It’s in the nick of time so should I advance just east or should I do more in the south as well?
You need a diverse unit composition in order to succeed, especially against Protoss.
To paraphrase from a legend “[You’re going to need] a long range damage dealer which is the hydralisk, a tough unit that can take a few siege tank shots before going down such as the hydralisk, a fast and responsive unit that can mitigate splash damage such as the hydralisk, and lastly a cheap unit that you can make a lot of such as the hydralisk”
Add in overlord drop and your guardians and you can secure the high ground area in the east to bait out units so you can advance further, it also wouldn’t hurt to make use of some guardians and scourge (or lurkers if you are daring) if you have any extra gas.
Use the initial Guardians to clear out the Cannons and Pylons to the east and the Bunkers and Tanks that are along your path. Meanwhile, get all the upgrades for Zerglings and Hydralisks and mass them outside the Protoss base. Have all your Hatcheries set to rally to the east side of the map. As it gets closer to 20 minutes start flooding units in starting with the closest and have a couple control groups Hydralisks to focus down the bigger targets like Reavers and Carriers.
I started to prepare the finale assault now and have air units over the stasis camber. The carriers would be a hard one for me. To bad its time limit of 30 min thats not much to go on. The EUD makes some small suicide attacks on me.
Not sure if you are aware, but if you finish the mission in under 25 min, you will unlock a secret mission.
Another option that I haven’t seen anyone suggest yet is using an Overlord and Drone to build a base across the lava. Just connect the proxy to your main base with a Nydus Canal, and you can spam units across without worrying about any Terran defenses.
The downside is that you need to micro your units well to mitigate the enemy’s splash damage.
I know very well that if do this mission under 25 min l get to this extra mission for sure. I have read about the mission.
I did this mission in 26 plus some secs. I did build a hive near the Protoss base with creeps/structures and extra units. I pushed forwards and toke out the base in the end.
- Mass hydralisks.
- Win.
That said, focus on attack upgrades right away so all 3 can finish in time for your assault. Don’t bother with L 2 or 3 armor because they cost too much and won’t mean much vs scarabs and psychic storms.
You have drained your strategy into few words.
