So one of my really good friends knows i'm obsessed with starcraft and such. He's not nearly as hardcore as me or my roommate, but he'll occasionally watch games with us and he understands certain strategies and will comment when I play like "oh you only got 1 gas are you fast expanding?" or stuff like that. basic shit.

anyway he got insanely baked the other day and really wanted to help out my zerg, which has been lacking lately. everyone talks about how zerg is underpowered and such so i've been trying to devise builds that are solid enough to repel this notion.

but no matter what I do, i havent been able to come up with a good build to make zerg a viable race

that is

until now

+ Show Spoiler [invincible build] +
[image loading]


its so simple. how had i not thought of it before???

I like how the ultras are only one food.

But seriously, there is no way you could lose with that build

Looks like a solid build. I just think it gets countered pretty hard by the 9-tripple-starport10-fusion core-BC rush.

Btw. he forgot a second overlord :/

Ultra den with no hive? One food ultras? Count me in!
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Maybe those mini-ultras from the campaign though.

Edit: By the way, fast tech ultralisk might actually be a viable counter to T's who PF their second or third now....

Those things are called pygalisks. They have 50 HP, 2 armor and deal 4 damage. I would think you'd need more than 15 of them to win a game.
