Starcraft 2 Zerg Guide - The Mutalisk Rush

Comments (0)

This guide will show you how to perform a mutalisk rush with the intent of taking out your opponent's workers before they have any decent anti air. This strategy will work best against a Zerg player but it is also possible against Protoss. However, I would not recommend using it against a Terran player because marines do very well against mutalisks.

The key to this strategy is only building zerglings while you save all the gas you mine for the mutas. You will need to use the zerglings for early protection and to keep the enemy busy while you tech up to mutas. Try to keep your opponent from scouting your base so he doesn't know you are fast teching.

Start the game off with a normal 14 pool build but upgrade to a lair as soon as you have the gas. Make sure you are running both the extractors, as you will need a lot of gas. Pump out zerglings while you wait for the upgrade to finish and send them to harass the enemy. As soon as the lair finishes build a spire and try to build it behind your minerals so the enemy will not see it. When the spire finishes make as many mutalisks as you can and send them to the back of your opponents base where the workers are. Take out as many workers as you can. If all goes well you should be able to cripple his economy and then you can switch to either roaches or hydralisks to finish him off. Just make sure you don't let him expand. If your mutalisk attack fails then you must switch to roaches or hydralisks right away as mutas do very poorly as a main fighting unit. This strategy will not always work but when it does you will win the game pretty quickly and easily.

Becoming an advanced Starcraft 2 player is very challenging and confusing. I purchased the Starcraft 2 Advanced Strategy Guide from Star2Pros.com and I have been very impressed with the strategies they teach. I would highly recommend it to any Starcraft 2 player who wants to get to the top of the Diamond Ladders, I think this guide might be the only one of its kind.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!
