This StarCraft 2 tip shows the basic structure of a Hydralisk, you can notice Hydralisk have one of the highest DPS (Damage per Second) due to its fast attack speed and damage. This attribute makes them one of the heaviest damage dealers in the mid game. However it is weak due to its lack of armor, armor type and its hitpoints.

So what are Hydralisks good against?
They are generally fairly good against all tier 2 air units like the Voidrays, Banshees and Mutalisks. Hydralisks with their high DPS can snipe out tier 3 units very quickly when attacking from behind with their long range. However the Hydralisks being very weak to attacks die quickly to units with splash damage. Therefore the longer Hydralisks stay alive in a battle the higher chance of winning in a battle.

How do we use these Hydralisks like a pro?
Some simple Starcaft 2 tips of using them are:

Set them up behind a wall of melee units or Roaches
This StarCraft 2 tip is when you push out with your army. Keep your Hydralisk behind in your army composition. So when engaging they will not be the first ones to take damage and with their high DPS dealing lots of damage to opponent units.

Spread more Creep
In StarCraft 2 Hydralisk gain a much more percentage boost in their speed when walking on Creep then other Zerg units. With this StarCraft 2 tip, Zerg players when using mass Hydralisks should spread as much creep as possible as this will means your Hydralisks army will reach the place you want them to be faster be it to attack or to defend. This will also allow microing of Hydralisks even easier with their increased speed.

Throwing a bunch of Hydralisks with Tier 3 units
In StarCraft 2 when engaging a battle with a Zerg army with Tier 3 units, players will tend to focus fire on this units. Therefore this making them a good tanker which allow a bunch of Hydralisks with high DPS to fire away from behind allowing them to be the last to die. With this StarCraft 2 Tip, you will therefore maximize the efficiency of your Hydralisks.
