Infestor and Hydra vs short range armies

How to use your Hydralisk and Infestors to attack short range and melee units without fear. Infestors and Hydralisks can combine for a dominating strategy of stopping units with Fungal Growth and attacking them without fear as Hydralisks outrange many enemies including Roaches, Sentries, Marines and Melee units.

Difficulty Rank:

4/5


When to Use:		Featured Units:
Right at the start of a battle with an opponent Fungal Growth their units and move your Hydralisks in to attack.

[What to do]
Use your Infestor to Fungal Growth the opposing army and then move your Hydralisks in to attack them.


[Tips for Pulling This Off]
Have control of your Infestors right before the battle begins and quickly Fungal Growth the opponents front line. Move your Hydralisks in to attack (if they aren't doing so already) and continue to Fungal Growth as the opponents troops wrap around the side of their army that has already been Fungal Growthed.


Good vs. These Races / Strategies:		Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is great vs. short ranged opposing armies (Roaches, Zerglings, Zealots, Sentries, Immortals). It allows your Hydralisks to attack while taking almost no damage as they outrange your opponent.		This doesn't work well vs. Long-ranged armies like Colossus, Tanks, Thors, Marauders. The HP drain of Fungal Growth is minimal for those units and the Hydralisk will not work well vs. any AE.

What to do in Success:		What to do in Failure:
In success you should push on your opponent. You probably made a crushing blow to their army by incapacitating them while your Hydralisks ripped through them. This means it's time to push on their base, take additional expansions and command map control.		In failure you hopefully still destroyed most of their army. Rebuild at your base and retreat with your troops. If you still have energy you can Fungal Growth their army as they try to chase you to buy time.
