This is insane, so useful and yet so simple. Sure makes me feel like a moron for not thinking about it before. Crazy part is that not even the top zerg players have been doing it. This changes alot.

I'm not going to lie, the simple muta no-clump has made muta vs mech sooo effective.

On the flip side I'm struggling against mutas as terran now , at least when my opponent does switches to banelings.

I never really have an issue with straight thors, it's thors+scvs that really hurt. Often I manage to catch a player with non turrets and one lone thor against 6 muta but can't actually win against it because of scvs. Are there any tricks to this or is repair just too strong to overcome without massive number advantage?

I've suggested this before... the problem is, how often do you get this many mutas? How often does terran NOT have any marines? How often your banelings will be able to get in range of marines with tanks in the back/hellions in the front??

It definitely works... it's definitely a great way to stop an idiot that masses nothing but thors and tanks...

Doesn't really fix ZvT tho... I mean 24 mutas is SO MUCH MONEY! =(

I'm mad that I never made this topic tho! XP

I've done this before, when I had no choice but to try to fight with my mutas, but I never realized I could use it as an actual mech counter. So thanks OP.

There's another thread for this, where you take your 3rd and 4th super fast after you harass good with your first 8 muta's or whatever and only saturate the gas on 3rd and 4th, and that gas will allow constant production of Muta's and then massive amounts of lings. Which rapes tech.

That's why it's called micro ;-)

Baneling those scvs.

I really think this unit combo balances zvt. The downside is that every tvz will be about the baneling vs stimmed marines battle. If marines don't die, terran wins. If marines die, zerg wins. Feels like bw lol.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

this is a thread that will help all zergs so freakin much. i was wondering also why sometimes mutas clump and other times they dont, u just came up with the concept earlier. does this also work for patrol

isnt it ironic? the key to sc1 mutas was clumps and the key here in sc2 (thors) is no clump and clump (somewhat) for other scenarios

Kinda makes mutas a bit inbalanced don't you think. What's the point of thor splash if it's never used. It's not like terran players have the capacity to make their thors do more splash.

Um, Thors shouldn't be the be all end all solution for Mutas. There is a reason why Terran mech vs Zerg is imbalanced right now. Tanks and hellions would dominate anything on the ground and Thors would annhilate Mutas [well not anymore ] and do exceptionally well on the ground aswell. Now with this change, the Terran will have to make a different unit compisition of either more vikings (which are not that great versus mutas) or more marines (which will allow banelings to shine a bit more).

In my games previously I have been prone to simply attack moving and trying to split them up in mid flight, this will be really useful, thanks.

Also note that the thors can move for a bit and your mutas will clump again, so be careful.
