Starcraft 2 Challenges: For The Swarm Gold Guide

[stevenoverturf]

@ DonnerMalganis It's better to use the Infestor elsewhere...Either on the VRs or Col.

[stevenoverturf]

I find it easier to micro 3 ultras than over half a dozen zerglings. I like to send 3 ultras to the Coll on the first round, and 1 to the immortal with lings to tank. Makes the micro a little easier. Overall, good guide :)

Thanks, that was really helpfull, i got gold thanks to you

[veloboy1]

[Canberkification]

[wArJacky]

Thx

[JDRhoadsStudios]

Great video! Hope to see more it helped alot with my gameplay

[nikofeelan47]

With the Immortal, I brought the infestor along to take control of it and then used the zerglings to kill it.

On the very last battle with the Carriers you said to tap the 'c' key, what does that do? Didn't seem to work for me, is it supposed to spread out the fire?

[greatman3388]

@smpxix You tap the C key and then left click on a Carrier. That makes them take a % extra damage (30%, I think. I may be wrong.) When the fight starts, spam the C key and try to get each one corrupted.

Your hotkeys may be different if you have a foreign keyboard. Poke around in your control options if the C key doesn't do anything.

[greatman3388]

@greatman3388 Sorry, it's 20%, not 30%.

[smpxix]

@greatman3388 Ahh ok, thanks for the advice! Subbed =D

[smpxix]

Great vid, thanks for the advice

[bignslipery123]

thankyou!

[TomLikesGuitar]

ur ultra had 1 health left at the end of round 2, not 20...

seriously tho... how come u didn't just read the screen as you did a voiceover... you messed up a lot of trite numbers and that bothers me

[TheStarcraft2zone]

I'll be honest, try to start commentate, u have a nice voice that you can easily hear and understand. Give it a try ;))

[oGGii33]

have done all three races with 0 losses;;D

[mcconalds]

thx greatman :)

[h3l1lo0]

i find it better to spawn 8 infested terran with the infestor so that they could tank the void ray for u while ur hydras ( which are burrowed at the front and unburrow underneath them) can kill them while the void rays hit the infested rines

[DocJoze]

Thanks for the video man :D i just lost 5 units during the whole challenge!

[NamelessBlaze]

Cheers, Helped alot!

[asskicker4000]

Awesome! I just did it with 7 lost. You're very helpful! :)

[HotnessTim]

I find the most difficult parts are the ones with only ultralisks.

The roaches vs. zealots thing is almost impossible to lose if you just burrow / unburrow often.

I used half as many roaches for that. I sent the other half to help the ultralisks. That way 0 ultralisks died. Since every time you unburrow on the west of the zealots they run towards you and every time you burrow they move east, you can juggle them forever. You could kill 20 zealots using 1 roach.

[TueChristensenDK]

Good guide. Well try it now. In the second round, third lane. Your two ultralisks against the stalkers. Your surviving ultralisk has 1 hp :D

[greatman3388]

@TueChristensenDK Gotta love hero ultralisks. ;D

[LeggyOwnz]

@TueChristensenDK thats what happened to me too :D

[Michigan1985]

In the first round, do you manually select the ling being attacked against the immortal. Is there a hotkey that selects the one being attacked to make it faster to burrow?

[greatman3388]

@Michigan1985 You have to manually select it. For some reason, Fraps did not record my mouse (I wish it did.). What I did, was I would highlight all lings, and see that one is being hurt. Quickly click its portrait, and then press the hotkey (Which is R, I think.) After it burrows, select all the lings again, and repeat.

Long story short, no, you must select the one being hurt, and then burrow it.

[Glidebent]

Good video, helped me get that gold. Keep 'em coming.

[greatman3388]

I don't know why it has that black box around it. Apparently Windows Movie Maker can't even make a 720p video look normal. Next time it won't look like that.
