Brood Lord Base Push

How to properly push on an opponents base with your Brood Lords without risking their lives. Brood Lords are an awesome and devastating unit in StarCraft 2 that if controlled properly should have little problem pushing into an enemies base.

Difficulty Rank:

3/5


When to Use:		Featured Units:
When you have Brood Lords and you are about to attack an enemies base.

[What to do]
Leverage your Brood Lords sacrificial broodlings and their range to slowly and methodically push into your opponents base.


[Tips for Pulling This Off]
Leverage your Brood Lords' range. Slowly attack the outskirt of their base and units as losing your Broodlings costs you nothing and they will eat away at the enemies forces. Destroy all towers and land units before your Brood Lords are in range of them. Also, leverage cliffs to help your Brood Lords defend themselves from fast moving anti-air troops.


Good vs. These Races / Strategies:		Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is great when your opponent does not have strong Air to Air units and is turtling in their base.		This is bad when your opponent is sporting a strong air to air army or if they have good positioning and a dominant land force and can quickly get under your Brood Lords with a strong anti-air army.

What to do in Success:		What to do in Failure:
Continue to slowly push on your opponents base. Keep your Brood Lords as protected as you can and keep eating away at the enemies base. Once it and the units guarding it are sufficiently beaten down you can move in with your land army to finish them off.		If you fail you will want to have as many Brood Lords escape as possible and hopefully leverage your ground army to defend them and move into a defensive position and then try to attack again after you've regrouped. If you have lost everything rebuild units to counter your opponents army and play defensively.
