Best Big Boys Bout #4 Zagara | Starcraft II: Co-Op

Starcraft II Co-Op Solo Mission: Mist Opportunities
Giant bruisers on the ground are fun units to have on the field. Fifteen of the co-op commanders have variations of ground massive units. But which one of them has the best one?
I devised a setup to compare their performance against each other using a solo on Mist Opportunities. I will be comparing their kill ratio, total damage ratio, their survivability, and their popularity with people.
We have Zagara next with Aberrations that spawn banelings upon death and provide armor buffs to friendly units. Zagara personally leads her army on the field and provides Mass Frenzy.

Aberrations are really, really powerful, but they’re meant to be expendable, which means their unit retention statistics are going to suffer. Please remember to include baneling and BANELING SPAWN damage into this, though, as one of the primary functions of aberrations is to deliver a baneling payload for a cheap price. They are much, MUCH more powerful than people give them credit for, and they have been an mvp in the HotS campaign. Also, something you could’ve done is walk the aberrations OVER the enemy for more dps density. It serves a double purpose of letting more abbs attack and allowing banelings to drop right on top of the enemy when the abbs die.

Aberrations are best if you don't attackmove with them. You walk over their army and stop. That way more aberrations are attacking and they are in the middle of the enemy army when they die making the banes very effective. I also never retreat aberrations, cause I want them to die for more baneling damage. They are also very cheap. Even when being this reckless I tend to have money leftover. So in Zagara style; aberrations need to be massed and controlled like zerglings (move halfway past army then attack) and be treated as suicidal units.

People being mean to you about your skills makes me mad, legit

[@SIMULACRA37]

Don't forget to count the banelings as part of the aberrations. (Not baneling spawn)

[@BladeWinters]

He says massive units like we would be surprised

[@FLUX.2226]

My guess before watching the video: I don't think aberrations will compare well in the final statistics, since the criteria don't favor (semi-)expendable units that can't attack air but are very cost effective, and a good portion of their strength comes from synergy with zerglings. After watching: Yeah, as expected, oof. But I'd count baneling damage towards aberration damage, in my opinion it's like an on-death explosion effect, the banelings are just the delivery. And if in doubt, let them have the baneling damage as a scrap of comfort, the statistics are unfavorable enough for the poor aberrations already lol

I like how you explain small details such as how you micro. You mentioned how would it be if Zagara had 120 supply cap and I think after getting 10K, you can ditch all your drones and the Queen. That would open up a lot of supply for this prestige which after a while, doesn't really need resources.

[@romanbykov5922]

banelings are definitely part of abberations

[@ericwolf9664]

If the mutators are not eco friendly i'll play with this prestige because i'm always floating rediculous amounts of resources with a halfway competent teammate. One temple of the past i got up to 22k banked...

[@1q34w]

If you counted broodlings fir kerrigan you should count banelings here.

[@1q34w]

If aberrations and archons are considered big boys, then p1 firebats should be too.

[@FLUX.2226]

Firebats aren't massive units though

[@ericwolf9664]

Like flux here and ctg have said episode 1 this series is entirely dedicated to ground based massive units. In no small part to the variety and how Iconic they are. Now to check how long till infinite bruta's

[@sandorbaranyi3390]

I did not think abberations were classified as big. Though I'm sure they will fall apart cause damage is not that great in a big fight. Abberations (in my experience) are the best with a little zergling support cause abberations tank lings eat the ground.

[@ThisIsntAYoutuber]

Aberrations outdamage ultralisks supply for supply against single targets. That might not be noticeable vs attack waves, but when you’re up against void shards and other huge objectives, this will matter. This is especially amplified when Zagara used Mass Frenzy.

[@sandorbaranyi3390]

@@ThisIsntAKZbinr What about the cone of the ultra? That does AOE. I know it doesn't matter against a single target but against group of enemies are great.

[@ThisIsntAYoutuber]

@@sandorbaranyi3390 Abbs can walk over the enemy, though CtG didn’t showcase this. This helps immensely since that means more aberrations can hit things while Ultras bodyblock each other. If they burrow charge, they lose out on splash damage from autoattacks.
