However if he goes hydra+lurkers+defilers with good grades and you are not 100% confident with your micro switch to 3 factory tank vultures w mines while still pumping rines. Scatter the tanks so that he cannot reach them in a few dswarm and lay a shitload of mines in front to defend your expands (that's in case of a long TvZ, he cannot make a significant hydra lurk def army without 4 gases anyway). It will prevent an attack, while you go on a drop frenzy trying to kill his multis. Tank attack upgrades will help. You won't see that in pro games but that the best counter I've found for a casual and sloppy player like me. Unless you have really really good micro and multitask, going SKterran against hydra lurk swarm is suicide, same if you are moving with a blob. I've gone a bit off topic but I've been really struggling against swarm users and it really pissed me off so I hope it will be helpful  | ||

even a more desperate way is to irrad ur own vessels and float/patrol over the DS!! T_T ahahha that's what i do when i'm too lazy to find the defiler. although it'll take lil long to kill them, you'd kill anything else under the ds. | ||

Dropships are a bitch to counter, (If you have control of the center you can send dropships through there, maybe with a dmatrix) if he's going around with swarm hopefully you can beat his army head to head, so you can drop one place and stop him from defending the exp with your main army. (keep pressuring his main force, so he can't run around the map.) | ||

You just keep scooting your units back and then irridate the defilers before he swarm, try to target it with your tanks too | ||

I use bats with d-matrix, since i already have acad tech and vessel tech with no irad. I'm not saying its the best counter, but if you dont have mines researced or irad researched, and hes already pushing with filer+ lurks, it can be an alternative. | ||

You should just throw some Irradiates before he gets to throw up a cloud and make it hard to see. | ||

Otherwise, vultures are key. You can simply mine up the map and make sure that no defiler gets by you. If you want to cheat, allied mines. | ||
