7 Hatch Hydralisk Build

This build sets you up for a very strong economy and mid game transition. Also allows you to afford alot of sunkens for early defense.

  • 9 Hatchery (2nd Hatchery)
  • 9 Overlord
  • 9 Spawning Pool
  • 10 Hatchery (3rd Hatchery)
  • 1 Creep Colony when the pool is 70% done
  • 12 Hatchery (4th Hatchery)
  • 15 Hatchery (5th Hatchery)
  • 18 Hatchery (6th Hatchery)
  • 17 Overlord
  • Add 2 Sunkens for defense
  • 19-20 Hatchery (7th Hatchery)
  • 26-28 Gas x4 – Build gas after you have around 6 Sunkens (~4:20 minutes)
  • @ 100 Gas → Build 2 Hydra Dens and 2 Evolution Chambers
  • Research Range + Speed + +1 Weapon + +1 Carapace
  • @ 250 Gas → Morph 2 Lairs

Transition

  • Drone up to 60 Supply before producing more units.
  • After reaching 60 supply, make 3-4 Overlords and wait until all Hatcheries have 3 larva available.
  • Hydras should start coming out by 6-7 minutes, depending on how many sunkens you built.

Notes

  • Sunken timing is crucial. If you're being rushed by Zealots, Marines, or Zerglings, you may need to increase the number of sunkens to 6-8. Do not take gas during this time.
  • Only build Hatcheries after you've spent all your larva. Manage your resources efficiently.
  • Send your second Overlord to your choke as soon as possible to scout for any incoming attacks.
  • After reaching 60 Drones, make 4-6 Overlords and begin Hydra production all at once. Do not build Hydras little by little.
  • Start Lurker upgrades immediately after Hydra Range + Speed research is done and add two more gases.
  • Push out with 18-24 Hydras and simultaneously build a Queens Nest and Spire.
  • Make 4-6 Lurkers and place them at your choke for defense.
