The mutalisks kill off any drop attempt, Muta ling bane crushes this comp in big engagements. Before you know it, ultralisks are out and you are ready to go for the kill. | ||

So far, from my experiences, hellbats are able to tank pretty well the banelings, (one hellbat can take 3 banes hits ?) and lings just got crushed... as do mutalisks | ||

Alternatively, a Roach heavy style with Armor upgrades should be fine against that type of comp, with some Ling and/or Hydra support moving into the midgame. | ||

I'm master on eu server . If you're asking whether you can deal with a hellbat composition with just pure zerglings, you can't. If you scout hellbats you should try to mix roaches and perhaps banelings into your composition. | ||

For now I am trying 10 pool, 12 overlord, (1x extractor trick) 14 - 3xlings, 17 - queen (1x extractor trick) and later on 2 base - muta/swarm hosts... Any suggestions, comments, better BO's ? It depends what matchup you are doing this build on. 10pools against terran and protoss are generally shit as there is a high potential that they will scout you before lings can come out and will be able to wall off. 10pools are really only good in zvz when the zerg goes hatch first and you're able to force a cancel on the hatchery. 10pools are pretty gimmicky, it is better to play more macro oriented and mix in a 10 pool now and again but 10 pooling should not be your standard opener. | ||

If you go hatch first against a 10 pool, you want to pull around 8-10 drones and kite the zerglings until you're able to get your own lings out. It is VERY important that you minimize drone losses so you must concentrate on microing. Even if you're able to save the hatchery, if you lose more than 4-5 drones you will probably be behind as most zergs that 10 pool follow up with speed ling bane all ins and you won't have enough eco to defend. | ||

This helps to give you the edge in defense. if you scout the proxy rax, you should try to put down your pool as soon as possible and get your gas at 17 supply and get zergling speed. The reaper will get to your base before your lings and queens are out so you need to micro your drones as best as possible which means you want to get around 4-5 drones and attack the reaper once it arrives to your main. Micro back the wounded drones by using the mineral walk trick. If one of your drones is about to die and you feel like you don't have the time to mirco it away, you can just make a spine or another extractor then cancel these once the reaper target fires another drone. Make around 8-10 lings and two queens to defend. Don't be worried if the terran is able to get a bunker up. Reapers cant kill buildings so it is not a problem. Just use all your lings and both queens to kill the bunker. Once the bunker is killed, you are free to drone and play a normal game. | ||

You just have to do significant damage in the mid game so the protoss cannot generate a four base economy to get that army. If you're terran, just do what you would do against any protoss composition, mass drop play as skytoss is pretty immobile. If drop play doesn't work, you want to get a mass viking ghost medivac composition. | ||

A Corruptor/Muta ball can generally outtrade anything that Skytoss can throw at you, Muta heavy if they're focusing on Voids, Corruptor heavy if else. With that, Roach/Ling can clean up any ground force since they'll be skimping on Immortals or Collosi. Alternatively, a standard Roach/Hydra/Corruptor army should make short work of it. Either way, if they're turtling hard and rushing towards air units, mass expanding with Queens and Spores should leave you in a better position late game. | ||

Its not particularly Cost efficient but Ultralisks come really shortly afterwards. So the Terran has the same army that just died the second time around and you have one a lot stronger. Regardless of your thoughts about marines vs muta and zergling vs hellbats, ultralisks will shred them. | ||

Recently on my ladder I seem to only be matched up against other Zerg players. In pro games, most Zergs seem to be able to get away with a 15 hatch. Whenever I try to 15 hatch in ZvZ it seems that my fellow Zerg opponent will always be doing an 8/10/11 Pool, and I find it near impossible to defend. The same goes vice versa, when I 14/14 vs a 15 hatch he seems to be able to defend with relative ease. I feel that part of the problem is the fact that I can never scout early enough with my overlords (drone scouting is out of the question, I would lose too much income). I can therefore never see such rush coming, or such greedy play being done. I am looking for a build order that could help me deal with this. My 14/14 had never failed me at punishing fellow Zergs for their greedy builds in lower leagues, but it seems to fall way short in Plat/Dia. Thanks in advance. | ||

You need swarmhost/hydra/ultra/viper or you will never have a chance. The swarmhost/ultra tank the damage from splash and will kill colo/templar where the hydra/viper can abduct and kill the sky units or the colo then sky units. I have only lost to mass air + templar once, and I played like an idiot to lose it to. | ||

If it's pure mech like that, Swarm Hosts with Queen support can work well to wear it down as well, but Muta/Ling should work very well against that comp. | ||
