Their status as infantry is actually helpful to counters, i.e., they can be rapidly trashed by basic infantry and buggy/rhino when you're on defense.
The practice of rushing them with two 10-tib units, like basic infantry, is time-proven for a reason. 20 tib to erase a 30 tib unit = relatively cost effective. They key is to follow up rapidly with a Buggy/Rhino/Talon/Venom or some other anti-inf unit to hold the point and take out follow-up scarabs.
Thanks for the suggestion.i saw the rifleman unit suggestion on reddit as a counter, but my issue is If one unit specifically then dictates that I have to have one specific counter that destroys the whole flexibility of the game. I don’t know about the rhino. But what also irritates me is that one scarab can take out a buggy. That’s crazy. If they want to keep it as two infantry to take out one scarab fine. But then it should be two scarab to a vehicle. And to rule out the infantry thing scarab/chem buggy combo is a huge pain.
