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!


Damn, thanks for the tip Tommy!

no problem

about that matter, and when i just explained about weaknis of swarmhost,
better get anti anti-swarmhost units instead of building more swarmhosts!
i am talking, build air-tec, just when reveal swarmhost, so your counter to his counter arive sooner, when fighting against toss, corruptors even pown collosi!
ofc, always have spore near swarmhost, you not wana get owned bye banshee+scan / and ofc it kil oversees/observers, and it keeps terrans bussy when you move swarmhost just to outrun scans, you also kill dt/stealth noobs
and even if no air comes at all, its still nice, couse urly game, opponent have somthing to attack, if locust is death or under way, this prevent them from running to drones, allow locust to respawn at opponents army.

e/
i am also making a teoriecraft about my new trick i gone test in 1vs1,
Evacuate all for da swarmhost!

I would have to disagree tommy...

swarm hosts that kill masters usually come at this 2 base nydus timing outside your natural. it's like a countdown timer for the protoss where he needs to kill them before they reach critical mass / other crap arrives.

if the toss went air-tech (aka trying to get voids out), this will usually cause the toss to die. colossus is the only viable counter bc you can kill locusts infinitely with them when you MICRO. you shoot with coloss and back up to ur army/away from that shit. you also need to use FFs to block off a wave and stop it from doing any damage (or w/e).

If it takes you too long to get coloss out, you will slowly die. if they have time to get a bunch of corrupt, you might die. void rays are the hardest to survive this timing with unless zerg is bad.


If you don't bust out, kill the nydus, etc, you will slowly die cuz more hosts will arrive lol.





@tommy: i dont need coloss to stop your 3 swarmhosts lol. I can build a robo gateway army and crush it...cuz you have to be offensive. I'll just ff your locusts and kill the small army you have, or slowly kill locusts with ff/etc.
