Tactical Overview

"Detection unit and Changeling espionage tool — essential for countering cloaked strategies."

The Overseer is the primary detector for the Zerg. It can spawn Changelings for espionage and contaminate enemy structures to halt production.

Strengths

Provides detection vs. cloaked and burrowed units
Changeling can scout enemy base indefinitely if undetected
Contaminate halts enemy production during critical timings

Weaknesses

Costs larva and resources that could go to army
Fragile — easily killed by anti-air
Limited combat utility beyond detection

Good Against

Dark TemplarGhosts (cloaked)Banshees

Vulnerable Against

Usage Tip

Keep one Overseer with your main army and position a second near key expansions. Use Contaminate on enemy Templar Archives or Tech Labs.

Tactical Abilities
