Mutalisk

Overview
This fast, versatile, and inexpensive Zerg flying unit is incredibly powerful in large groups, especially when supporting its Guardian and Devourer cousins in combat.

How It Has Changed
The Mutalisk remains identical, although the advent of the Devourer makes it a much more viable weapon against powerful Terran and Protoss warships when used in conjunction with its larger cousin.

Mutalisk

Recommended Uses
All-purpose offense, hit-and-run tactics, surgical strikes. Morphing into more specialized Guardians and Devourers.

Further Detail
The fast, inexpensive Mutalisk will have a more difficult time dealing with the newly enhanced Terran Goliaths and Protoss Dragoons. Terran Wraiths and Protoss Scouts, now stronger than before, will also prove more challenging to defeat. However, with the help of the new Devourer, Mutalisks are perfectly capable of crushing any other flying unit, even Terran Battlecruisers and Protoss Carriers. Because of its low cost and its powerful support strains, the Guardian and the Devourer, the Mutalisk remains arguably the single best flying unit.
