Inter-racial strategies

[Shadow Archon]

What strategies are the best to use between two different races? So far, my favorites are M+M(Medivac Dropship+Mutalisk) and Vortex Nukes. Anyone try Mothership cloaking banelings, Roach+Zealots, and Hellion+Force field?

Do splash effects that don't damage your own units damage ally units? (like lurker in BW)

I ask because that might limit the effectiveness of, say, collossus+lings or hellion+zealots

I don't think they damage your units and your ally's.

I'm sure you've all seen the Vortex+Nuke video. Vortex+banelings might be fun too, versus some some "light" type armies. Something like the new planet cracker xD

Otherwise, I've been loving Worm+Scan for INSANE mobility (although the worms been nerfed in the last patch).

Edit: Just read the OP again... looks like I started typing too quickly^^
I think marines+roaches also work just fine in 2v2.


I'm not sure I understand why hellion+forcefield is a good idea though? It doesn't really help the units line up.

No, its used to try and make a bottle of forcefields getting rid of the enemy's chance to escape. Like a large force of Zerglings, workers, and the such. This can be used with any unit, but I thought mainly of Hellions.

Not really a strategy but something that is fun is Neural Parasiting one of your allies workers and building a command center/nexus

[Pandonetho]

Yeah. but that's totally pointless now because now you use a universal food limit which is 200 no matter how many different races you are in control of.

Void Rays and Point Defence Drones

Deadliest tactic so far in my opinion...

Roaches + anything.

I mean it!

Immortal+siege tank is one hell of an anti ground army and dose very well against buildings too.
