Tactical Overview

"Zerg worker that sacrifices itself to build structures — the backbone of the Swarm economy."

The Drone is the basis of Zerg economy. Unlike other races, the Drone is consumed to become the biological structures of the Swarm.

Strengths

Unique mechanic: consumed to build structures instantly
Can be mass-produced from multiple Hatcheries simultaneously
Excellent early mineral saturation speed

Weaknesses

Consumed permanently when morphing into structures
Extremely fragile in combat
Requires constant production discipline to keep balanced

Good Against

Early Rushes (with enough Spine Crawlers)

Vulnerable Against

Any harassment unitReapersHellions

Usage Tip

Always keep drone count at maximum while your larva and minerals allow. Never lose drones to avoidable harassment.
