Ultralisks, armor or speed first? (685 reads, 18 replies)
Which is the better order in ZvP,ZvT?
In ZvP I go speed first, in ZvT armor first.

I always go speed first to easier deploy troops etc.. I imagine if oyu got the enemy knocking on your door already armor is the better way to go, but otherwise always speed. You don't want your cracklings to run straight in to the enemy storms/marine fire without ultra support!

i'm no zerg user, but i'd say speed because it's much easier to time your attacks then. it sucks hard when your lings are already dead while your ultras are still in the middle of the map.

if you are ahead in the game, always speed first. however if you need to break a terrans contain on you or something, armor first imo

you want speed first, because then they run at the same speed lings do, allowing them to enter into that deadly combo that they do so well.

Usually speed first, sometimes armor first in ZvT

Oh and yes the upgrades take the same amount of time, go dual ultra cavern and see for yourself. ;)

If u have the resources for it go dual cavern and make both upgrades same time. Usually at the point u are going for ultra you should have enough mins/gas to do this.

mostly i start getting ultra when i allready got one upgrade and the second is half finished :o

i usually go for some moves with defilers first when i got my hive, like 11 ling and a defiler vs toss-exp only with cannon support.
or ling lurk defiler...
saves me more money for ultras later, and with both speed and 3-5 they mostly decide the game even faster than if u suck around wth unupgraded ultras just because your hive just finished
