What do we build against tarantula

[Fadeway]

As the title says I am struggling a bit in dealing with spiders. Early we want balls or storms ofc but I find that if tarantulas are being spammed, they can press mines and then a lot of those units start to struggle.

So yeah, what do you build if the oppo makes your typical defensive line of 4+ tarantulas? Does the answer change if the tarantulas have fangs infront compared to if they have crawlers behind them?

I can think of a many options, ball+stang, vulcan with scorch, hacker.. What do you find best?

If steelballs fail then wasps are really good, the turn wasps show up tarantulas usually can't hit air and in the lategame even if the tarantula has range + AA, lvld wasps with range + elite marksmen outrange tarantulas. And If tarantula bought spiders that's a wasted upgrade against wasps + wasps can clear spiders quickly.

Then if they overleveled tarantulas you can get pot w range/energy diffraction. 1 pot with those two upgrades can kill 2 lvl 2 tarantulas with range/spiders for the about the same price every pot after that is more cost-efficient because there is no unlock cost.

forts and MP work well against them as well.
forts cause tarantulas cant really get thru their shield.
and MP cause units like tarantulas are what it counters best.
and of course you gotta get thru their chaff but theres many options to do that.

Oh yeah ball wasp sounds very good in theory, if they go stang i just armor the balls, might try that

Talking super-early game before giants even hit the field:

Sabertooths also completely stomp tarantulas. Doubleshot even more so.

Stormcallers are also super effective as well.

And also hackers are very lethal against them (any medium unit in general) for counters not mentioned yet.
