If I was in your situation, I'd probably skip Mutalisk altogether and just go lurkling or something. If you've scouted out his base already you can also try to crush him with pure Drone drilling + Zerglings so you can bash down his Zealot wall and then continue on to kill his Dragoons with your Zerglings (Speedlings work better ofc). | ||

:/ If he's gooning 90% he won't be able to afford templars, expect reavers, and use muta clumps to pick off templars. | ||

Ramp is a different story though. imo. toss wont be able to grab temp or reaver tech before u get a 3rd gas if hes going for a sizable number of goons. Zerg players gotta know how to split their units so they dont get massively stormed to death, so just snipe the temps as best as u can with mutas. | ||

goons are always supported by reavers, and reavers are always carried in shuttles, if u can't contain a good toss, take a few scourges and try to snipe the shuttle, at the same time mass muta/ling and expand. i wouldn't attack a goon/reaver/cannon defense with only muta/ling...try ur best to contain. | ||

In the zerg vs protoss matchup, I find that dragoons are most useful when breaking contains. The gas that dragoons eat up are better spent on templars, archons, and upgrades. Simple put, the more dragoons you force your opponent to make, the less storms and archons you'll encounter. Now, from what I understand, your opponent is making dragoons at a very early stage in the game. This is a golden opportunity for you to either tech or upgrade safely while adding another hatchery (possibly as an expo). Mass speedlings are a favorable counter against early goons because goons are less easliy replacable than lings due to more costly and demanding production. Remember, you can always adapt to what your opponent does from this point; get lurkers if he decides to switch to zeals/ht/archon, and get mutas if he's going to persist in using goon/zeal. Use a 3 hatch build to open. While you're whoring lings and drones, you can slowly tech and grab expoes since you won't be dealing with high tech power from the Protoss anytime soon. You'll be ahead of your opponent, even upgrade-wise if you keep researching carapace to deal with any power-ups on your opponent's weapon upgrade. From hereon out, just steamroll him with hydras, lurkers, mutas, ultras, whatever combination of Zerg that runs like diarhea from the overmind's ass. However...I'm judging that you're around public newb level from your opening post, so I hope what I explained was helpful -_-. EDIT: And against sairs, hydras are your best friends. | ||

Hi Most of the people here has answer your question. I would liek to add that by the time he has a Sair you should have 1 to 3 hydra to keep your Ovys alive. Once your Muta come out you want to make some Scourge right away. Go to Toss's base with Muta and Scourge and kill his 1 or 2 Sair he has. ---I-Emerge | ||

if you still lose, your macro bad! MORE HYDRA LING PLZ! I'd imagine his storm will be terribly late due to all that gas usage, but still be careful as ranged dragoon is strong! Work on your flanking and remember to focus fire on the dragoon! Double upgrade hydra and speedling is must. | ||

If you're just going to describe the situation without a replay, you need to be more specific. Does "immediate" goons mean goons before expansion? When you go muta are you opening 3 hat Lair or what? If he goes sairs to counter mutalisks, is that off of 1 gas, or does he already have his expansion? Etc. | ||
