for Ultra against thor, if you upgrade the 30 mm cannon for thor it roasts ultras... Literally decimates them, so maybe add that in, because its not an expensive upgrade especially late game and ur thors will toss them aside like fat zerglings if u have it.

0-3 Thor vs a 6 armored Ultralisk still does more damage over 10 seconds auto attacking than 250mm Cannon does. It's absolutely useless in TvZ :[

I would try an expo to the south, but yeah its definitely viable on Scrap Station. I just hate that map so I have it thumbsed down xD



I suppose you could, but I avoid tanks simply because I prefer Thor/Marauder against Roaches. I haven't actually tried this though so I couldn't tell you...I don't see why not though.



Agh sorry I've been tied up for a bit >_> Will be up by this weekend, promise!



Ultras need to be sniped and focused by Thors ASAP. They're a high priority target since they rip Thors up quite well. If you can get your Hellions in front of your Thors at that point, then you should be able to take care of them quite easily.

Against Bling/Ling, you need to micro your hellions so that they do not die to the initial baneling wave and then reposition them behind your Thors so they can attack the lings freely.

Hi, I've added this build to the Liquipedia. I changed around some sentence structure to make it more consistent (mostly removing self-reference pronouns like "I" and "me") and sectioned it off according to how most builds on there go (which was a bit tricky since you listed three different build orders!).

Thanks Synystyr,

After trying this build for 20-30 games, i have been using this build as my default build. just some questions in my head. i usually hot key all my thors and move my hellions/scvs to follow the one of the thors in the middle. if they go ling/bling/muta, i have high condifence that i would win.

1) How many SCvs should i produce before max? i run into a situation where i got too many SCVs in 3 bases and hence my army size is smaller. Also building Thors is just too slow that i can't afford to wait reinforcement to come.

2) Does it mean that we can now double upgrade attack/armor? saw that earlier in this post ppl're saying upgrades don't apply to NP from Infestors. if the other guy goes roach with upgrade i have a hard time to flight off.

3) There was a game where Zerg went bling/roach/infestors and he loaded up Blings in his overlords and drop on my hellions and marines. He pulled all his overlords on top of my thors so my thors auto attack the overlords. at the same time he used his infestor to NR my thors. Any better engagement ideas on this?

Great build! Cheers.

2 rax doesn't transition well. on small maps you can't transition to starport play that quick you'll lose to econ baneling all in, see MVP vs dimaga, or bomber vs kyrix. 2 rax is always followed by a CC, and then choice of 2 more rax or double gas + bunkers.

can't believe you still don't understand timings.

So umm...I have a feeling I will be facing this style a lot on ladder after the ptr goes through (if it does) and was wondering, how do you not...die?

If the np nerf goes through, should we seek to upgrade weapons, seeing as that the point not to upgrade was to reduce np'd Thor damage?

It seems getting +4/+8 air damage against blords/mutas per upgrade is very powerful, as well as hellion splash amplifying in power as well
