Starcraft 2 Tips and Strategy: Zerg units: Roach

Starcraft 2 is one the hottest game in the gaming market today. What I am going to talk about one of the more robust unit in the Zerg arsenal, the Roach. What I am going to share with you is a basic introduction to Roach and how professional Starcraft 2 gamers use this robust and relatively cheap unit to its best potential.

Introduction to Roach

Ground Carapace ( Increase armor by 1)

Missle Attacks ( Increase Damage by 2)

This is the basic structure of a Roach you can notice Roach quite a cheap unit and a robust unit consider its hitpoints, 1 armor and its ability of Rapid Regeneration.

So what are Roaches good against?

They are generally good against units that have the type light.  Some examples of units that are weak against the Roaches are High Templar, Zealots, Reapers, Helions and Zerglings.

How do we use these Roaches like a pro?

Some simple ways of using them are:

Use them to tank.

Use Roaches to tank when engage allowing units with higher DPS(Damage per Second) units to attack. An example is a Hydralisk/Roaches combination where Roaches tank units in the front while Hydralisk attacks from behind.

Ambush the Opponent units.

Since in Starcraft 2 Roaches can move while burrowed after researching Tunneling Claws, Roaches are great units that can be use to ambush opponent units. A simple way is to burrow and move under opponent units and unburrow right beside them. A good example is to sneak the Roaches to opponent mineral lines and ambush all their harvestors and sneak away before any forces arrive.

Use them Kill long-range far damage units

It is always a pain in Starcraft 2 when fighting with super long-range units like the Siege Tanks or the Colossus, which can attack from far and have other units to defend them from the front. Using the tactic shared previously under ambushing opponent units, we can always use burrowed Roaches and move under units that are protecting the long-range unit and go right beside those long-range units to ambush them.

Now we know the basic structure of a Roaches and how can we use them effectively like a pro. Continue reading to find out more ingenious strategies top Diamond Player use with Roaches at www.Starcraft2DiamondGuide.info
