As far the time and micro, its not that hard, you just select all your ghosts, press the snipe key, hold shift, and spam click on the ultra. As your ghosts can be invis, you should be able to get in range. They don't... Per total cost with the minimum of units then yes, but that is trading a lot of gas for minerals and gas is going to be the limiting factor. There are few ways of cueing up 12 snipes per ultra not to mention the ultras reach the ghosts in the time it takes for a couple of rounds of snipe to go off. If you just hold shift and the ultras charge at you then you will lose ghosts faster than you can spend their energy or kill ultras. The only real way to do all the snipes at once is to block the ghosts in, get vision of the ultras, cue up 12 snipes per ultra, and then unblock the ghosts. That might let the ghosts win only if the ghosts are full energy and are present in higher gas cost totals than the ultralisks. The fact is that 360 damage won't kill an ultra, besides the fact that the ultra will already be hitting the ghost before the ghost can finish doing all of its snipes. Cloak wastes 2 potential snipes at the least and it can be countered easily. | ||

Similar to Broodwar, just having a lot of units is the best way to deal with Ultras(unless they are marines). Of course, remember that if the Thors have 250 mm Cannons then they're much more vulnerable to NP. | ||

It seems now that thors don't stun ultras that the only counter to ultra is air. Marauder and thor are basically even, not counters. I think Terran with a critical mass of tanks and thors and hellions and marauder in front shielding and running around can beat ultras though. That's the best ground counter to ultras I know. Hellions aren't too bad against ultra if they kite, they can make the ultras run around a lot more while thors and tanks deal damage. | ||
