I think hte Magic box is overrated. Roaches infestors and Lings are the way to go. Infestors nullify SCV repair, roaches/lings/blings are the obvious ground army. I can't wait to see your Zerg in 6 months and I hope you play it permanently. By the way I fixed your wording lol. Neglect means to ignore or disregard. Negate means to nullify, make less/none of. | ||

It's not something that necessarily scales well into late game due to tanks & larger army sizes crowding out the infestors, but by then you have plenty of ways to deal with thors (ultras, upgraded roaches/lings, broodlords). It can also have a FG like effect because the NPed Thors deny space in your enemy's concave. If you go pit out of lair and scout the Thors in time to have NP researched you just CRUSH the first or second Thor push so bad that it's almost gg right there. | ||

Honestly, if the game goes into very very late game and they are keeping up with thors, I will make sure I have it. But it comes so late that in almost all of my games I see myself not getting it. | ||

The energy upgrade is needed so NP has to come after that. Honestly, if the game goes into very very late game and they are keeping up with thors, I will make sure I have it. But it comes so late that in almost all of my games I see myself not getting it. It depends on your build. In ZvT I open with a pretty standard lair timing (about the time it takes to make 2 queens from a hatchery) and right at lair I go pit->energy upgrade->infestors at 40% energy upgrade done (so they pop out with 75 energy). Really there's nothing stopping me from getting NP right after that, and I will if I see heavy mech coming. Yeah it's still kinda a long time (50+80+110), but it's not super late or anything. I'd need more testing on the exact timing, but I think if he pushes with anything more than a single Thor I will have NP up in time. It's a shame you can't burrow cast NP anymore because that also made it useful vs tanks & ravens. It's low army sizes when you want NP. Take an army that's 12 marines and 1 Thor + 4 scvs (made up numbers, but it's about what you might see on an early thor push). With 1 NP you take 10 population, almost 50% of the army, out of the picture and a much higher % of the enemy's health and resource investment. Also early pushes will resolve quicker so you have more time to dmg the NPed unit before the NP wears off. | ||
