Clickables: Reaper

Reaper

With the start of the Starcraft 2 Beta 2 launch, Clickables is back with another Terran unit - the Reaper. This tactical unit is as powerful as it is weak. While these units can push a lot of DPS, their small amount of health and low armor would make them easy to pick off - if only they weren't so damn fast. In the early game, reapers can play a crucial role for harassment and rushes - especially combined with their movement speed increase. Players with a strong micro ability will find the Reaper to be one of the funnest, and most annoying units in the game.

The Reaper is a formidable unit for the quick-fingered and fast-thinking player and this unit's personality captures this style of gameplay, speaking in a gritty voice akin to Snake from Metal Gear. As my ethereal stick prods him over... and over... and over... his true character attributes are revealed.

"The Grim Reaper has arrived."

"Death from above."

"Got somethin' for me to kill?"

"Fear the Reaper Man."

"The life of the reaper man is always intense."

"Damn, I'm all out of stems."

"These jets are burnin' my ass!"

"Fear the reaper, man"

"What's it worth?"

"The life of the Reaper Man is always intense."

"Death from above"

"If you can't get it cheaper, call the reaper."

"I'm bringin' the pain and the pizza in 30 minutes or it's free."

"I'm make dead people." (Sixth sense reference)

"I'm goin' commando."

"I ain't got time to bleed."

"To Tysaros.. and beyond!" (Toy Story reference)

"I thought I was signin' up to be a rePO man... imagine my surprise."

"This is ground control to major tom..." (Space Oddity reference)

"Ah... I like you. That's why I'm gonna kill you last." (Commando Reference - brainwasher5)
