[D] PvZ Muta/Ling - Page 7

Im a zerg player and I think what the protoss player was getting at here is that mutas force you to multi-task and defend many points at once. Vs Terran I always go banelings and protoss I always go Mutalisks. Yes there are many variable factors but in general mutas work well.

Ill give an example of why they work well. Lets say the map is lost temple and the protoss is on the left hand side 9 oclock and im at the 12. This is a game I recently played. I will fly to the expo from the top and try to attack his probes, if he has defence I will fly away and then fly from the bottom to get his main probes. if that is defended as well, I will fly in from the right and attack his gateways, stargates etc.

The guy was talking about the harrassments and not being able to move out. Yes in a perfect game u would have mass pheonix or whatever u need. Also I find pheonix really hard to fight with mutas. For Zerg players I have found baiting them works quite well. What I mean is if pheonix fly back so I can't hit them, i will star attacking a building etc so they come back and attack me, at that point I will target the pheonix with all my mutas and I get a chance to attack. Also if the pheonix hurt ur mutas, when ur regrouping with ur new mutas heal them with your queens.

The main point is really Mutas give Zerg players scouting as they can fly all around the map checking for expos and when u hit the base u can also see what the protoss is going. I have lost going mutas but find as a zerg player Mutas vs protoss and Banelings vs Terran as the main units I use.

Also I have not come across a protoss player who has used archons / storm on my mutas yet.

Opponent went fast 4 gate stalkers with fast blink and walled off, his stalkers couldnt catch my mutas and put pressure at the same time. I eventually won with a muta/ling bust on the gateway that was forming the bulk of the wall and overran him.
