Difficulty Rank:

3/5



 

When to Use:

 

Featured Units:

Use this when your Queen has extra energy that you don't want/need to use on Spawn Larva.   Queen is used for this strategies
     

[What to do]

Use your queen to drop a Creep Colony (most often) at the edge of your existing creep.
 

[Tips for Pulling This Off]

Use a queen to spawn a creep colony far from your base at the edge of your creep and continue to spawn additional creep colonies from that, and with your queen, to expand your creep. Late game you can use your queen to spawn several colonies at a time to speed up this process. Also, use overlord generate creep to expand your creep over ledges and valleys/land gaps.
 
     

Good vs. These Races / Strategies:

 

Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:

This is great vs. almost all races and strategies. Creep will help all of your land units move faster.   This is bad if you are facing another Zerg army and you have air troops or speedlings and they have other land troops as you will benefit them more than you will benefit yourself. Also, you can block an ally's ability to build if you creep too much into their territory.
     

What to do in Success:

 

What to do in Failure:

Keep expanding your creep.   Spawn new creep colonies with your Queen.
