The Bile Launcher has been changed to the point where it can attack on it's own. Because of this, and of course the Spine Crawlers and Spore Crawlers, Zagara can easily be played with just static defense. A really cool playstyle!

lowko using static defense?
THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!
An entire episode of static defense? Who are you and what have you done with the real Lowko
This, coming right on the heels of that Protoss Campaign where he restarted twice before finally breaking down and building a Photon Cannon, is surely meant to troll us. There's no other reasonable explanation.
Or he might be iNnoVating ;)
There is only one thing that can override the urge to Leeroy Jenkins and that is trolling and
Here are some more strats you can try with the revamped commanders:
Laser Drill rushing as Swann - Concentrated beam can be up at 4:30, if you rush out the laser drill upgrade, then you can go pure static defense on a map like Oblivion Express
Baneling Drops as Zagara - The dropper lords move really really fast, and you can drop banelings from a control grouped overlord for defense, while the rest of your army can still be on F2
Mass mutalisk as Kerrigan - They were buffed heavily so as long as you don't go up against enemy comps with splash [like Protoss Robo], this should be really strong
Kerrigan solo - Her new mastery makes her even more ridiculously powerful. Get all 3 hero-centric masteries and you can literally solo the map with just Kerrigan [and Omega Worms]
Skyterran Raynor - With the cost reduction and the mech attack speed masteries, they are a lot better than they were before
Also, the reason why you had more kills than your ally is because he played a really silly composition too. I recommend clearing out all the enemy bases and THEN camp the spawns with Bile Launchers.
One more: Ultimate Evoltion solo as Abathur. Get the Symbiote mastery for power set 2, and your Brutalisks and Leviathans become super duper hard to kill, and their symbiotes become machine guns that shred any enemy unit in seconds by themselves.
So the research cost reduction buff was changed to vespene cost reduction? I though this was bugged
the research cost bug is still in effect, the vespense cost reduction you refer to Muhammad is the level 1 talent of Raynor that reduces all mech units (ground and air) vespene cost by 20%.
currently the "Research Cost" mastery you speak of is bugged, so it doesn't do anything.
Nathaniel Hagan yeah, can't play properly raynor's mech right now because of the bug ...
but you gotta say, being able to set your BattleCruisers on Patrol around the map on Dead of Night is sweet.
I vote we call them the sneezey bois! :D
They're pukey bois though.
the projectile vomit bois
They're pukey bois
byle boi's?
pukey bois
barfy bois
loogey bois
If this was in multiplayer......... Silver and Gold league: New meta bile rush
Probros Cool I mean...ravager rushes do exists there..
Try doing this strategy with Karax's energizers to further increase the attack speed of the bile launchers :P
HyungjuMoonMan you're evil
ultimate defensive combo XD, add shield batteries in front and some monoliths for high single target damage
Only thing is -someone- has to have an army composition to take out the Void Thrashers unless they do as Lowko said "to put it in the lane" like he did at the ramp with the Pokey Bois.
unless I am mistaken, the bile launcher attack is considered a COOLDOWN, and not an actual attack, so wouldn't a speed buff not affect it?
then would Chrono Boost/Surge still affect it as it does with Zagara's baneling nest?
I wanna see Zegara vs Trains
Very nice. Have to admit, I tried this style on dead of night awhile back but that map doesn't come with enough gas geysers unless your ally doesn't need all of his. Ended up with tons of minerals in the bank and almost lost a couple of sides because I didn't have enough firepower. Next time I'll probably go heavier on crawlers, throwing the launchers in the back and adding some queens for transfuses. A solid row of spore crawlers followed by a solid row of spine crawlers ought to do some good work until the launchers take over. But the other cool thing about these new launchers is that with the insane range, you can just lump all your launchers together in a big block and grab them all easily, and then holding the command button, deploy them all rapidly by just clicking around the screen. Doesn't work so well with the rapid-fire trick, but it works fine my way.
Just a small point, if you got your scourge nest and some scourge upgrades you could totally take out thrashers with a wave of scourge. If you were going to attempt to solo this map, that's how I'd do it--just build hatches on all four bases to collect all the gas and as many minerals as you need, use queens for infusions rather than eggs, don't build a baneling nest, and spend your remaining supply on scourge to push through enemy lines to the thrashers and bonus objectives. Doing that, you could completely block off access on the ramps for maximum crawler/launcher power and still accomplish every objective.
this episode in one word
**BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH**
PUKE INTESIFIES
Hey Lowko you should try mass diamondback for stukov. You basically run over everything while shooting them in the face and they use nets like the Spiders from wc3 to pull down air units.
You just have to select all the Bile Launchers, look at the command card. If the Stop command is white, then there is an idle Bile Launcher.
We, the lowko tribe, demand the Epilogue on brutal.
