Best Starcraft 2 Terran Nuke Rush Strategy Guide – Quick Shokz SC2 Terran Rushes Strategies in TvT, TvP, TvZ
Nukes are underused in starcraft 2. Not everybody knows that Nukes are actually cool to use in the game. If you just know when and how to use them. One of the possible reasons why Nukes are not that used that often because of the high cost of tech before you get access to them. If you are looking for some great fun with your enemies then this nuke strategy is a great way to be able to overwhelm your opponent.
There are a lot of possible ways to be able to use this nuke strategy. It will all depend on you on how and what you want to happen in the game. I can suggest first is to create a diversion first by attacking your opponent’s base. The main goal here is to keep your enemy busy by attacking and backing off, so that he needs to micro his units every now and then. You can make use of your siege tanks together with your hellions and marines to do the siege. Always remember the main goal and that is to keep his attention on your army and countering your attacks. While you are sending out armies as a diversion, immediately use the cloak ability on your ghost and then send him at the back of your enemy’s base and go for the nuke. A nuke can take out supply depots and pylons, even overlords in one blow. If you enemy has built his buildings at one single spot, then the best location for your nuke. One more thing, if your enemy’s base is still mining, then you have to target the Nexus directly. When the nuke lands there and he doesn’t get his units out of the way in time, then they will all be destroyed at a single blow, except for the ones in the refineries. This will greatly damage your enemy’s economy. A lot of players, whenever hearing the warning message ‘Nuclear Launch Detected’, would get easily intimidated. They would start to panic and look for the little red dot
Another way to start the game with this strategy is by sending all your scvs to mine. Build up to 10 scvs and as soon as the 10th scv is done, build a vespane gas. Then get 1 scv to build a barracks. Get another scv and build a supply depot as soon as you have 100 minerals. When you are done building your supply depot, send those 2 scvs back to mine and the scv that worked on your barracks. You should have enough money by now and you can now start training two marines and a bunker. Then build a factory. While you are building the factory, don’t forget to build your defenses as well. Just a tip, keep 150 minerals and 100 gas so that you can build a starport once your factory is finished. While you are building your starport, start building your academy as well. When your starport is done, build your science facility and add the convert opps when you are done. After this, you may start building you nukes.
There are also disadvantages in using the nuke strategy. Especially if you are against a zerg player using lings rush and you don’t have a strong defense. You can also use ghosts by sending them cloaked to your enemy’s base. This is useful in killing your enemy’s miners, to kill their economy.
