[quote]1) Tremor. Matching the Crab in cost, Tremor won't kill it, but it will get rid of the spire, which is what makes it so dangerous in the first place.

2) Kill the supporting cons. With the crazy regen out of the way, it becomes vulnerable to being chipped away at. I find a slamcom is pretty good at withstanding the Crab fire, and disintegrating the support cons. Cloaked riots will probably also do the trick.

3) Impaler, Raven spam. A whole bunch of these will kill it. But at 700 each for Impalers, you might be looking at 5-6000 in metal to counter what is a 1600 metal unit.

4) Freeze and destroy. Trepak recently tried this out on my Crab, widowing or emp'ing it and then rushing a mob of redbacks to kill the crab. This could work well, assuming that the Crab player doesn't have more units supporting it.

6) Lift and dump. This is pretty cool, using a Hercules to lift th enemy Crab and dump it somewhere its useless. If there's AA, however, its not going to work

and probably the best single method: 7) Krow bombardment from the top. But again, you're using a 3500 metal unit to counter a 1600 metal one.[/quote]
