Zerg will have to adapt and the gameplay will evolve. As usual. | ||

I have a replay of Boxer dating back to 2002-4 where he uses Valkyries against a Z on LT. I think they are good if the zerg is doing the muta build and get surprised by valk timing. If spotted, I dont see why wraiths arent much different. Easier to harass with wraiths since it also attacks the ground. | ||

First off, element of surprise. As any other build, this element can help players win game. Second, it causes panic, and makes them make premature decisions. Third, most Zergs have issues adapting. They wouldn't know what to do in this case, until a specific counter will have been released. | ||

As a Zerg player, I feel like the most important way to bring down Valkyries is Scourges. Cheap, efficient, and can be snuck under while Mutas soak up the damage | ||

I wouldn't say it's revolutionary, but it could spawn a trend of mech builds with valks involved. I suppose I woulnd't mind all too much being wrong - I like when matchups change - although I must say I'm not too fond of Terran doing mech in all three matchups. The bionic builds have always been what's made TvZ so special. All the blood, marines dying... Pardon me, but it's bloody lovely. | ||

i think rines can face mutas but they can follow them and continue fighting a good numbers of valks and the scourge and mutas dies fastly | ||

A lot of players started making ghost but, like after 1 month, nobody were using them. The same thing will probably happen to that valks build. lol.. only the noobs started using ghosts, retard. everyone who was smart enough to see that the lockdown thing boxer did was just to make the game fun. | ||

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). | ||

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... | ||

Cheap, efficient, and can be snuck under while Mutas soak up the damage but thats the problem, isnt it? if you have that key amount of 7-10 valks, you will have air superiority unless devourers come, because the missiles hit everything, even the scourge. Its not like sneaking in scourge in the muta group while attacking a battle cruiser. | ||

Back in the day when I used to play regulary and even more back in the day when I used to play more Terran I often built Valks and it usually worked out pretty well, Scourge can easily counter them though. | ||
