I guess this build doesn't work because it's so slow and Z will have like 36 Hydras vs 15 speedlots and 2 archons, which just gets crushed. After he defeats the attack he can pump pure drones, expand again, and be way ahead. It can be used to secure a third base, but the Z's army is strong enough to still beat this straight-up, and when they add mutas or even Lurkers, it's going to be difficult.

Is there a chance anyone has a demo rep of the adjusted build please. Like Shikyo said, hydra numbers always seem to be superior. I found 3 hat hydra to be extremely difficult to handle.


3 hatch hydra should be easy to handle. You should be able to scout his ridiculous build. (I didn't know people still did 3 hatch hydra?...)

All you need is a couple extra cannons and get your zealot speed and +1 attack fast. If you stop the initial hydra push its typically GG. I guess this would qualify as an all-inish type of gameplay.

and besides 3 hatch hydra probably means he may or may not have teched lair first. In the case that he didn't tech lair you could get away with sair DT.

I've mass ZvP'd over the last few days with my C friends.

And I've lost almost every game to this, or something earlier.

For those of you who are having trouble with 5 hatchery macro, just attack sooner with less zealots or 1 less archon or even just threaten with it. It's very annoying for zerg to have to sunken up uselessly. Also, i've NEVER had enough hydras in time to deal with the attack. Will upload replays if you guys want, though I'm not quite sure which ones it is.

3 hat hydra is pretty much all-in, and you can win pretty easily as long as you don't have any probe losses. this involves slowing down your tech a huge amount, and building enough cannons behind your first few.

[TvP] The Art of FD ver.2

someone do eetttttt pleaseeee

ok
"make a fighting force that is large enough to delay your expo but too small to do any serious damage to the protoss, and also leaves you impotent vs tech and shuttle builds. continue as normal from there, if you somehow manage to not die"
DONT USE FD


This. im a completely newbie but every time my T opponent goes for FD I sigh for relief, easily defend with my 3-4 ranged goons, and then whatever mid game move I had planned (either fast exp, reaver drop, dt drop) goes about unhindered

one question I had about this build: When to start +1 weapon?

do you do it as your citadel is warping in? or with your first 100 gas? when?

edit: nm found it, it's after citadel
