Summary0002967: Devourer Golem Killed by AI Implosion Units
DescriptionThe obvious point would be to make the Devourer immune to implosion shots.

I also believe it could use a health increase.

Implosion shots will be really powerful at first (on a full HP target), but will quickly lose their power once HP starts going down, so I don't think that is such an issue.

However, I do think an HP increase is in order. You are not the first to mention that the AI is managing to kill the devourer too frequently.

Implosion arty works on the remaining health so its effect decreases exponentially. It can't feasibly deal the finishing blow.

Implosion Artillery can't [i]finish[/i] the job easily, but as the devo golem can't fire on guardians, the guardians are quite capable of burning that last 15-20%
(I've seen devos come through with 60% and less HP on maps where the AI doesn't have implosion units)

* The devourer golem is now completely invincible -- it was never meant to be killable in the first place, but recent changes to the game made that so that it was possible post-5.0. Like the dyson sphere, the devourer is more intersting when it is indestructible.

As much as I'll miss the "kill the devourer" achievement, I fully support that change.
