Baneling Burrowed Splash

How to use your Banelings to make sure your opponents army doesn't know what hit them. Banelings in StarCraft 2 can also burrow and then burst while burrowed to deal significant damage to your opponents' troops.

Difficulty Rank:

4/5


When to Use:		Featured Units:
Use this when your opponent is likely to push on your base or a certain area on the map and you can surprise them with burrowed Banelings.

[What to do]
Explode your Banelings under your opponents approaching army and then quickly attack them with any troops you have.


[Tips for Pulling This Off]
Find a narrow corridor into your base and burrow your Banelings at that point. You can also burrow them outside your opponents base and try to draw them out.


Good vs. These Races / Strategies:		Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is good vs. any kind of light troop army. IE Zealots, Marines, Sentries, Zerglings, Hydralisks. It also works effectively vs. clumped units of almost any type.		This is bad if your opponent goes air or does not walk over your Banelings. You will need to re-evaluate what to do with your army in that case.

What to do in Success:		What to do in Failure:
In success you will want to move your troops out to quickly attack the weakened army and potentially push on the opponents base.		If you fail by not killing many units or by not exploding see if you can have the Banelings hit the army from the back 'pincering' them or if your units will be enough to destroy the enemies weakened army.
