Phoenix, Archon. Phoenix does + damage to light armor, which Mutas are. Mutas and Corrupters deal normal damage back to it, since it's light armor. Corrupters don't get the + bonus damage. Archons do + damage to biological units, which Mutas and Corrupters both are. Mutas deal normal damage back to it, and Corrupters can't target it. It also has an AOE. Of course, this doesn't take into account health and damage per resource spent, so maybe Mutas are still good because they're more resource efficient than Archons and Phoenixes. Also, Nony's build didn't incorporate Templar tech, or Starports, so neither were an option for him in that game  .Oh, and here are the SC2 Armory profiles for all the related units: http://www.sc2armory.com/game/protoss/units/archon http://www.sc2armory.com/game/protoss/units/phoenix http://www.sc2armory.com/game/zerg/units/corruptor http://www.sc2armory.com/game/zerg/units/mutalisk EDIT: Was digging around some more, and apparently sentries deal bonus damage to biological units, and they can target air units. They might be a good counter for Mutas in a Zealot+Colossus build. Then again, they do only have 40 HP and 40 shields............ | ||

However, 100 gas is quite a lot if you are already going colossii :S Zealot + Sentries then? What counters those? Are Zealots with Charge backed up by the Sentry's armor buff still bad against Roaches with speed upgrade? | ||

HT may be weaker, but Colossi seem way, way more powerful than Reavers. They're faster, have similar dps, similar range when Colossi range is upgraded, can walk up walls, and rape worker lines much better than Reavers did, since one sweep of their lasers melts numerous drones and probes, while SCVs require 2 sweeps to kill. Their lasers also don't bug out the way Scarabs do. Colossi are also at a similar place on the tech tree that HT are in SC2 and SC1. Add to this the fact that HT and DT now require separate tech buildings, and Colossi seem to be a much stronger option for Protoss anti-ground than HT were in SC1. Zealot + Colossi are comparable to SC1's Zealot + Dragoon + HT, in that both unit compositions have melee damage soakers, ranged damage dealers, and AOE. The difference is, Colossi don't require energy to do ranged AOE damage, but they cost a lot. Add in 2 or 3 Sentries for their damage-reducing shield, and it doesn't seem like Zerg has a ground unit composition that can beat Zealot + Sentry + Colossus. Old Ultraling would have lings get melted by Colossus, and then Ultras would be left alone vs. the Protoss army. Hydralisks suck vs. Zealots. Roaches suck vs. Colossus. | ||

I'm not sure you could kill them if they have burrow? + If he mixed in banelings he'd basically rape your entire army I think. But I haven't tested this, so it's worth trying :O It's an interesting mix for sure. | ||

Zerg rolls over this with Corruptor/Baneling. Cheaper min/gas cost than zealot/colossus (keep in mind, sentries are 100 gas) and gives you room to add in things like roaches, hydras, or some extra lings/expos. Banelings do a massive amount of damage to zealot based armies, and the zerglings sweep up whatever is left. | ||
