Baneling Bunker Busting

How to use your Banelings to bust through those pesky Terran bunkers and blockades. Banelings are new in StarCraft 2 and give Zerg players a great ability to break through blockades.

Difficulty Rank:

3/5


When to Use:		Featured Units:
Early or mid-game when your opponent has a supply depot or depots blocking entrance to their base.

[What to do]
Send in Banelings to explode the Supply depot or depots and send in your troops after them.


[Tips for Pulling This Off]
Move your Zerglings outside the opponents blockade so that they can't be seen. Quickly build Banelings a safe distance (so they won't be picked off while morphing) and then send in your Banelings to attack the blockade with your Zerglings coming in right behind them. use your Zerglings to surround whatever troops remain.


Good vs. These Races / Strategies:		Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is great vs. a Terran blockade early in the game. It will quickly destroy their Supply Depot allowing your troops to run in behind the Banelings with a clear path to the enemies army and rest of the base.		This is bad if your opponents blockade is several layers of buildings thick or is then backed by a blockade of armored units who your troops don't match up well vs.

What to do in Success:		What to do in Failure:
Push into the opponents base with your Zerglings or other troops and after you've dispatched their troops move on to the worker line quickly. Continue to build troops at your base and bring reinforcements over as quickly as possible (given you are winning the fight)		If you fail to explode the blockade but are really close you can try to finish the job with Zerglings/Roaches. If not you will likely need to not attack. If you destroyed the blockade but couldn't push in you should rebuild unless you have reinforcements there immediately as your opponent will likely rebuild.
