[ZVP] What to do against proxy immo with battery

I lost every single game against this overpowered strategy because im very bad to defend this- level is 4k mmr- the toss deny my natural with photons then he rush robotic facility and go in my main with 1 or two immo i have nothing to defend this someone can help me to defend this proxy allin? Usually I can find a solution by myself but im desesperate on this…
Once I tried to rush roaches and another time muta but I lost every time and i was frustrated its hard to say GG after this kind of allin…

I believe you may have meant ZvP in the title. :slight_smile:

I’d suggest using queens and ravagers (and spines + lings if you have the cash). But unfortunately for the Z it is a lot more micro intensive than the P.

If the P is using prism for immo micro, then you need to target the prism as much as possible. A spore can work wonders in zoning for a while too.

If the P is not using prism, then queens, lings, ravagers will make quick work of an immo, battery, cannon combo.

The key here is that you need to be on point with your injects. Otherwise, don’t be afraid to put down a macro hatch in your base even because you need the additional larva. Remember that they are running on a limit in terms of how much energy the battery has. The idea is to wear him out fast enough so that you don’t lose out to the energy the battery recovers. As long as you can do that, then what is left are just cannons that cannot kill a ling ravager combo fast enough.

You have right Im out of larva and yes his goal is to use prism harassment with two immo so my few roaches ravagers died pretty quickly.
I would appreciate if someone can share a replay of the perfect reaction to this :slight_smile:

Might be a bit difficult to find right now because at the pro level of game play for current meta, it is rather rare. This strategy is quite a last season one if you asked me. In addition, the matches are not named after the strategies being used but the people who are playing.

The only recent one that I have come across would be this match (starting 16:00):

Omg my first win against this tonight,

thanks for your advices it was very hard…

On drop SC my replay’s code is 16491262 spines queens speedlings to win time until one base Muta :rofl: not the better way but it worked this time

I recently made a guide catered to lower level players on how to beat cannon rush. Hopefully this will help! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eiq9nmxLoRo
