Yes in theory, but it's the fucking most impossible thing to do

no because your hatch would have to be in range in order to take damage, and well, you need your proxy hatch.
i guess you could consistently build a pool or something in range of the cannon, after the proxy hatch and the sunk will acquire the cannon, however you would need a pylon/gateway/core etc in range of the sunken

i wonder if this could be a viable zvz rush
build sunken out of range of the defending one
and bring some drones to constantly make pools/cancel when nearly done/remake so the your sunken, attacks the sunkens out of range

i wonder if stuff like this is why unsieged tank attacks sieged tank and what about super speed zealots and stuff. Understanding why this happens is very neat though

It's total luck, after every attack that hits the cannon the sunken will attack the other building again.

This seems very multitasking intensive to be put to good use but it's useful to know in case of a cannon rush as noted. However, your pictures don't work.
I bet Koreans have known this for 5 years already.


It's not multitasking intensive at all. You just need lucky circumstances.

If you place a Sunken in the correct place, the Starcraft unit attacking AI will do everything for you. Check the replay


You are clearly overestimating them. They probably dont even know that there is a pre-attack frame of animation, just as they dont know that some of things in starcraft are frame dependant.

Unless you get an Arbiter to recall a Dragoon that is just about to attack, so that he starts his attack sequence before getting recalled but ends up shooting his plasma cannon after the recall so that it travels across the map to hit the Hatchery next to the Sunken which triggers the Sunk to change target to the Dragoon and thus Sunk hits the Dragoon on the other side of the map.


Someone should recreate this scenario, film it and post it.


This is quite easy to be reproduced with carriers in an opposite way. The interceptors fly through the whole map to return to the carriers, just after the carriers are recalled somewhere else (I think it happened in that TL staff BGH name for example).

So at Step 2.5, you can manually change the target by clicking 'a' or does that target have to attack you?

"That target" as you mention it have to attack a neutral building NEAR ur shunken.
Although i'm not sure if it works if it's the sunken indeed that is attacked. (From what i've read on this op and replies, i'm sure it's not)

Ps : and no, you have to not target it manually. Otherwise it doesn't work.


At step 2.5, the enemy target must attack either your sunk or a unit next to it. In the replay (youtubed above) the Cannon attacks the Hatchery, which is next to the Sunk.

So is this purely timing dependent? (You have to time your sunken's attack on the pylon so that the cannon will hit the hatchery at the appropriate time, right?)

I don't like this.

I like the writeup, but not the trick itself.

Unlike the other tricks in the game, I think this one should be fixed.

I seriously doubt it will ever become a problem. To me, it just seems a bit too luck-dependant to be a reliable trick.

Ohhhh, so THIS is why valkyries sometimes shoot across the entire map :D. Very cool guide/write up, though I hope I never see it in use effectively against me >.<.

very very cool. I can't see it being effective a huge amount of the time though - there's too many different dependent factors (non attacking buildings, making sure the timing works out, etc. ) way way cool though. Port to liquipedia ^^

according to the write-up, your strat won't work unless some units of the opponent is within the sight of your sunken
do not agrue with idiots, they will pull you down to their level and beat you with their experiences
