6 Pool

Zergling Pack

Dealing with a single Zergling is not too bad. Dealing with two Zerglings at the same time is a bit challenging. Dealing with six Zerglings at the same time is a thing of nightmares. 6 Pool is a collective of 6 Zerglings that roam and attack as a pack. With great speed and numbers, 6 Pool is quick to attack and assist allied heroes.

Pros
  • Insane movement speed.
  • Great zoning capabilities.
  • Good peeling against back line assault.

Cons
  • Extremely vulnerable to AoE effects.
  • Zerglings don't respawn until all are dead.

Tips

The list below is a series of tips and tricks to help you master 6 Pool.
  • 6 Pool is an extremely fast hero. Utilize the speed to quickly surround the most threatening enemy hero.
  • Use strength in numbers to be the most successful. Make sure to disengage in fights that get too heavy to preserve as many Zerglings as possible. Remember, once a Zergling is lost, it won't come back until all Zerglings have died and 6 Pool has respawned.
  • With fast movement speed, bounce between targets and punish enemy heroes that attempt to hit the back line.
  • Be careful of enemy heroes with abilities that do damage over an area, use Scatter to avoid focused AoE attacks.
