Ideas for melee units abilities

Hi All,

​

As i am building a RTS / shooter hybrid game and i am at the point of creating abilities for melee units i wanted to see if anyone still has some cool ideas about abilities that have not yet done in games or that are just so awesome i should also do them. The game is created in a fantasy setting so nearly anything is possible. The general ideas is that both team have the same units but you can buy special "heaven" and "Hell" units at mid map points.

​

Currently the main melee unit already has 1 ability to shrink to 1/20 of normal size while the speed remains the same. this give some nice sneak attack ability's. I cant remember this has ever been done in a online shooter RTS game.

​

So do you have any cool ideas to add to these melee units for special abilities .
