1 You've basically already figured it out man, Crabe and Fleas.

1 Fleas are the counter, one of the best. They work great on sniper/scythe but against glaives/warrior or snipers on the edge of a defense line they're just to reveal the snipers so you can keep a tab on them. 3 Fleas are the counter, one of the best.

3 Your lategame (If it's sniper it's getting into lategame) combo for Spider is basically Crabe + Fleas. Crabe 1-shots snipers, has the range to fight them, has AoE to reveal them easily and can tank them for days while armoured. You just want to keep enough fleas about that you know where his snipers are, so that you can stay stationary and armoured if the snipers are around. Sniper only has 100 range on Crabe, so you can force fire at max range to hit them with the AoE or if you know they're cloaked nearby. He will try and put his snipers on holdfire and fire them all at once the moment you move. So the climax matchup for both factories is all down to micro, timing and intel (As the climax matchup for most factories should be if designed well). 5 Your lategame (If it's sniper it's getting into lategame) combo for Spider is basically Crabe + Fleas.

5 Crabe basically crushes everything else in the cloak factory, and sniper basically 1-shots every other, expensive spider unit. You can potentially get sorrounded by Zeus but Crabe still has the edge there. 7 Crabe basically crushes everything else in the cloak factory, and sniper basically 1-shots every other, expensive spider unit.

7 By lategame you can also switch factory to something like Halberd if you want a proper hardcounter rather than a skill matchup. 9 By lategame you can also switch factory to something like Halberd or Thunderbird if you want a proper hardcounter rather than a skill matchup.
