The swirling radiation around the Voidshade Hybrid has given your enemies the ability to grow into more powerful forms, as well as cause an incurable plague to spread. Only destroying the Void Slivers will stop this growing threat.
Black Death - Some enemy units carry a plague that deals damage over time and spreads to other nearby units. The plague spreads to your units when the enemy unit is killed.
Transmutation - Enemy units have a chance to transform into more powerful units whenever they deal damage.

Other Notes:
- Whenever an enemy kills one of your units, it transforms. Avoid losing ANYTHING whenever possible.
- Enemies transform into tiers based on the supply of the units they kill. An enemy that kills a Zealot (2 supply) will level two tiers.
- Enemy units, upon transforming, return to full health and energy. Make sure to focus the strong ones before they become Hybrids.
- Any enemy unit has 33% to carry black death on Brutal.
- Players units that carry this plague will lose 2% of their max HP per second on Brutal until they die.
- When any infected unit dies [player’s or Amon’s], it will spread to 3 random players’ units within 5 range.
- Stukov’s Bunkers, Karax’s Repair Beam, 100-biomass Abathur units, and being in Kerrigan’s Omega Worms all out-heal the plague.
- Stetmann’s Mecha Ultralisks with Green Zone can power through almost anything on this mutation.

Ouch…This one is going to be tough. Cannot use high hp units as they will die to plague. Cannot use disposable units as they will cause the enemy to transform into hybrids…
2 many idiots, already got 3 stukovs in a row who thought they could just build a bunch of hybrids and out dps them.
Just use zeratul cannons and tychus for this 1, or zera Zagara with pure bane/scourges. Not gonna try this on Asia no more though, need communication not brain dead randos

Do Han and Horner’s reapers and ships restore health when they’re out of combat, but have been already infected with plague? And do infected mutas have increased hp regen rate (5 + (plague’s -2) = 3) when out of combat?
Pretty sure damage taken is one of the indicators of combat in so far as the healing. Someone point out if I’m wrong though.
DUUUDES, Stetboii’s ultralisks with green zone can power through almost everything! LOOK AT THIS madness!

People are finally figuring this out?
I’d point out that this is obviously despite the fact that his ultras are STILL bugged: they don’t collect scrap parts correctly so you never get a free replacement ultra.

If anyone wants a free win seriously all you gotta do is Zeratul cannons.

Do they transform when they kill buildings? (Cannons, turrets, spore)
That’s why recommend mass cannons?
They transform when killing buildings but the projections are not only free, they are pretty strong and win against transmutation, and of course they ignore black death.
H&H’s reapers die too fast. I do not advise the commander. Even space station feeds the transmutation. I recommend a Zagara scourge cheese over Zeratul’s cannons, with an ally that can hold the fort (Swann is definitly the best & provides extra gas).
PS: Abathur does not count cause he is Abathur
This mutation shows once again ( as if we still needed more proofs) how “broken” (in the sense of too OP compared to other commanders) both Stetmann & Zeratul are.

Wow Artanis + Swann make this mutation into a freaking joke.
Just turtle up in the main base while chain spawning observers around the map and using siege mode to improve their vision. And when solar bombardment comes online just send an observer, spawn 20 Zealots and command them to attack the sliver, use solar bombardment, and repeat until you win.
Soooo easy!!!

Tbh it’s not 2 bad. Either use the op hero’s 4 this (zag/tychu/zera) or abuse OP calldowns (Artanis/Vorazun) 2 cheese it

Zera cannons and Tychus,just turtle in 1 base, tychus can clean up the first two alone while you build up your cannon army.
Steal your partners minerals and you will end up with 70+ cannon and 5 minutes left like we did
the easiest strategy for this week might be using swann + stetmann
put the stetellite around the silvers and use laser drill to attack them

Karax + Stetmann with ultras and a cannon rush… not the best strat but its not as micro intensive as the rest…
Hmm that’s pretty dang cheesy
I keep getting Stukov allies, I’m so confused. lol
EDIT ~ Just had a game where my ally was Zeratul and dropped a 350 summon the second he could, I think we had hybrids before the 2 minute mark LOL
EDIT ~ Ok got it with Stetmann + Artanis
