medic (blind) + cloacked ghosts are still the best combo vs lurkers
imho


Well, SCVs still hit under swarm, so I advise defensive matrix (cuz you already have vessel) and hit with SCVs. If it gets rough, you can still use the medics until SCV cloaking is done upgrading.


Since when SCV hit under swarm? I know it seems like they're melee but actually they don't hit. :p

I'd say nuke it. :D
I happy, thus I run.

this is a bit weirfd but
i read a post about ArtofTerran using bats vs swarms
ive seen this in many vods and replays too but i've never tried it myself i dun think

how does this exactly work?
do the firebats only take damage from melee units inside the swarm? so basically if there are lurks inside, the lurks cant damage the firebats while the bats can kill off thelurks?

is this a common and very-viable coutner to swarm?

cuz i usually just vessel and kill of the defilers and lurks w/ irridiate


Firebats are not affected by swarm and they still get hit by ling/lurk/ultra. They are viable if there are only a very small number of lurkers, otherwise they would be raped badly, so they are usefull are pretty rare situations.

I remember way back in the day Boxer got alot of bats mid game vs Tsu. Who was a Dark swarm whore. Worked pretty well.

i think it is useful to mix a few in just to make sure you arent poweless in the face of small but annoying groups of units

Na-ah!! I say build battlecruisers!!11oneone. They are immune to lurker/ling and yamato gun does 100% damage under storm. Also u can irradiate them and defence matrix them and hold them over their army. U don't even need dmatrix if he no have scrouge or hydra or muta or spore or devourer.
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.
