Yeah, I had to resort to this as well. Much slower than the methods available in hots, but those cause too much wandering in lotv. :/ | ||

It is, without a doubt, the most controlled and secure way of doing it, and with a little practice it can be done in less than a second for each queen | ||

I'm using the old idra method with each queen on its own hotkey. It feels way better to me than using cameras and having to box. | ||

Killing him first sounds good but is quite difficult on some maps and also depends on when you scout his build. Quick hive tech is key, especially adrenalin zerglings and vipers. You need zerglings to deny expansions and counterattack when he moves out. This way you can delay, until you have vipers, upgraded curroptors and maybe mass spores. | ||

You use camera location hotkeys to swap between bases while quickly boxing and injecting with the queen on the hatchery | ||

How do you handle inject in the late game with 4 or 5 hatches? Or do you just inject the first few | ||

Extremely frustrated, the Phoenix can pretty much always do guarenteed damage even with 3 spores down and Hydralisks are of course...light and massacred by the double shot. Best way is to go corruptors imo. You can also go infestors, but corruptors you can piss on their nexus  . | ||

Should you even sacrifice economy for the spores since they don't really do much against them anyways? | ||

When it's 4 phoenix and they tank a few shots while killing some drones, nothing you can do to prevent it that would make sense. Overlord wise, make sure you have them all by spores and you shouldn't lose that many while waiting. I don't recommend going Hydra's, they are just shit in that situation as phoenix can lift and kill them. You can do it, but it's not a good option imo. Corruptors are the best bet, but you can do infestors as well. Those are the best ways to combat phoenix (with 2 spores per mineral line if 4 phoenix, if more make 3). | ||

Or do you just inject the first few I go up to 5 base no problems; I could go up to ten theoretically but it isn't worth it for time efficiency or usage. Going higher then five bases for inject locations doesn't make sense since (IMO) it is too far away from your main base and too easy to snipe. Instead you are better having macro hatches next to your other hatches with their own queens. In which case you do not need a new camera location I use f1- f5 for my camera locations and use them for injecting. | ||
