Style Type: A Solid style in ZvP.
Skill Level: Hard
Style Pros: Solid Style, requires micro, but it is not risky. Used by a lot of players (like Idra).
Style countered by: Deathball.
Most powerful in: Late Game.
Match up: ZvP.



Basic Thought process and Tips :

• The Roaches are the meat of your army. They take all the damage. The Hydralisks deal the damage. The Corruptors protect the Hydras from the Collosi. That is all there is to it. It is a very solid style, used by a lot of the top Zerg players.

• Use Roaches to defend yourself in the early game.

• When you get lair, ADD hydras to the Roaches.

• If the Protoss is going for Collosi, get a Spire and some Corruptors.

• Try to engage with the Corruptors from a different angle whilst you engage the Protoss army with your Roaches and Hydras.

• Don’t forget to use their Corruption ability, it is very important.

• Depending on your opponents composition, adjust the Roach and Hydra numbers. For example, more Immortals - more Hydras. More Zealots - more Roaches.

• This is your endgame army. You don’t need to add anything more to the mix.

• Don’t forget to get Burrow, if you have to fight often, it will come in handy for your roaches. (Especially with the Roach Regeneration Upgrade.)



Final Words: This style of play is extremely solid and considered standard. Every Zerg player should be decent at it. It is easy to learn, but it requires a few games so that the player can get the hang of the Roach-Hydra micro.



A good opening for this style of play:

There are few zealots so mass hydras can be made

The Corruptors are hidden between the overlords and they are taking down the Collosi one at a time.
