Zerg Unit Weakness Deck 3

Question 1

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

Answer 1

Hydralisk (Zerg)

Question 2

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

Answer 2

Reason: Grounded Anti-Air Superiority. The Corruptor’s air-to-air weapon is slow and designed for armored targets. High-DPS ground units like Hydralisks will shred Corruptors quickly.

Question 3

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

Answer 3

Viking (Terran)

Question 4

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Corruptor - Why is it weak to the Viking?

Answer 4

Reason: Resource Inefficiency & Range. While Corruptors can fight Vikings, Vikings are cheaper and have slightly longer range, allowing Terran to build more and kite them effectively.

Question 5

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

Answer 5

Void Ray (Protoss)

Question 6

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Corruptor - Why is it weak to the Void Ray?

Answer 6

Reason: High DPS. A mass of Void Rays with their Prismatic Beam charged will melt Corruptors, even though Corruptors are armored. The sustained damage is too high.

Question 7

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

Answer 7

Disruptor (Protoss)

Question 8

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Lurker - Why is it weak to the Disruptor?

Answer 8

Reason: Immobility & AoE. A burrowed Lurker cannot dodge the Disruptor’s Purification Nova, which will kill it in one shot.

Question 9

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Lurker - Is weak to what units? (Weakness #2)

Answer 9

Siege Tank / Liberator (Terran)

Question 10

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Lurker - Why is it weak to Siege Tanks / Liberators?

Answer 10

Reason: Out-Ranged & Zoning. Both units can attack the Lurker from outside its attack range, forcing it to unburrow and reposition.

Question 11

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

Answer 11

Viper / Raven (Zerg / Terran)

Question 12

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Lurker - Why is it weak to Vipers / Ravens?

Answer 12

Reason: Ability Counter & Detection. A Viper can Abduct a Lurker out of its position. A Raven’s Interference Matrix can disable a Lurker’s attack, rendering it useless for a short period.

Question 13

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

Answer 13

Immortal (Protoss)

Question 14

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

Answer 14

Reason: Hard Counter (Bonus vs. Armored). An Ultralisk’s greatest strength (its 8 armor with Chitinous Plating) is useless against the Immortal, which deals massive bonus damage and shreds it in seconds.

Question 15

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

Answer 15

Ghost (Terran)

Question 16

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Ultralisk - Why is it weak to the Ghost?

Answer 16

Reason: Ability Counter (Steady Targeting). The Ghost’s snipe ability completely bypasses the Ultralisk’s armor and health, killing a 300 mineral/200 gas unit with energy.

Question 17

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

Answer 17

Liberator (Terran)

Question 18

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Ultralisk - Why is it weak to the Liberator?

Answer 18

Reason: Air-to-Ground Vulnerability & Zoning. Ultralisks cannot attack air. A well-placed group of Liberators can create a kill-zone that Ultralisks cannot pass through or attack.

Question 19

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

Answer 19

Viking (Terran)

Question 20

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Brood Lord - Why is it weak to the Viking?

Answer 20

Reason: Hard Counter (Bonus vs. Armored & Range). Vikings are the premier anti-Brood Lord unit. They are fast, have long range, and deal bonus damage to them.

Question 21

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Brood Lord - Is weak to what units? (Weakness #2)

Answer 21

Tempest / Carrier (Protoss)

Question 22

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Brood Lord - Why is it weak to Tempests / Carriers?

Answer 22

Reason: Out-Ranged / Overwhelm. Tempests have longer range and can pick Brood Lords off safely. A critical mass of Carriers can launch enough Interceptors to overwhelm the Broodlings and kill the Brood Lords.

Question 23

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

Answer 23

Viper (Zerg)

Question 24

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Brood Lord - Why is it weak to an enemy Viper?

Answer 24

Reason: Ability Counter (Abduct). The enemy Viper is the greatest threat in a late-game scenario, as it can pull your expensive Brood Lords into their anti-air one by one.

Question 25

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

Answer 25

Ghost (Terran)

Question 26

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Viper / Infestor - Why are they weak to the Ghost?

Answer 26

Reason: Ability Counter (EMP & Snipe). A Ghost's EMP Round instantly drains all energy from your spellcasters, rendering them useless. Snipe can also kill them outright.

Question 27

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

Answer 27

High Templar (Protoss)

Question 28

Zerg Unit Weaknesses - Unit: Viper / Infestor - Why are they weak to the High Templar?

Answer 28

Reason: Ability Counter (Feedback). Feedback instantly drains the caster's energy and deals damage equal to the energy drained, often killing the Viper or Infestor instantly.
