Zerg Unit Weakness Deck 2

Question 1

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Zergling - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #1)

Answer 1

Baneling (Zerg)

Question 2

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Zergling - Why is it weak to the Baneling?

Answer 2

Reason: Hard Counter (AoE). Banelings are designed specifically to kill Zerglings. Their splash damage instantly clears swarms of light units.

Question 3

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Zergling - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #2)

Answer 3

Hellion (Terran)

Question 4

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Zergling - Why is it weak to the Hellion?

Answer 4

Reason: Kiting & Splash Damage. Hellions are faster than Zerglings (off-creep) and their line-based splash damage is devastating to clumped lings.

Question 5

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Zergling - Is weak to what unit type? (Weakness #3)

Answer 5

Colossus / Archon (Protoss)

Question 6

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Zergling - Why is it weak to the Colossus / Archon?

Answer 6

Reason: Splash Damage (AoE). Both units deal massive splash damage that negates the Zergling’s strength in numbers, clearing waves of them with ease.

Question 7

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Baneling - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #1)

Answer 7

Roach (Zerg)

Question 8

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Baneling - Why is it weak to the Roach?

Answer 8

Reason: High Health Durability. Roaches have enough health to survive multiple Baneling hits, making them a very cost-effective counter.

Question 9

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Baneling - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #2)

Answer 9

Marauder (Terran)

Question 10

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Baneling - Why is it weak to the Marauder?

Answer 10

Reason: Ranged Durability & Slow. Marauders can kill Banelings from a distance before they connect, and Concussive Shells slow any escorting Zerglings.

Question 11

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Baneling - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #3)

Answer 11

Widow Mine (Terran)

Question 12

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Baneling - Why is it weak to the Widow Mine?

Answer 12

Reason: Resource Inefficiency & AoE. A single Widow Mine shot can detonate an entire pack of Banelings, trading one cheap unit for many of yours.

Question 13

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Roach - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #1)

Answer 13

Immortal (Protoss)

Question 14

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Roach - Why is it weak to the Immortal?

Answer 14

Reason: Hard Counter (Bonus vs. Armored). Immortals are designed to kill armored units. They shred Roaches with their bonus damage while their Barrier negates the Roach’s initial attacks.

Question 15

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Roach - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #2)

Answer 15

Marauder (Terran)

Question 16

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Roach - Why is it weak to the Marauder?

Answer 16

Reason: Bonus vs. Armored & Slow. Marauders deal bonus damage to Roaches and their slow effect makes it impossible for Roaches to retreat or kite effectively.

Question 17

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Roach - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #3)

Answer 17

Mutalisk (Zerg)

Question 18

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Roach - Why is it weak to the Mutalisk?

Answer 18

Reason: Air-to-Ground Vulnerability. Roaches cannot attack air units, leaving them helpless against the high mobility and damage of Mutalisks.

Question 19

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Roach - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #4)

Answer 19

Siege Tank (Terran)

Question 20

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Roach - Why is it weak to the Siege Tank?

Answer 20

Reason: Out-Ranged & Splash Damage. A sieged Tank massively out-ranges a Roach and its splash damage will destroy a Roach army that tries to engage head-on.

Question 21

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Queen - Is weak to what unit type? (Weakness #1)

Answer 21

Battlecruiser / Void Ray (Terran / Protoss)

Question 22

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Queen - Why is it weak to Battlecruisers / Void Rays?

Answer 22

Reason: Low DPS & Slow Speed. Queens have very low damage-per-second against high-health capital ships, and they are too slow to retreat once targeted.

Question 23

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Queen - Is weak to what unit type? (Weakness #2)

Answer 23

Hellion / Adept (Terran / Protoss)

Question 24

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Queen - Why is it weak to Hellions / Adepts?

Answer 24

Reason: Strategic Vulnerability (Immobility). While a Queen can fight these units, they are too mobile for the Queen to chase. They can bypass the Queen to attack Drones or other hatcheries, exploiting the Queen’s slow speed.

Question 25

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Hydralisk - Is weak to what abilities/units? (Weakness #1)

Answer 25

Psionic Storm / Disruptor (Protoss)

Question 26

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Hydralisk - Why is it weak to Psionic Storm / Disruptors?

Answer 26

Reason: Vulnerability to AoE. Hydralisks have low health and tend to clump together, making them extremely vulnerable to all forms of powerful splash damage.

Question 27

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Hydralisk - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #2)

Answer 27

Siege Tank (Terran)

Question 28

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Hydralisk - Why is it weak to the Siege Tank?

Answer 28

Reason: Fragility & Splash Damage. Even more so than Roaches, Hydralisks are deleted by Siege Tank splash damage due to their low health pool.

Question 29

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Hydralisk - Is weak to what units? (Weakness #3)

Answer 29

Baneling / Colossus (Zerg / Protoss)

Question 30

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Hydralisk - Why is it weak to Banelings / Colossi?

Answer 30

Reason: Bonus Damage vs. Light. Banelings deal massive damage to light units. Colossi also get bonus damage vs. light units, wiping out Hydralisk lines with their thermal lances.

Question 31

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Mutalisk - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #1)

Answer 31

Thor (Terran)

Question 32

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Mutalisk - Why is it weak to the Thor?

Answer 32

Reason: Hard Counter (AoE Air Attack). The Thor's High-Impact Payload mode deals massive splash damage in the air, allowing a few Thors to decimate an entire Mutalisk flock.

Question 33

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Mutalisk - Is weak to what unit? (Weakness #2)

Answer 33

Phoenix (Protoss)

Question 34

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Mutalisk - Why is it weak to the Phoenix?

Answer 34

Reason: Bonus vs. Light & Mobility. Phoenixes are faster than Mutalisks and deal bonus damage to light units, allowing them to win a direct air-to-air fight.

Question 35

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Mutalisk - Is weak to what units? (Weakness #3)

Answer 35

Archon / Infestor (Protoss / Zerg)

Question 36

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Mutalisk - Why is it weak to Archons / Infestors?

Answer 36

Reason: Vulnerability to AoE. Mutalisks must stack to be effective, making them a perfect target for an Archon's splash damage or an Infestor's Fungal Growth.
