Basic Zero Build Order
In Star craft 2, just as in the original Star craft as well as the Brood Wars expansion pack, the critical component for winning matches is something that is commonly called a build order. With their hive mind, the Zero’s are an alien race of insects and an opportunist’s most important player. In order to win the matches as Zero, it will be necessary for you to focus on the build order of your Zero by producing units just as fast as possible, then rushing your opponent in order to destroy their intake of resources. This article will cover a basic strategy that is based on having the simple Zerglings rush as a start, and then it will address the other components for game play.
You will want to start by making sure that you max out your drones as well as morph an overlord in order to increase the capabilities of your infantry. Build an additional three more drones, then an extractor followed by a spawning pool. You will need to continue building drones, including a Queen. With the idea being that you need to keep gaining resources exponentially.
Once you have sufficient vulpine gas, you can buy a speed upgrade for the spawning pool, providing a way to defend yourself with Spine Crawlers or Bane lings in the event of an attack. If you happen to be more familiar with items in the original Star craft, the Spine Crawlers have replaced the SC@ for a typical Zero defense for Sunken Colonies. You can experiment with the Spine Crawlers and Bane lings in order to see which you prefer. At this time, you should have a minimum of 20 drones harvesting both minerals and gas. At this time, it is a good idea for you to start sending out overlords in every direction in order to find where your enemy’s bases are, given the fact that you can not attack when they do. You will also want to put the Spawn Larva in your Hatchery to allow for Zerglings speed upgrades.
Now, the most important necessity at this time is to build your army consisting of Zerglings as well as Overlords in order to supply them. Once you have enough of these, attack your enemy, focus on your enemy’s workers (SCV for Terrain, probes for Protons, and drones for Zero.) Once you have effectively cut off all of their resources, you will be able to finish them off however you see fit.
