Your colossi melt hydras, your void rays with colossi/stalkers do pretty well against roaches. You'll be ready for the transition to roaches and corruptors very well. You're not dedicating yourself too much to colossi or void rays, just 3-5 of each and you're going with gateway units for the bulk of your army. And Zelniq, msg me next time you see me on and we'll try it out  | ||

Edit: How early do you start saving Chronoboost? When the Cyber Core finishes or what? | ||

Both force a hydralisk midgame, but void rays still allow them to get mutas while having a decent phoenix mass (6-7) absolutely shuts down that option. Phoenixes also help a ton more in fending off the initial hydra push since 5 phoenixes one-round a hydralisk, so if you have 7 of them hydras die just about as fast as you can g-click them. if u go phoenixes how r u going to defend against roaches or zerglings.... early game. | ||

Speed allows them to outrun hydras and their harass potential skyrockets. http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Plexa/sc2_reps/VR_Harass.sc2replay Here's a rather poor example, but it was the first one that I found! with "a lot" of VRs, i would like to skip wrap and get +1 air fast =)... more pimp to play it that way =)) | ||

But I also feel that the idra build (whore drones) only works for him, and Z is supposed to be played with aggression/harass while slowly building econ. Drone whoring is I feel unnecessary and dangerous after a certain point. | ||

Drone whoring is I feel unnecessary and dangerous after a certain point. anxiously awaiting: the monkxly build. aka 4 hatch hydra into hydra guardian SCBW ZvT. on topic: i'm curious when the observer timing is in this build, as it could potentially be important dealing with annoying creep tumours and/or burrowed roaches. | ||
