The Most Effective Zerg Strategy Against Protoss

103 17
Every species in StarCraft 2 has a plus point and exploiting the Protoss' weakness which is lack of speed can help a Zerg army conquer.
The Zerg are unique because of their swarming ability and their immense speed on ground level.
Using this to control the map is the best Zerg strategy against Protoss.
The Zergling is the best creature when it comes to swarming and attacking, their small size and fast speed is a Zerg strategy every Zerg player has to use to full effectiveness.
It is essential to have a basic number of units as the game progresses to avoid early attacks on the vital structures.
A spawning pool which allows mutation of Zerglings is important early in the game.
The Zerglings can combat early zealot attacks.
Always make sure you have a large number of drones as creating a structure involves sacrificing a drone.
Also make sure you harvest enough minerals and vespene gas as lack of resources is a major problem many players face when creating a large army.
Offense is said to be the best defence and the Zerglings are perfect for that and around 8 to 12 Zerglings are perfect to combat early attacks from zealots.
A good way to gain the upper hand is to have your Zerglings sneak into your opponent's base and begin early attack.
Now it's time to strike the enemy base, after fending early attacks a minimum of 24 or more Zerglings can swarm the Protoss base and destroy the nexus.
Defence from the Protoss can be blocked as usual by the rushing attack from all directions; this will greatly confuse the lazy zealots and destroy them.
The same applies to stalkers and sentries; the swarming technique is no match for their attacks.
In addition, don't be afraid of the Void Rays as they are sluggish and cannot charge up against low HP armies.
Now it's time to strengthen the army and expand the units.
Make sure you accumulate enough accumulate Roaches, Hydralisks and Corruptors.
Hydralisks are effective against both air and ground units and are useful against the colossus and aerial attacks.
Corruptors are airborne units with unique abilities.
Their attack does a lot of damage and releases a lot of gooey substance on aerial objects.
This is particularly helpful against void rays.
The main goal of a Zerg race is capture the map and use rushing and swarming techniques to conquer the opponent's base and central nexus.
This guide is very effective for playing StarCraft 2 as Zerg.
The main disadvantage the Protoss have is the lack of speed and as a result they expand along the map very slowly, this weakness can be exploited by the Zerg's speedlings.
Here are some general ways to win StarCraft 2 Zerg vs Protoss games: 1.
Early expansion: Zerglings accompanied by hydralisks can be used to reveal most of the map which helps in finding new mineral deposits and finding the opponent's base.
2.
Counter early attacks: Build up a sufficiently large army of Zerglings and hydralisks, and also spine crawlers and queens to stop the early zealot rushes.
Use the queen's transfusion technique to heal spine crawlers.
3.
Prevent Protoss expansion: Create a medium size army of about 24 Zerglings, and then swarm the enemy base and destroy the central nexus.
This army should also be enough to counter attacks from zealots, stalkers and sentries.
4.
Mass Build: As the game progresses make sure you build a massive army of hydralisks, roaches and mutalisks for aerial support.
5.
Mass infantry and aerial support: Make sure your army is a hybrid of ultralisks, roaches, hydralisks and infestors.
At the same time build a strong aerial defence; spawn mutalisks to counter aerial attacks.