Hey Frank yes that would be the best
We demand you shut the hell up about campaign and let the man do his damn thing
He said on his stream that it’ll be released on Wednesday.
I wish this will end soon and let him back to his old schedule.
"The lowko Tribe" I like that
Similar to how you split marines, you could target all the biles at one spot, deselect some, then target a different spot.
Also, I think Nuke held back and just attacked when needed.
2016 lowko: static def owo whats this
2018 lowko: lets do only static def on brutal
There is a unit in Red Alert 3 Uprising called the Pacifier FAV. A mobile artillery unit. It does the same thing as the bile launcher when it turns to artillery mode and i absolutely loved to set 5 up and let them bombard a lane.
Lowko using static defense
Me:I don't feel so good
Wait wait wait! Lowko using static defense? Some one cal doctor, he might be deadly ill!
Lowko, if you maxed out intensified frenzy and have a partner that use Kerrigan's Broodlords, I think it will flood the opponent with broodlings. They changed the intensified frenzy to be really powerful and for broodlords to always spawn two broodlings everytime.
I missed co op. Grats on the Protoss campaign. I enjoyed it.
Was already doing this with Zagara, glad to see he finally took notice of it (Y)
If you want to make it a more consistent defense, Try and Time a few of the Bile Launchers attacks so where the launches are constantly hitting each area so there is no window of not taking out units. That way you can easily clear anything out without losing any launchers
I've been a big fan of bile launchers, nice to see them get a boost and a video highlight :)
here is a nice strategy: you know the structure dehaka uses to build units? if you uproot it it gains a ranged attack that can hit air. it even becomes a part of the all army hotkey.
Lowko, dude! I ve got an exam on university in two days and i am suppose to learn right now or at least grab some sleep
Shame on you for uploading so late .
But besides that , niceee , got sure that i have that smile on my face
Lowko, you should try using Stukov with his infested mech units
Do more of those! They're absolute fun! :D
I feel this would be crazy good on the train mission. The objective has a set path.
@Lowko... Thanks for creating this! Always wanted to see how Zagara's Bile Launchers would hold up in this fashion. In addition to Void Launch (make Hatcheries near each of the warp gates), I believe other maps include Oblivious Express. Just spam the tracks!
"Look at my micro! I'm not doing anything!" ~Lowko, 2018
bile launchers are considered units because they use supply (1, same as the drone) much like deakkas primal wurm defence structure (2 supply, drone + 1)
You should've controlled group the bile launchers in each lane.
But good job BTW. 😃
But it's so much more fun to make 2390723 banelings... :P
Zagara protip - it's almost always best to start with a spawning pool before you build any drones, doubly so on a map like this where you don't have any opposition at the expansion. You can max out on drones in the main and the expansion crazy fast that way, and even quickly clear the exp for your ally sometimes if they're playing something that's slow at it.
16:48 Stukov's Infested Liberators. Normally, they just shoot some kind of AA projectile (also some slime?), but an upgrade turns them into a green cloud, the move into an enemy unit, and do damage via that. I think they avoid damage all that time?
I would love to see more wired or epic ways to play coop :D go Lowko
I don't know you anymore, Lowko.
You being so happy about static defense.
So close to 300,000 subs. Great job.
Could you actually try mass diamondback with Stukov? Best and most satisfying Stukov strategy. Why? My favourite unit of all of Starcraft 2 and available Zerg, my favourite race.
your framerates called, they said they are leaving you for going with that strategy.
frames drop harder than a full zergling kerrigan drop.
"Who plays static defense Zagara?"
Pre-update? I did. I DID.
use hatcheries to block most of the way in and/or funnel them. place the bile launchers around the hatcheries and in the chokes for maximum gains
OOhhh CO-OP.... nice i missed it
Thank god for this change, before playing Zagara I was basically just like "welp, guess I'm literally useless on defence missions and also have a unit taken up by something totally worthless.
Always loved your vids. Your hair is on another level right now
Lowko ? with the static defense ? and he happy with it on top of that !!?!?!??
No, it can't be. This must be a Lowko from parallel world or maybe his clone personality in his artificial body that Purifier made.
Static defense that throws a lobbed, green projectile with heavy AOE damage: Bile launcher.
Me: MELON-PULT!?
I want to see you replay this mission and get the strategy a little better. I'm thinking a line of spores and spines at the bottom of the stairs and use groups of 3 to hit the same spot right after each other, then another group of 3 hit the spot right behind and another group of 3 hit right beside, making a line 2 or 3 deep across the walking area, all hitting the ground at the same time. The entire ground would just be a constant exploding minefield. Anything that made it past would die by the spines and spores. Have a hit squad of Zagara and muta's to protect anything that drops in or somehow gets around your defenses and scourge to hit the objectives.
