+ Show Spoiler + I actually thought about it ... The only evolutions i really "need" are: Ling (usually getting multi+insta spawn) Roach (roachling spawn) Hydras are not really needed but i like the long range single target lurkers in a few missions Banelings .. Well I like the combination of kerrigans baneling spawn skill but i guess i could skip them and maybe use the heal skill of her instead or just live with the fact that they are worse? Then again kerrigans solo potential would be greatly hinderd  Mutalisk - Useless upgrade imo Swarmhost - never built a single one Ultralisk - well it takes alot of time to get them all :/ As for kerrigan skills i am currently also debating my build there. I enjoy crushing grip and chain reaction especially combined with infestes broodlings they absolutly wreck everything. Spawn Banelings absolutly tears through buildings and makes her a really strong one man army. Use banes to kill bunkers use grip to kill tanks / colossi etc kill rest with chain reaction which then spawns lots of banelings. Twin drones is basicly a must in most mission as it speeds up the army building phase by alot and saves supply in the end game. Now as for the final skill.. I havent found great use in the leviathan yet however drop pods are really useful in overwhelming bases and armageddon might have its use in a few missions. I also prefer ling respawn over overlord supply but that might change. As for armys i use mostly roach hydra queen compositions with ling reinforcements and kerrigan leading the charge landing her "snipes" everywhere. Not sure if anyonr cares but feedback would be appreciated  | ||

Also why are you even doing the swarm host and ultra evolutions? Pretty sure they don't gain enough time to merit doing them. And if you do Dominion space missions before you do the Stukov missions then you don't have infestors available for the rescue mission. Having infestors means you can just perma neural parasite tanks and thors and plow through the level faster. Yea my question was phrased poorly, I meant do you have to do all of the evolution missions for the run, which i didnt think was the case. | ||

I don't know if it would help that much because as long as you keep up with building overlords the instant morph is kind of useless so only the increased supply has an effect. Equally though I doubt the decreased drone supply would have a massive impact because I can't think of any missions where you would want to be hanging around till you hit max supply. I'd think setting up eco in half the time and half the larva would be more beneficial speed wise than overlords that give more supply but you would need to test it to be sure. | ||

Overlord vs twin drones seems extremely favored to twin drones, assuming you don't supply block yourself if i recall correctly. It only gives 50% increased supply right? So every overlord gives 150 minerals worth, saving 50 minerals, and for every drone you make, you also save 50 minerals, but seeing as you build a lot more drones than overlords, then there is the added benefit of getting economy up faster, which is huge, and you also save some supply which means you will have to build less overlords. | ||

If you use that and the -20% cooldown skill on Kerrigan you can have a permanent Leviathan on the field. The Q ability on the leviathan hits almost twice as hard as Kinetic Blast and the thing tears anything up that gets near it with normal damage. The whole Kerrigan one man army thing becomes stupid when she has a Leviathan floating behind her the entire time as well. Yes you can summon a drop pod every now and then but most of the time those units are going to die long before the Leviathan will and do less damage over time. I'm wondering if you will actually have the time to get enough bonus objectives to actually hit level 60. Because its only going to be used in the last missions it might not be worth the extra time to do the bonus objectives. | ||

I was playing around with the final mission NOT having the Leviathan or any of the level 60 unlocks and it takes so long that it's probably worth it on that alone. | ||

Honestly I think people either hear the goal and think its a per day goal instead of total. That or the community is growing in leaps and bounds and people dont realize just how many people may be watching at any given point and low ball the goal as a result | ||
