Assuming all unit upgrades are complete and that all spellcasters are at full energy (and that both sides have reasonably good micro), what do you think would be the strongest 1v1 unit?

You must consider that a matchup such as carrier vs DT would actually be a tie as the carrier cannot see DT..

hmm we could actually .. well calculate this.. every unit vs every unit and the one with the most wins and least loses and draws ( dt vs carrier e.g. ) would win.. omg
im just.. let me say.. guessing..
without micro 1v1 the best unit is probably.. omg no idea its too complicated but if someone has the time..
make a list and we can find out ^^;;

it's not even a competition, a cloaked wraith wins every fight it gets in.

Probably the carrier. It's tankinsh hp, with 8 fully upgraded interceptors, decent attack speed, and ability to attack both ground and air should prove it superior to most units.

EDIT: Well, if you're saying that neither side gets detection, the ghost has the same ability as the wraiths (attacks ground and air, cloak). The nuke takes supply, so is it part of the ghost definition of a spell?

there's only 2 important factors - whether it cloaks, and whether it is air.

i think it's either:
lurker, dt, ghost, carrier, wraith

carrier will beat ghost imho. ghost don't have enough energy to take down a carrier. but wraith imho beats carrier. and wraith can beat any other stuff too.

so i go with wraith.

EDIT: ya... dark archon with mind control but dies to dt.

This discussion is dumb if there is no detection, with detection its still dumb.

will maelstrom work on dt?

DA with upgrade is 250 energy right? maelstrom = 100, mindcontrol = 200? shoot, can't maelstrom then mind control. but i guess DA can keep running so it's draw, not loss.

DA would win vs every visible unit + dt
[edit] when i think about it, the dt could just stand in any corner of the map, the DA had no chance of getting him

the drone can tie or beat every unit too

burrow vs all cept vessel and templar
build building vs those
;(

if you want a serious answer, without special abilities or micro im fairly confident the archon wins 1v1 vs anything, even bc.
with special abilities, dark archon beats mostly everything, with exception of wraith that has enough mana to kill it off without uncloaking.

with micro and without special abilities, carrier should beat all.

drone beats scv and probe with micro/burrow+heal, should be able to beat marine too, although then you'd depend on no fuckups burrow-wise.

That's why I stressed in the olden days to never take Liquid`Drone's bw advice.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

MC is 150, there is plenty of micro maps out there that has some shit like...

1dt and 4 zealot has entered your base. You only have like 1DA and ur suppose to mael everything and MC the DT to finish off the zlot.
