What are all the counters to Zone troopers/Cyborgs?

Aside from these:

1: Kill enemy economy (sometimes you fail to do this, and failing the game because of this everytime is harsh)

2: Flame/Chock troopers (cost 40) Best answer?

-

3: Flame tanks/heavily microed Disruptor tanks (110/120) (Not really cost effective hard counter)

4: Catalyst Missile/Ion Cannon (90/150) (Not really cost effective hard counter)

Militants fail, cost effectively we can't have 120 worth of cost militants to overpower a single zone trooper (I still think zones would win versus 12 militants).

I tried snipers, 2 Sniper squads still can't kill a zone trooper fast enough, matter of fact it seems to auto-heal faster then 1 sniper do DPS.

Any air fails. They fall down like a *... in the wind.

    Strange but true. 2 squads kill the first member decently fast which cuts the ROF in half, and then the other squad mops up. Levels pending, ofc.

    Zone/cyborgs aren't strong by themselves, but they are gooooood protector. I still have nightmare of zone+distruptor/juggernaut combos

    I guess what I really was struggling is the combos actually.

    If I cut the enemy economy down and he only has 2-3 zones out, then it's easily countered with flames.

    However 1 wolverine + those 3 zones are a different story. Wolverine kills unlimited amounts of flames.

    Which makes me think if the opponent gets the combo going it's GG. So only option is to rush or cut his economy.

    yea, I can understand that. Problem is the solution isn't pretty. Either:

    1) You brought an aggro deck which has no tech, and he holds pads with the tech deck dream combo, so you lose.

    Or.

    2) Your tech deck combo wins/loses against their tech deck combo

    I suppose there is some grey area with ion cannons, jade catalyst missiles and base rush strats, but more often then not, if they get out the dream team before your 2nd nuke goes off, gg.
