The Overlord has been going through ALOT of changes lately and i was wondering what it's current abilities were?

Is the Changeling still around, does the overlord have the ability to transport again?

Has the Overseer gotten any new abilities?

Overlord has the Generating Creep ability after Lair and the Transport ability after researching at the Lair.

Overseer has Detecting ability as passive and Healing ability on the biological unit or structure. and Overseer can spawn the Changeling.

Q u o t e:


How many hit points does the Overseer's healing ability currently restore?

---

200, currently.

---

Q u o t e:


Now Overlords have something more to do (besides detection) than wait for upgrades or sit in the back of your base, as well as on field transformation into Overseer. Excrete Creep should stay on Overlord, since Overlord is a macro unit, Creeping is also macro.

Cydra, when you said "initially", do you mean Overlords get to use Creep from start of the game, or still unlocked after Lair?

Sorry for the confusion. You can get Generate Creep ability after the Lair.

---

Q u o t e:
1) So overseers cannot generate creep?
2) Is there any speed upgrade for the overlord without upgraded to overseer?
3) Does the generate creep ability generate a permanent spot of creep or only until the overlord is given a different command?
4) What happens if you generate creep then start a Nydus worm then stop generating creep while the nydus worm is constructing?


Offensive use of the Nydus worm will be tough if you have to inch a non upgraded overlord to your enemies base in order to drop creep. Especially late game when little of the map will be a mystery.

1) Correct.
2) Yes, there is currently a speed upgrade for the Overlord at the Lair. Overseers also have a speed upgrade option in the Lair, and will no longer automatically have the speed upgrade.
3) It will continuously generate creep up to a maximum radius, until the ability is turned off. The Overlord cannot move while the ability is active.
4) The Nydus Worm will still pop up, but will begin to take damage over time when there is no creep.

Q u o t e:
How about Overlord transportation? Is it still in game and is it an upgrade? So many questions :P

Thanks Karune xD

The Lair/Hive currently have 3 upgrades:
1) Additional Overseer Speed
2) Additional Overlord Speed and allows them to transport
3) Razor Plague (AoE cast ability for the Queen, which is also able to be controlled for a duration by the Zerg player)
