EPTMass hydra and infestor with fungal spores and so on seem to drop them on their tracks, if your base isn't at edge of some platform you might want to try keep all those hydra burrowed before you pop fungal spores and try to unburrow about straight underneath them, resulting in them being pretty much taking the maximum damage and not being able to escape.

Trying to micro the mutalisks is useless since he can move while shooting and got way longer range giving him a lot of free shots if you try to do it so it is better to just stay and take the charged beam. The only cost effective zerg counter is hydralisks, if you beat em with mutalisks it is because you outmacroed him. mutas are not that bad against void rays, the problem really lies in the fact that if u build em he can come with 1 zeal 1 sentry 1 stalker and you lost.^^ | ||

If he's already in your base and charged off your Queen or something, you could have problems, but any other time, you have no excuse. | ||

With this in mind, the only times I've lost games to Void Ray pushes are when I had a 3-4 expo economy is when I A) didn't build Spores to stall, B) didn't upgrade and/or C) had comparatively poor macro, didn't micro, and didn't scout. Use your Overlords to see them coming and thus give yourself more time to anticipate the attack. Backstabbing the P is sometimes an option, if you feel you can produce more Hydras fast enough in the case it becomes a race. Remember, though: leaving any opponent alone to their own devices is a bad idea. Keeping up harassment, macroing, and forcing the P to react is probably to best way prevent Void Rays from becoming an issue in the first place. | ||

13p, 100gas speed, hatch after speed, mass ~36 ling Just power that wall down. If he's trying to do any tricky early robo or VR, simply kill him before he can get it out. Also, drone scouting as long as possible helps. Don't rely on your ovie scout. The drone scout also delays whatever he's trying to do and sometimes gets to the P base before an ovie can. | ||

If you expect to take out 8+ voids with hydras, when voids are fully charged, you're gonna lose your hydras. 8 fully charged voids will insta-gib 2 hydras every damage tick Void Rays have decresed range from 7 to 6 by a patch. | ||
