But otherwise in PvZ for example the effect is opposite - the are huge and block many units, and BW AI ignores spellcasters/workers if other units are present an does not attack them. MCing other units would became more useful if all upgrades stayed. I mean the 5-3 Ultra would be quite an enhancement fighting 3-3 lings. But the engine does not support like lone upgrades - that would mean you would steal all upgrades with MC which would be too much. | ||

Also, if the opponents trutle up and tech to car/BC after seeing the middle is contained, you can just MC those units too. The mael/FB could possibly be useful if they tried to break out of the middle, but since this is just a build ot fuck around and have fun with v pubs, I don't think its really a point of stress. | ||

DAs are very effective in late game PvZ, maelstrom + storm half of his army. Especially powerful when the game developed into a big air battle (devourer/muta vs. corsair/carrier). Maelstrom all devourers and storm them dead. Almost imbalanced. Arbiters with stasis are helpful in PvZ too but they cost even more, that's why they are rarely seen there. DAs are also very effective in a PvP middle to late game when the opponent goes all Carriers (mind control). | ||

Mael/storming crabs and devs is nice, but it's rare to see it. More common when facing crack/ults. Just freeze the ults and the rest of the stuff melts | ||

Unless your in real late game like that Kingdom vs Jju game on luna, that kinda sucks vs ultraling because you don't get any of the armor/attack upgrades. I tried that experiment once w/ zeal archon DA vs ultraling, lings demolish the ultra. Mael is by far better, not to mention that your DA still retain their shields so they're much better as blocking units for your archon / zeal. | ||
