One feature that Terran player enjoys is the Reaper rush, an infantry unit designed for an excellent base raider. Having it enables the Terran to take advantage of its jump pack for smooth climbing up and down the cliffs without requiring a spotter. Damage wise, a Terran Reaper can cause high damage against the enemy’s light targets. It also can cause explosions in the opponent’s buildings.
Many veteran players employ the Reaper rush because of their power. It will only take two Reapers to do the rush and come out as the victor. When using a Reaper rush, the Terran players seek to harass the minerals of their enemies, and thus, take a toll on their economy.

There have been many versions of how to successfully defend the Reaper Rush, with each designer claiming for the best results. Recently, many professional players have shared their secrets in building the Reaper rush defense. It varies according to the race you are playing.

If you are playing against another Terran, use a Marine rush or generate mass marines. Also, you need to guard the four corners of your base. The marines are favored for their long range, and thus could be efficacious in eliminating their enemies, particularly the Reapers due to the latter’s low armor capacity and low HP. When the enemy’s Reaper rush fails, the Marine rush wins.
Another alternative to defend your battalion and base against the Reaper rush is to scout first. If you see a barracks and gas depot supplies going down to 10, it is an indication of definite Reaper rush, in which case you just have to construct 2 barracks, and pump some marines. The only way the Reapers can deal a high damage against you is when you are defenseless, hence, prepare 6 marines; they can take destroy 3-4 Reapers.

Zerg race players counter the Reaper rush defense with a spawning pool, which is really a significant factor in defending your base as Zerglings are good at defending the base as soon as their Metabolic Boost upgrade and Adrenal Gland upgrade are completed. The enhanced Zerglings can catch and destroy Reapers even before they plan on staging a retreat. You can also employ your Roaches and Mutalisk combination if the Reaper rush retreats and resurges.

Protoss players construct a Cybernetics core and secure a Stalker as an immediate strategy. If there are many zealots created, they should be situated near the cliffs, where the Reapers may possibly jump into. As soon as the base is protected, produce a Phoenix, Sentry force field as well as the Guardian shields.
