Difficulty Rank:

4/5


When to Use:		Featured Units:
Use this when your opponent has his troops in a ball or mass. Your Banelings splash damage will make quick work of them.

[What to do]
Use your Banelings in tandem with other units to attack the enemies ball. If you can have them go from multiple sides as well it will help.


[Tips for Pulling This Off]
Surprise and numbers. You need to have enough Banelings to get to the enemy and it needs to be a surprise or he will try to kite you. Also, having your Banelings come from multiple sides will help them to impact the enemy and inflict the maximum amount of damage.


Good vs. These Races / Strategies:		Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is great vs. balls of Marines and Hydralisks and somewhat for Marauders and Roaches.		This will not work well vs. late game armies, specifically heavily armored troops or if you have too few Banelings to reach the ball, as they may get killed while moving to them.

What to do in Success:		What to do in Failure:
In success you will want to push on the weakened ball and subsequently on the enemies' base.		If you fail you will need to rebuild and back-off. If none or few of your Banelings impacted the enemy army it's likely they gained an advantage through your attempt.
