op unit

I feel bad for terran and protoss players cause this unit shits all over them
sadly only works when u have 100+ supply in swarm hosts.

How do I counter swarm hosts effectively? ...Colossus?

unless u have 5 of them you wont beable to clear fast enough
maybe though but im laughing at it just got done with another game

guy quoted before he left

FUCK YOU SWARM HOST OP

Swarm hosts only get effective when you got like 25 of em.

^^ exactly try getting 40 of them unstopable

I dunno.. There's a lot of stuff Protoss can do to stop that from happening.

I mean, swarm hosts are very positional, much like tanks.

Use active scouting/catching them out of position/timing attack before 40 hosts/etc

you don't even have to use them as a killing unit.

you could just make lets say 10 and make a 2nd army of hydras or roaches and lead with the thing they spawn when they die
back up wait for another spawn goo slowly melt them down to nothing.

just saying how much potential this unit has to be great

You must not be very good.

m8, you nn 25+ of them
3of them will kill all units, if attack at 8min!

i myself consider them less usefull after the 15min mark (relaying on economical advantage to match, and to late, and it requires you to build poor units to reache the point of 25+swarmhost to make them usefull after 15min mark)
before the 15min mark, from 8-15min, just a few of them can give flawless victory!

urly protos air builded at safe location, attacking the spores before corruptor have arived, so observer can arive safe.
urly tanks not snipible on hi-ground from locust on low ground whit overlord vision, is the only shit that can kill locust whitout overstpendings
battle fortress+scv repair can stand against a few swarmhost, untill scv gets sniped before locust is killed
other swarmhost combined whit broodlords, or just luck+spores-vision+swarmhost
and ofc, urly tier1-all-ins before swarmhost can attack
