Re: [Epic] Silver Towers' Beam of Power

Just out of curiosity, does Magnus the Red now fire in psychic phase?
The reason I ask is because his Beam of Power is (almost) identical to
the Silver Towers. If his attack timing hasn't changed, it would seem
reasonable that the Silver Towers haven't changed either. And, to
whoever it was who commented that Towers die, I agree. I've played a
couple of times against Chaos, and each time one of those Towers got
smoked, which is enough to break the unit. They really are rather
fragile units (though they do pack a nice bit of firepower, as I
recall)
