If you put down some spines that can help counter hellion harass as well. | ||

I just go mass roach against this because obviously zergling/ banelings are worthless vs hellions and mutas are wrthless vs 5+ thors. So by the time they come out to take their third base they have so many thors that i cant kill them even with 200 supply of roaches. They just move out and kill all my bases and i have no way to kill their army. I'm so confused as to what to do. in my experience as a former meching terran mech is actually awful against zerg, if they are going thor hellion infestors neural parasite RAPES thors and fungal growth RAPES hellions and then the roaches clean up the rest if they are going more tank heavy it's going to take a long time for the tank count to get scary enough to where terran can push out and by that time you should be set with broodlords which are amazing against heavy tank play as a terran player i've completely given up on pure mech i just dont think it's as good as biomech or marine tank p.s. counter attacks with roaches are really good against mech aswell | ||

Heres's the replay. Yh seems like the consensus is to go roach infestor and use neural vs thors and fungal vs hellions. I guess i can take more bases if there turtling really hard. Thanks guys. Any more feedback is greatly appreciated. | ||

You can at least be at 4 base and make a killer roach/infestor/spire tech into muta or brood lord. Sounds like you just didn't answer the harassment problem as you should. You need to practice how to shut down harassment IMO. Yeah i do deal with the hellion harass okay. I put spines and leave 1 or 2 roaches at each base. | ||

If each and every one made a new thread every time they had question, this forum would be a clusterfuck after a very very short time. Especially when the question has been asked a million (litterarly) times before, AND there are spesific threads for simple questions and answers  EDIT: at least attach a replay. 90% of the time people ask something like "I have trouble with vs this", when the truth is that they are missing several other key aspects of the game they might not know themself. | ||

When i see zerg going for this you can see big smile on my face, i have already won. Hellions are faster than banelings and mutas cant deal with high thor count. Your best bet is roaches and infestors with NP. This really rapes thor/hellion. Just be sure to NP only half of thors, more than that is contraproductive. | ||

Instead, just make a ton of infested terrans and cast one fungal on the thors. The thors are too slow to run away, and you are able to kill every single one of them with your infested Terrans. Your roaches should be able to clean up the rest. | ||

Another piece of bad advice. Just disregard this. Infested terrans are light, they die easily to BF hellions. NP is your best friend. And why for god sake FG on thors? From what do I run? Thor has 400 hp and is really slow. I really want him dealing as much damage as it can, instead of moving him around and wasting all potential damage. | ||

This is right. Roach infestor is pretty much the only way to deal with hellions and a critical mass of thors. And you need NP. Once the main and nat start mining out Z will get an advantage in that the immobility if thors makes defending outlying expansions much harder, so counterattacks on those expos become more effective. | ||

The general them with zerg seems to be use of the infestor for a infestor-roach attack with neural, or infestor-muta-ling (with neural) | ||
