Best Protoss Counter vs Siege Tanks – Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategies to Countering, Anti-Tank Units

You might recently had some siege tanks sitting outside your base guarded with marines. What’s the best way to counter terran tanks?

Well personally, if I have tech to go for void rays, then go for it, but that’s not usually the case. If you see terran building multiple siege, get stalkers with blink upgrade. A small group of stalkers blinking right up next to siege tank is good (plus if your stalkers are close enough the siege will friendly fire his own units especially those ground forces running back to attack stalkers), and if you time the blink right you can dodge a siege attack.

If the tanks are forced to retreat, get some good damage on their probe line. While they are recovering from that attack, throw up Dark Shrine and harass with DTs splitting them up, attacking his army and probe line so he has to retreat back again while getting blown up so he can try to get all you DTs in 1 scan. While your opponent is dealing with all that, expand out and grab your 2nd base, assuming you haven’t already won, and begin preparing for a long game of macro as he begins to turtle, but it doesn’t usually go that far.

Now for probably the Best Way in countering & stop siege tanks :

Immortals really are the easiest and best counter to siege tanks, though in mid-late game, if they have a Marine swarm to back it up you might have to worry. Throw in a few (dozen) sentinels for shield times. Usual counter measure is a simple trio of Immortals (as Seige Shot absorbers), Zealots and Sentries (w/ Gaurdian Sheild). 2 Warpgate, 1 Robo

Here are Protoss units to counter siege tanks :

  • Phoenix – Especially useful for lifting tanks in siege mode
  • Stalker with blink – Can blink on top of tanks in siege mode
  • Dark Templar – Can get in range of tanks in siege mode before noticed, and snipe them before getting scanned
  • High Templar’s Psionic storm – Tanks in siege mode can’t dodge it at all
  • Zealots with charge – Can quickly get in range of Tanks in or out of siege mode to kill them
  • Void rays – High DPS to armored targets when fully charged
