UNITS
ULTRALISK
Previous Zerg Unit: Nydus Worm
Next Zerg Unit: Brood Lord
UNITS
ULTRALISKBearing little resemblance to the docile Brontoliths
from which they were evolved, Ultralisks are the most powerful of
the Zerg ground forces. They serve as the backbone of the Swarms
armies and are as dangerous as any armored vehicle. These massive
monstrosities are used as living battering rams against their
enemies. Their large bone-like scythes allow them to tear through
most known substances with ease. The Ultralisks genetic material
has been subjected to countless tests and experiments, and only the
final viable code is used by Zerg Larvae to morph into new
Ultralisks.

Ultralisk - Game - StarCraft II
GENERAL STRATEGY
Superior ground-attacking melee unit. Can deliver area of effect
ground attacks against multiple targets. Extremely potent against
basic combat units (Zealots, Marines, Zerglings). High armor and
hit points. Can increase armor with Chitinous Plating upgrade. Can
burrow with Burrow upgrade. Massive units such as the Ultralisk has
have the ability to break Force Fields. Combo this ability with
units that are normally weak vs. Force Fields such as Zerglings.
Utralisks are immune to stuns and mind control.
STRONG AGAINST
Marauder
Roach
Stalker
WEAK AGAINST
Banshee
Mutalisk
Void Ray
COUNTERMEASURES
VS
Terran
Anti-ground air units like Banshees and Battlecruisers can do
immense damage to Ultralisks while completely avoiding their
attacks. Spreading out ground infantry units can help minimize
damage from Ultralisks cleave attacks Anti-armored ground units
like Marauders can also crack through Ultralisks reinforced
carapaces as long as they can keep the Ultralisk at range by kiting
it with Stimpacks movement speed increase. Thors 250mm Strike
Cannons ability can kill an Ultralisk in one shot. Siege tanks
Tanks can focus down Ultralisks while also doing damage to other
Zerg units nearby.
VS
Zerg
Air-to-ground units, like Mutalisks and Brood Lords, can damage
Ultralisks without risking any retribution. Hydralisks can attack
Ultralisks at range while spreading out to avoid the cleave
attack.

VS
Protoss
Stalkers and Immortals are effective counters against
Ultralisks. They deal extensive damage, and benefit from
exceptional mobility (in the Stalkers case) or armor (in the
Immortals case). As mentioned above, spreading out ground infantry
units can help minimize damage from Ultralisks cleave attacks.
Flying units, such as Void Rays, Carriers and even Motherships, can
perform extremely effectively against Ultralisks, who wont be able
to reach them and will suffer from their attacks.

honestly, from the standpoint of an all-race-player i think
ultralisks are U.P. they get mowed down so quick that i think the
price equivalent in zerglings is better!

stalkers are not the counter to ultralisks unless you want to
counter the ultralisk's hunger problem

Hmm strong against marauders... I kited ultras so hard with
marauders one time I got swore at by the Zerg. True story. Give
them a 200m 200g speed upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea. When Zerg
players have that much resource, they deserve to win.

@Koan: I don't need Marauders I got tanks, Thors and
Banshees.

This thing got more upgraded armor than even Battlecruisers due
to that extra 2 armor bonus from that Cavern.

mouse over the two upgrades that only the ultra can get...
because it can apearently get zerg flyer attack level 3, and.....
an upgrade upgrade writen in code?

A nice addition to the Ultralisk would simply be the ability to
push enemy units out of the way. The same way they can walk through
force fields, I think they should be able to walk through groups of
enemies. This would be useful for two reasons, a) it could split up
enemy groupings, giving the zerg a change to pick off smaller
groupings and give lings a better surround, and b) it would give
the ultra's an better chance of making good use of their splash
damage.

@CloudS: they do do that already, but only if the units are not
being given commands, although they got that speed buff, they're
still pretty slow

Ultras need a serious buff.

2/2/11 12:57 AM
@Swig: They seriously do. They are only good against Terran mech
and a fungal growth heavy zerg (both of which are very rare in
their respective matchups)

One of those units that I assumed was going to be totally
awesome when I first got the game. Tried them three times without
getting one close enough to do its attack animation...
yeah, this guy "the backbone of the Swarms armies and are as
dangerous as any armored vehicle."

@Fergilicious: oh yes, and while we are at that, we can make the

Thors are op? Really? Thors are crap these days. They were meant
to counter light air units to a good extent, but with the magic box
it's impossible. Sure, they're good against other high tier
(ground) units, but for the most part they're pretty bad.

@SKTroop: tehy werent meant for countering air units, that was a
given thing to them to make them seem more.... BIG BAD ASS YEA!
they were meant to be ur big bad killing machine, isnt it 30 dmg?

armored....yea that sucks...

1/14/11 12:58 AM
I realize that everybody says thor wins vs ultra, one of the
points of an ultra is SPLASH damage. Anyway, the thor costs way
more recources. (duh)
