MUTALISKThe Mutalisk has changed little

from its original incarnation as the

spacefaring Mantis Screamer of

the desolate Dinares sector.

Mutalisks form the primary flying

force of the Zerg, making hit-and-

run attacks against vulnerable

installations and wheeling across

the skies in prodigious numbers

above Zerg Hives or land-based forces. Mutalisks are agile

and dangerous opponents. They can attack foes both in

the air and on the ground by expelling a voracious

symbiote known as the Glave Wurm, which can rapidly

strike at several opponents as it explosively disintegrates.

In large numbers or against weak defenses, Mutalisks are

a deadly threat.

WEAK AGAINST

Primary air unit.

Extremely fast attackers – can attack on the move with careful micro-

management.

Attacks can strike multiple targets, automatically bouncing from one

enemy to the next.

Effective scouts and skirmishers, able to slow/disrupt oncoming forces or

enemy expansions.

VS Terran

Long range and armor give Thors an advantage against Mutalisks, and the

bonus against light armor and splash damage on the Thor’s anti-air attack 

makes them ideal for fighting off large waves of Mutalisks.

Ghosts’ Snipe ability can instantly pick off and destroy Mutalisks before they

can react.

VS Zerg

Hydralisks, particularly massed and upgraded Hydralisks, provide a strong

defense against Mutalisk harassment.

Corruptors are a hard counter against Mutalisks.

VS Protoss

Photon Cannons are a good defense against Mutalisks, especially when

combined with Stalkers.

Phoenixes do extreme damage when deployed against Mutalisks thanks to

their bonus damage against light units. Make use of their ability to shoot

while moving to take no damage from Mutalisks while killing them.

Stalkers, particularly with the ’Blink’ ability, are able to advance on

Mutalisks quickly, pursue them, and deliver significant damage.

I don't need Corruptors to destroy those massive air units. I can use to many mutas on those oversized flying garbage cans!

The main advantage of Mutalisks are their screaming sound which always scares the opponent by its out of this world stangness!

This is how u cann take down mutas. A group of marines can eat up mutas. Vikings can take mutas down and if the game goes long

enough thors are great. If they r reall y useing them a lot build some mts. If ur protoss stalkers r great esp if u have blink. Phx r good

and again if there is a lot of mutas cannons will put a stop to them real quik. If ur zerg queens can stop 1 or 2. Build a few hydras.

Other mutas can chase em out of ur base. I dont like spores but again if they got a lot of mutas you'll need some.

i think they should lower the price of mutas because the only way that they are worth while is if you completely mass them, but they

should lose tha riccochet ability cuz wtf is that?

@VergenSoldie: With Thors, Ghosts or Marines? With Hydralisks, corruptors or Mutalisks? With Archons, Stalkers, Phoenixes

or Carriers? Only splashing them will defeat them otherwise don't use splash units equal those Broods will be torn apart and

become dead beasts, terrans will get slaughtered or even infested to fast and those Toss can end up meeting Khala's end.

"Well, the zergling rush did not work........I'm going muta!!!" Been hearing this a lot? Mutalisks needs something done to them either

their HPs dropped or their time it takes to make them increased. They are just way to powerful in large numbers and a force of them can

be made way too quick.