Lowko, you don't have to manually target them. Any that aren't continually attacking will automatically attack enemies in range.
Used to play a lot of bile launcher in Defensive coop
They're so Op to be honest, click several time on a zone not far from the bile and whatever is in this zone is either gone or soon to be. Insane dmg
Lowko, what avout a secondary channel with all the replays you cast without ending up realeasing them ? Thats definitely a channel I would follow because i feel like even if you didnt talk much or the game was mehh you always come up with strategies and greats thoughts about Starcraft. Anyway keep this channel as it is this is awesome dude
“Lowko never builds static defense”.....from now on show them this video
This strategy can be realy good in train mission it will do the same what abathurs tumors can do in it :)
Dear Starcraft Gods! I need more LowKo! I am geographically separated from my family and I look forward to watching your casts as much as I can or as much as you can upload. Also , where can I donate? You deserve my monies!!! How do I throw money at you?
Pokey boi, Sneezing boi and now spitting boi
15:19 Top 10 anime betrayals
Lowko and a video about static deff? WoW
lowko for your next game playthrough,could you do company of heroes?
I’m still waiting for the Ishza commander. Maybe some sort of leviathan theme?
Lowko and static defence...WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO LOWKO ???
How do we defend the temple?
I know, let's projectile vomit until the entire floor is acid.
Genius.
The weakness of Bio-luncher was suppose to be the fact that it hit only specific area, so in theory it shouldn't work against mobile opponents. The problem is that you can stop enemies from moving by adding static defenses in their way or you can add so many Bio-lunchers that they cover entire area, making it totally broken.
And he did the second.
U should make vipers and have all the bile launchers launch in one place while the vipers drag them into the area
Woohoo! New coop!!
Hey Lowko, could do a guide how get mastery achivements on campaign?
Yes! more crazy strats!
Make a few queens to heal your static defence. Add spines in front of biles, and spores in front of spines. Can also use queens to heal your corruptors as they have 5 armour and are quite tanky.
Marek Andreánsky
Why spores in front of spines?
Spores have 100 more health, are cheaper to make and will focus down any air units that give the ground army vision. Not to mention the fact that the ground army will attack them first, then switch to the spines in a few seconds which means the overall damage will be more spread out, reducing the chance a static defense building will be destroyed.
Plus, if you place spores and spines in the correct pattern small units such as zerglings and Stukov's infested can walk past. Same applies to Stukov's missile turrets - since they can uproot they behave like spores in regards to their hitbox and allow small units to pass through.
Zagara got vision.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!
Man, im rly curious now as to wether or not they can be upgraded with "standard" upgrades
now I want to see probius as a commander, who has literally no units, just cannons :D
I EXPECT EPILOGUE NEXT LOWKO
This was AWESOME!
I cant stop thinking of all the slime and acid the protoss will have to wash after that...
Lowko, try this strat on dead of night and see how fast they kill the stanks
"i don't even know what they look like" uhhh VIrophages, Lowko...
I have the same Portal 2 feeling, Lowko.
Well, 100% static d. You can spine and spore push, to get bonus. Creep spread with queens if you don't have a Stukov ally.
I would still make a bane nest for the freebies. Karax wants his crown back.
Lowko ... What are you doing ?!
Filling like half the map with static defense ?! What happened ? Who are you ?
You can test this zagara def on the next mutation on the temple
9:06 I think you meant "Manually* use their abilities"
The Protoss could have really used these bile launchers in the timeline that Kerrigan died.
I've always wanted tp see you play Stukov Mech Specifically his Pokey Tanks.
Do they actually poke and Shoot at the same time?
Raph Perez yes, they do.
Hey its monday when you reading this right? Good time for epilogue right?
I stead of microing the bile launchers individually, put em on a key where you can quickly switch to them and directly target a are if necessary.
Lowko, build more static defense!
I just did this in Dead of Night mission and it was ridiculous.
You're great man!! :D
Mass queen Kerrigan lowko, do it. It's more viable than it should be.
the title of the video should be It's Raining Bile!
So they now resemble the khadarin monolith from the LotV campaign?
The barrages look really awesome!
13th like, my fav number and my earliest like.
Anybody have commander Raynor bugged? His mastery for research discount isn't working.
Thank your ally for the carry.
I dub this "Mass Toad Style".
You could use it in the trains map and spam the rails from afar😅
Wait since when does bile launcher launch automatically?
Ok now we can play def stukov zagara :-D
Plz do one massing kerrigans mutalisks. It's hilarious.
What is this bile launchers look like?
Pregnant ultralisk that keep its vomits fly everywhere.
Hybrids: "IM HER-"
bile launchers: "Omaiwa, mo, shindeiru!"
What is the new co op map called?
Lowko do you still play Guild Wars 2?
