Starcraft - Offensive Spider Mines
|
I admit i stole this off of starcraft.org, but it was an anonymous submission, so who cares anyway? It's a very inventive tactic, and I'm always up for trying new offensive maneuvers. Comments: Spider mine defense breaker (only with an ally) No, you did not misread, the title does indeed imply an offensive use of spider mines. It works best against zerg or protoss, but is very limited against a terran with any form of static defense. This is what you do: 1.) lay spider mines (6 would be ideal), leave a corridor through the minefield. (i.e. 3 mines per side, in a line) 2.) Unally your partner, but leave shared vision on so he can see your mines. 3.) Let your partner run a FAST unit through the corridor, and into an opponent's base. (Speed upped zealots, lings, or stimmed marines are ideal; Anabolic Ultras will do the trick in a pinch, however) 4.) Watch mines persecute the kamikaze unit and detonate in your enemy's defenses. Comments: -the most important thing is that your ally's unit is F-A-S-T. If the mines catch up, that's a definite failure. -If possible, it should also be sturdy, so it doesn't get popped before reaching the base. (ideal:BW ultras with anabolic synthesis) -of course the unit must be able to trigger the mines, so no archons, vultures or worker units. -ALWAYS look around before solving the alliance. Nothing is more embarassing than lying waste to your friend's main while executing this trick. |
