle of unit clumps more consistently, including on attack move/attack orders. reduces pathfinding needed increases their effective attack range The jump range in my prototype is around 5, which is the current detonation trigger range, and is small compared to any gun (LABs have 14 range). I think after the last nerf beetle is pretty good for gameplay but is a little weak because it dies very easily, especially at T3 stage, if you don't have basically equal unit counts and are in range to tank for the beetles, so that's why I'm interested in trying this new mechanic as a straight buff.
