Zerg Swarm Queen

Description[]

The Swarm Queen is a bulky basic ground unit. Is trained directly from Hatchery/Lair/Hive, without a Larva. Swarm Queens don't use Control Control. A maximum of one Swarm Queen per Hatchery/Lair/Hive can be built.

Can be used to increase production by using Inject Larva which gives an extra Larva or to extend Creep and provide vision with Spawn Creep Tumor. Alternatively the Swarm Queen can be employed in a more defensive manner by using Enrage, which lets the Swarm Queen attack in melee range with a splash attack or Transfuse to heal units or structures.
