    If you don't want spoilers then what are you doing here go play the game!

    Wanna know what everyone's Kerrigan build was?

    I went in order of levels:

    Kinetic Blast

    Chain Reaction

    Automated Extractors (Switched from improved overloads)

    Spawn Banelings (Friggin awesome with Split banelings + 100% extra damage boost)

    Vespene Efficiency

    Fury

    Spawn Leviathan (Who would pick anything else?)

    I'm using Raptorlings combined with Forced Mutation(?) and the zergling respawn passive, which is pretty awesome and allows me to keep rolling over everything. I use the single target/high damage spell with Kerrigan to take care of tough stuff and let the zerglings handle the rest.

    I chose mostly passive abilities, I don't particularly care for hero units.

    Let's see I went...

    • Blast
    • Chain
    • The +HP/Attack Speed thingy
    • Auto Extractors
    • Double Drones
    • +Attack Speed
    • Primal Zerg

    The auto extractors and double drones were mostly to free up supply so I could have a larger max army size. The same with the Primal Zerg, since they last the full duration of the cooldown and cost 0 supply.

    I went with

    • Kinetic Blast
    • Chain
    • Automated Extractors
    • Mend
    • Malignant Creep
    • Infest Broodlings
    • Leviathan

    Well, really I only got to the last tier for the last two levels so I did one with Leviathan and the other with Apoc. For most of the early missions I went with zergling reconstitution and just kind of ploughed through everything with infinite raptor zerglings :V Once I got malignant creep my general strategy was kind of based around it though, together with the slowing roach strain it gives you a huge swing in damage output in your favor. With mend and a few queens in tow to spread the creep and heal I could pretty much sustain a ball of roaches and hydras indefinitely :V This was just on normal, mind.

    Also chain+broodlings is godly for getting cheap meat out front to absorb damage.

    Good to see people not using dual drones/instant overlords; there's a lot of ways to make the game harder without even bothering with the editor; though I suppose if you're playing on normal it doesn't make much of a difference.

    I'm also interested which units people took when they did the evolution missions and what mutations they're primarily using. I took;

    • Swarmling strain (Zergling) - Metabolic Boost Mutation
    • Hunter strain (Banelings) - Rupture Mutation
    • Vile strain (Roach) - Tunneling Claws Mutation
    • Lurker strain (Hydralisk) - Grooved Spines Mutation
    • Viper strain (Mutalisk) - Rapid Regneration Mutation
    • Carrion strain (Swarm Host) - Burrow Mutation
    • Noxious strain (Ultralisk) - Burrow Charge Mutation

    Why did I take the Viper over Brood Lord? Dark Swarm. It still is the best ability in the game. It completely locks down an attack and routes a defense.

    Went with passives for kerrigan, besides the Enrage ability for my swarm. Double workers and instant overlords, to make a bigger army quickly.

    As for the mutations.

    Leaping zerglings with +50% attack speed

    Leaping Baneling with more primary target damage

    Vile Roaches with quick burrow regen - to get my front line back to full hp after a fight

    Regular Lurkers with increased range for hydras

    Brood Lords with better glaives for Mutas

    Swarm Hosts attack air

    Splash damage for ultralisk and obviously burrow charge, wait those are under the same tree. I just opened the ultralisks and it only has Burrow Charge. I don't have a strain for it yet.
