Starcraft 2 – Terran Counter Unit Guide

This guide will show you the basics of counter attacking using the Terran race when playing against Zerg and Protoss. Here is just an overview and summary of the Terran counter units guide.

First, I’ll show you how to play against a Protoss player. The first thing to look for is the zealot and stalker combo. A good Terran unit counter for this is the tank and thor combo, put some marines in the front line to protect the tanks. If your enemy uses colossi or immortals, you can use thors to take care of them because colossi are not good at dealing damage to large units. For immortals, you’ll need to use marines or maybe some demons. Prevent your tanks and thors from attacking the immortals or you will lose them. The last thing you can anticipate is when your enemy uses empty beams. Just use your vikings to deal with it. Create some of them and you will be able to handle the void rays.

Second, you can play against a Zerg player. Your enemy could throw many different units at you and the zergling attack is one of them. The best Terran counter unit to handle this type of attack is the Fiend, because it will deal heavy damage to groups of ground units like zerglings. The other Zerg’s attack is a combination between the roach and the hydro. You can use tank and thor combo to deal with them. It will destroy the Zerg attack. Watch out for the mutalisk attack. Just use the marines and vikings to take care of him.

If you follow this guide, you should have a better chance of beating your enemy, even an advanced player who challenges you in the game.
