STARCRAFT II GAME UNITS QUEEN

Previous Zerg Unit: Zergling Next Zerg Unit: Hydralisk

UNITS

QUEEN
During the first Zerg invasion,
Queens were able to spawn a
variety of parasites that infested
Terran structures to create suicide
troops under the Overmind’s
control. In the aftermath of the
Brood War, the new Queens are
tougher creatures who now play a
limited command role nurturing
Zerg nest sites. Their new morphology hints at the
incorporation of Terran or Protoss DNA, or perhaps even
the Zerg-altered genes of the Queen of Blades herself.
This evolution implies that a widespread change is taking
place within the Zerg hierarchy, a redistribution of power
that will make the Zerg even more difficult to combat.

GENERAL STRATEGY

Support unit.
STRONG AGAINST
Early-game anti-air; valuable for base defense.
Can improve production speed with Spawn Larva ability.

Can improve mobility by spawning Creep Tumors, which spread Zerg

creep. Creep allows structures to be built farther away and makes Zerg
Hellion Mutalisk Void Ray
move faster while standing on top of it.
Can also use Creep Tumors to slow enemy expansion, as non-Zerg
WEAK AGAINST
races can’t build on creep.
Can heal units or buildings with the Transfusion ability.
Can burrow with the Burrow upgrade.

Marine Zergling Zealot

COUNTERMEASURES

VS Terran

Use high damage ground units, like Ghosts and Marauders, to quickly
overwhelm a queen.

VS Zerg

Quick, inexpensive, high-damage attackers like Zerglings can swiftly cut a

Queen down if they are able to break through base defenses.
Thanks to their resilience, Roaches can outlast Queens’ base defenses to

reach and defeat them.

VS Protoss

Phoenixes, particularly in groups, can harass and slay Queens functioning as

base defenders with their Graviton Beam attack.

Dark Templar can sneak into bases and quickly dispatch Queens provided
they have no detection units (such as Overseers).

I miss the old queen. I once saw the whole map using parasites. And a queen gave me a goal: Infest Terran Command Center

I think the queen should be abe to hop back in the air like a viking and then do swan broodling. That would make it easyier for us to

distory a lone tank

XenoChopper 2/21/11 11:10 PM

multiple queens can actually be really good combat & support units as long as you utilize transfusion well.

volcanix 2/17/11 4:05 PM

Am I the only one who thinks that that thing is a zerg hybrid because it has no mouth (just like the toss) and is zerg.

I want that queen drawing! MINE!

Frostlord 2/10/11 5:01 AM

I saw someone use a single queen against a single zealot (both full health), and the queen died so fast! They need to bump up its

damage, considering its supposed to be a base defense unit. Otherwise, queens rock!

Frezer 2/16/11 3:53 AM

@Frostlord:r u crazy queens arent made 4 combat at all

Tipou 2/6/11 3:29 AM

stupid kerrigan what she did to our queen!!! :(((((

Ironspider 2/16/11 6:46 PM

@Tipou: She made it useful and look awesome.

Froopermoop 1/29/11 6:30 AM

underpowered attack, considering they're units that hold down the fort while the rest are away... they usually kill one unit and give up on

life D:

Anewbis 1/24/11 3:57 PM

Think they forgot to mention the spawn creep tumor ability.

Destructor 1/23/11 3:19 AM

but I miss spawning brooding in siege tanks D:

Fergilicious 1/18/11 9:41 PM

Morpheus 1/17/11 11:23 PM

zero 1/16/11 5:50 AM

when someone mass queen what i do is kick back and build and wait 4 him to go on the atk when he does i just fly over to his base and

clean it out cuz if u take every building he/she has out u win

ace 1/3/11 10:28 PM

I had this happen to me this guy/girl massed queens and whenever i got close to killing one it became at full health because he massed

tranfusion HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL A ARMY THAT CAN HEAL ITSELF CONTINUOUSLY????

SolaGratia 1/5/11 8:39 PM

@ace: Do more damage than they can heal at any given time? or: EMP?

Froopermoop 1/17/11 6:59 AM

@ace: Medics ring any bells? :) They do the same thing ace

Samaugsch 1/18/11 1:31 AM

@Froopermoop: Yeah, but units can only be healed by one at a time and medics don't heal nearly as quickly as a queen

does.

Froopermoop 1/29/11 6:31 AM

@Samaugsch: I suppose... but medivacs heal as soon as someone is damaged... Yeah I gotta give you that one :/

Smokeypot 12/17/10 8:42 PM

@Starviper: thats just wrong in so many different ways

Conquerer 1/25/11 4:05 AM

@Starviper: Look, you get that close to one and you wake up looking like FireBreather's avatar. Plus..., just forget it, ok. Go

to eHarmony or something and get a gf.

Creature 12/3/10 7:31 PM

They look too much like spiders

Ironspider 12/2/10 6:50 PM

best.unit.art.EVER!!!!

FireBreather 12/2/10 11:11 PM

@Ironspider: i can almost draw a zerg ling .i is IMPOSSIBLE to draw queen -.-

FireBreather 12/2/10 12:09 AM

a noob attacked me with 5 queens a few days ago -.-

darkpaladin 12/23/10 2:00 AM

@FireBreather: same thing happened to me a while back except he used 8-10, i was easily able to fend off his army of

queens with a balanced force :3

Viperwasp 1/9/11 3:29 AM

@darkpaladin: Using Stalkers , Marauders , or Roaches against queens is cheating! So if you used any of theses units to

counter the mass queen build your enemy went with, then you cheated!

I think some other units are also considered cheating as well if you use them on someone who uses mass queens. Cheating

is unfair.

ppham 2/2/11 11:16 PM

@Viperwasp: so its cheating to counter someone thats massin stuff against u??

nickhunter 11/20/10 7:45 PM

who thinks blizzard should give queens a speed upgrade like the overlords do at teir 2... that would make queens non rushing units while

not underpowering them in the late game

DELTAFORCE 12/1/10 11:59 PM

@nickhunter: I am with you on that!

Nero 12/11/10 10:07 PM

@DELTAFORCE: That would be nice, Queens do need a boost to their air damage though, since they get killed so easily by

air units while at the main base, those upgrades later in the game would be really nice to have, I would make more queens

if there were those upgrades.

Leader 11/20/10 6:09 PM

the queen=drone+some of the queen of blades

ArkAngel 11/18/10 3:10 AM
