Frontline anti-nukes are easily stunned by missile silo. Even Widow or air could snipe that anti-nuke at low density or inadequate protection.

Personally, I put Grizzly, Cyclops, Scorpion and Dante in the same category as they are around the same HP and fast enough to move away from the center of the blast if you can expect the target zone of the blast.

Paladins are the next step up as none of anti-heavy counters are really fitted towards killing it and Ultimatums have been nerfed to degree that they require several shots to take it down and are also too slow to hunt them down.
