Infested Kerrigan is a unique zerg hero.

Overview[]

Kerrigan appears in the missions "Agent of the Swarm," "The Amerigo," "The Dark Templar," "Eye for an Eye," and "The Quest for Uraj." She also appears as an invincible, NPC hero unit in "Legacy of the Xel'Naga," "The Insurgent," "To Chain the Beast," "To Slay the Beast," and "The Reckoning."

Kerrigan is a powerful unit; she has high HP, good armor, and deals massive damage with her normal attacks. With Ensnare and Psionic Storm she can support the player's forces against large numbers of enemies, and can Cloak to scout out enemies and attack vulnerable points. Her major weakness is her inability to attack air units, and heavy-hitting units like reavers can quickly deplete her HP.

Abilities[]

Kerrigan cannot use her Psionic Storm ability in the missions "Agent of the Swarm" and "The Amerigo."

This ability enables Infested Kerrigan to cloak. She may attack and continue to use other abilities.

Notes[]

  • In her game sprite she possesses four wings, while she possesses two wings in her wireframe and in artwork. This is more visible in StarCraft: Remastered.
  • In older versions of Brood War, on the map "The Quest for Uraj" Kerrigan's select quote was changed from "Yes cerebrate?" to simply "Yes?" as the player is the executor rather than a cerebrate. However, this was removed in StarCraft: Remastered.
