How do I beat terran mech with zerg? (1000 reads, 18 replies)
It seems like more and more terrans are going terran mech and I just don't know how to react to it. Like wtf am I supposed to do against his goliath tank vulture force? I tried to take more expos, switched to hydras instead of lurk/ling but he still steamrolled me. What can I do against terran mech users?

General advice: Use search function. Been discussed a number of time.

General advice 2: Go mass mutas. Harass him. When he moves out, hit his main. When he moves back, retreat. Rince and repeat. Mass expand and make mass mutas. Hit hive later than usual and stick to lair tech units longer. Keep upgrading ground attack and armor. At hive choose between ultracracrackling, guardians+cracklings, or similar combos. Whatever you prefer/the map dictates.

its a hard strat to defeat, you have to combine everything to defeat this type of shit, use defilers if you have the pleasure to reach to hive, use ultras,mutas, lings hydras , etc , everything at your disspossal, upgrade too cause you will need it and use mutas or anything to make the terran to sweat for his lack of mobility like said before and speccially pray three hail marys.

Terran Mechs problem is slow movement, so use it! Make him go back and forth - with mutas, drops, guardians, whatever

You cant win w/ hyds against masses of tanks, so i would prefer muttas. And w/ the hyds you lose one very important advantage that is all about to beat this style of playng. Mobility is key, he cant go from one end of the map to the other, and w/ your muttas you can easily. Harass as maximum as possible take the more gases as you can, you will need the gas to tech to hive and get ultralings + defilers. If you get to there without any big losses of expos and army, and you dont let him expand all over the map you should easily beat him. He would probably have few vessels, cuz of the heavy gas build he is doing. Get plague as soon as possible, and some queens w/ ensnare would be nice to slow down the retreating from the swarm units. And watch out for the spider mines ;);) If he goes bc's you have plague and hive+spire, so you can go greater spire and own his bc's.

mass hydra 2x ups does work, but if you do see mass tanks i say go around and counter while still macroing(This is when he surpises you with mass tanks)if all you see is mass gols just mass hydra him just try to buy time the good thing about playing vs mech if you hurt the unit it stays hurt its not like mm late game plague+ling/ultra/hydra guardian is pretty useless vs goliaths

Mass muts works too but if you mess up once it wont be pretty

I don`t think lings are good choice ... I got outplayed few times , even when i got some real eco advantage I did loose just because of that lings , I wouldn`t say they are the best combo vs mech.


Muta + hydra + swarm & plague is imo the best combo. Still the most important thing, as in almost all cases - your build order ^^

Mech isn`t the most cost effective terran army , but mech army is one of the strongest ones in the game so if u won`t get better maco u ll loose ^^

If you are medium/low player you should play simple ,masss hydralisks + drop.
As a Terran ,when i did metal i had a lot of troubles vs massglings + mutas only because i had to wait to have an huge amry to go out while the zerg was taking many expansions but it is not easy to do it effectively.
