160General Strategy
- Anti-ground flying unit.
- Evolves from Corruptor.
- Flings broodlings, which do high levels of damage to ground- based units and can surround them.
- Broodlings cannot attack air units, and have a limited lifespan.
- Effective siege unit due to its long-ranged attack and ability to fly.
Countermeasures
VS Terran
- Build Vikings to efficiently take down Brood Lords without any retaliation.
- Battlecruisers are also effective against Brood Lords and can destroy them in one hit with their Yamato Cannon upgrade.
- The biggest strength of Brood Lords is their ability to create massive numbers of Broodlings. Take Brood Lords out quickly with Vikings to prevent this.
VS Zerg
- Anti-air flying units like Corruptors can engage Brood Lords and pursue them throughout an area effortlessly without any fear of being targeted in return.
- Anti-air ground units such as Hydralisks, though obviously less ideal than flying units, can provide a defense against Brood Lords when massed.
VS Protoss
- Brood Lords can be handily dispatched by air units that they can’t reach, such as Carriers, Phoenixes, and especially Void Rays – the Rays’ ’Prismatic Beam’ will quickly wear away at Brood Lords’ hit points.
