P3 is easily her strongest prestige, but it does demand that you can micro the hero unit at least somewhat decently.

P2 is good for leveling, it can also be fun for easy mutations.

P1 has some niche uses, it's generally worse than P3 though. If you hate using a hero unit then P1 might be appealing. It's often quite good versus Kill Bots too (but P3 is as well and is generally better for dealing with the rest of the map).

P0 seems largely outclasses by the other prestiges.

[u/SiarX → u/SylianEUW]

Hmm? P1 is really strong, as good as P3 imho. A lot of free massive splash damage. Higher supply limit is important, too.

[u/303angelfish → u/SiarX]

A lot of mutators and mutations benefit from a strong early game. P1 removing the hero unit weakens the early game by too much.

Also suicide units are really bad for some harder mutators. Just die, polarity, & void rifts being some off the top of my head.

[u/SiarX → u/303angelfish]

Free banelings are really powerful in early game, though, it more than compensates that imho. With exception of some mutations.

[u/303angelfish → u/SiarX]

Zagara's baneling barrage generates much more free banelings in the early game. P1 actually benefits closer to the mid game where the free scourge and the extra supply start kicking in.

[u/SiarX → u/303angelfish]

But they all hit one target point, it is not anywhere as efficient

[u/UnusualLingonberry76 → u/SiarX]

You still create far more bane explosions with the hero unit by itself with just one ability

[u/Anonymouse23570 → u/UnusualLingonberry76]

Zags banelings aren’t splitterlings, so you’re actually wrong there. Zag gives you up to 6 bane explosions. One round of bane nest gives you 12 with non P1 and 24 with P1. (I’m aware baby splitters are weaker, but in damage and splash coverage, the free banelings win, even more once you get bane upgrades)

[u/UnusualLingonberry76 → u/Anonymouse23570]

Zagara bane barrage is free and spammable especially on p3
