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 | ||

Only Zerglings can hit Firebats in Swarm so Terran runs over Zerg under the Swarm. Try it out! | ||

irradiate defiler + stimmed & shielded firebats be more effective? | ||

I think it's bad idea, all those gas could've used to make vessels and minerals for some mines, works better normally. | ||

Or if the T is absolutely crushing the Zerg you can kinda do it to stop the Z from saving an expo with like 2 lurkers under swarm or something. By all means it is not awesome or something that you should use in an average game. Vultures+Mines are much better as a counter to lurk/ling/defiler imo. | ||

If it gets rough, you can still use the medics until SCV cloaking is done upgrading. | ||

I know it seems like they're melee but actually they don't hit. :p I'd say nuke it. :D | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
