The only way for valkyries to truly become viable is for them to require 3 scourge hits instead of 2.

I voted for viable alternative, solely for the reason that if you do a mech build your only mobile alternative is to get some valkyries to support your goliaths (Good luck trying to get irradiate), and of course mech has become pretty popular lately. Using valkyries instead of vessels just isn't smart if you're going for the usuall M&M strategy, unless you're name is Boxer, of course

Isn't that exactly what happened with the Bisu build? And people said that was revolutionary..
Uh the bisu build is still used very often...its now [or some bastardization of it] your standard opening in pvz. It did revolutionize the game, and for the first time in years, gave protoss an extremely viable chance against Zerg on most maps.

But wasn't it Nal_rA not Bisu that invented sair reaver, which is the one used nowdays?




Bisu and Nal_rA both used sair reaver/ sair dt. However, Bisu used forge first, which allowed him to get the second gas much much faster (which is what made the build effective on all maps).

ya, if you're playing evolves and you hit the unit cap. with 200/200 supply on both sides sprites will still fire. it's the fact that 2 scourge kill them which is the biggest factor because they are more expensive (250/125 vs 150/100). very vulnerable.
must be very careful and have good control to win lol

Seems pretty solid I think. It's a good alt to Marine micro when it comes to defending Mutas.

Where did we see it first (recently)? BOXER. enough said.

I agree.

Definitely just a phase...and even then, I don't know about how well it'll work...3 hat mutas is already almost dead due to terrans figuring out near perfect turret timing and placement, and so we're already seeing a lot more variety in zerg openings...and iirc, valks come out AFTER the first six mutas in a 2 hat muta build...

GIMMIK valks have like worse AI than goons (thats saying something) u cant micro them very well because of this they have like a wierd second reaction time... so i cant see any1 actually using them. The only time they work is when ur playing a guy who has played 100+ games just to train vs u and then u go valks and hes like wtf? and loses game just due to a psychology trick. Boxer vs...?

No sair reaver is not whats being used really...
I could be mistaken, as my knowledge is about a month dated (school etc.) but sair reaver is still very map specific.

Pretty sure Nal_rA did forge first fe first.
