Puppy is most effective against single-target-attack units that are not running away.

Puppy is therefore an awesome assault unit for quickly dealing with enemy porc!

Porc cannot run away! Porc, with two exceptions, are single target high DPS dealers! Puppy will always make cost against porc lines!

Puppy must be the best rushable anti-porc unit, good (on hold fire) for clearing out known LLT's and Defenders for Pyro razing of enemy infrastructure!

I will try this next game! You try it too! Distract enemy units with a skirmishing pyro and have puppies destroy the LLT's and defenders that are preventing pyros from moving in and destroying things! Only two to three puppies are needed to hit each!

Puppies work well in tandem with waves of dirtbags to cheaply overwhelm porc quickly!

...Puppy doesn't make cost against a Lotus on hold fire. The two Puppies required to destroy one cost more than the Lotus. (This does ignore the fact that Puppies don't always cost 50 because of goo. Even so, you're going to lose puppies to the lotus itself.)

Unless you have sick micro (which I've never managed to replicate with the lag in a real game) you'll lose three puppies to every defender, too.

Most statics have sufficient health that Puppies simply can't do very well.

Who needs puppies, when you can bury porc and facs in dirt due to the Shitbag opness? ;)

Assaults: tanky, high-dps, inaccurate
Puppy: flimsy, zero-dps, perfect accuracy

In a game long ago I had crushed a DDM with a sea of puppies.. but you need MANY of them.

I think wasting puppies to attack is just waste of metal. If you have plenty of nanos you can just fast reclaim field with them and reclaim puppies back. Now I dont know if zk has widget to area reclaim your own units but I had one.

"There is an issue here; Puppy has 0 DPS."
But we can add leveler gun to puppy. This can solve this problem.
I use them vs heavies, especially as fast response vs reapers or ravagers. They also can kill some raiders. In masses they can attack also porc but its costly deal.
So puppy is suicide unit with unique abilities.
