Archons do a lot more damage than ultras ultras have lots more armor than archons (esp at that point in the game) ultras probably have dark swarm on their side archons have psistorm on their side they regen health at about the same time ultras need lings to be effective (even amount of gas, archons > ultras in general) zerg should have more bases to go ultra, so, once again, it counters the more min cost. you need more ultras than you need archons (toss needs less bases). This thread isn't that helpful for....anything. but he wants to compare unit to unit. its theory ofc. | ||

More simply put, Pepsi is overloaded with sugar and thus tastes a hell of a lot worse than Coca Cola. And when I think about it, Pepsi DOES taste like Diet Cola. | ||

The only WEAKNESS archons have is they take full damage from all unit types, and are made completely useless in the face of EMP. | ||

It's just that zerg's economy is better(and they have swarm) or ultralisks wouldn't be as viable. Just imagine Zerg with Archons and Toss with Ultralisks, ling/archon would rape so bad :D | ||

Didn't see anyone else use it at that time, not progamers and not top foreign players and no-one actually knew this. I remember a game against hexer where he would not believe me, I won the game and we did the test at the end of the game with an archon against an ultra under swarm. Archon did 5 damage  .Yay I can still gloat in 2008 ;D | ||

1. Many units do no do full damage to them becaus of their large unit size(i.e vultures). 2. They can have a total of 6(!!!!) armour. 3. For the same cost archons have a total of 360HP, ultralisks have 400 4. You can upgrade ultralisk speed 5. You just 'S'U' and done, a group of ultralisks, no need to merge anything to get them 6. They do full damage under dark swarm 7. They cost a 1:1 mineral:gas ratio, which can be maintained easier than paying 300 gas instead of 200 gas, minerals aren't too big of a problem for zerg, it usually just goes to adding more lings to the army, which wouldn't be effective against storm/archons/MnMs anyway. I'm sure archons have advantages too like higher damage, can hit air, splash, but even after considering those it still appears that ultralisks are 'better'. | ||
