Reinforcements are Endless - Even if you thin down the ranks of Grunts assisting the Overlord, they'll keep appearing out of doors on either side. However, since you can't beat them, you can use them as a continual source of Might.

This is especially useful when the Overlord starts adapting to your tricks - build up a combo on the Grunts, then unleash a special move that the Overlord is weak to when you are ready. Summon a Bodyguard - If you need help badly, or just someone to draw attention away from you, make sure to assign a Captain in your army as your personal Bodyguard. Better yet - assign someone who has specific strengths or bonuses to counter the Overlord's weaknesses.

Overlords can be sent to scout the opponent's base, but once the Cybernetics Core is built, the Overlords should be moved to a safe location to prevent it from getting sniped by a Stalker or Sentry.

Players should also watch for a Stargate. Void Rays and Phoenixes are very effective against Overlords.

When sending your Overlord to a Terran opponent's base, you have to be very careful not to let it get sniped by Marines. On most maps, the Terran player will already have Marines, so it may be better to scout with a faster Drone at 13 supply first. Since Terran players can scan your base to scout your tech, the Overlord's Generate Creep ability can be used in a discreet location in your base so that an important building like a Spire can be built underneath it, keeping the building hidden from the enemy scan.

Just be careful, as the building underneath it will start to die from lack of creep if the Overlord moves away or is killed. Overlords should be sent to the bases of the opposing Zerg player, but once the Spawning Pool completes, they should be moved to a safe location since the Queen can drive them away. Conventional ZvZ play does not use units that attack air, so Overlords can generally be spread throughout the map without fear of losing them, granting enormous map vision.

However, if the enemy makes Hydralisks or Mutalisks , this can be a liability if all the Overlords are easily killed. General Recent changes Pending changes Random page. Betting Preferences.
