it's my opinion that armor upgrades for Zerg are staple: 1 armor allows Zerglings to withstand two hits from 0-0-1 Zealots, as well as a direct hit from an unupgraded Tank in siege mode (though left with one health). it further increases the durability of both Roach and Ultralisk, both of which are already base armored 1 to a max of 4 and 6, respectively. air armor increases the longevity of Mutalisks, with 1 armor reducing Marine and Sentry damage down to 5. it just seems fairly obvious to me that Zerg benefit the most from armor upgrades than Terran or Protoss do.
but, are there times when it's more advantageous to upgrade attacks over armor? Mutalisk attack upgrades effectively increase their damage output by 3 per shot, as their attack splits twice. which could be good for sniping off units with a smaller health pool such as workers or Tier1. Ultralisks will simply deal that much more damage if upgraded for attack, even if just once. Zerglings already have one of the highest DPS rates in the game, especially when coupled with the Adrenal Gland upgrade (ASPD boost) but can be raised even higher if upgraded for attack. even ranged units Hydralisk and Roach benefit from attack upgrades due how often they are made in games, and it is understood that attack upgrades become increasingly effective in bigger numbers, which Zerg tend to excel at.
just wondering what upgrades you guys run as Zerg. for those of you who play Zerg, of course. and upgrade. what do you guys think?
