The Hellion is another new addition to the Terran forces, which acts as a combination of the old Firebat and Vulture in one. It’s a fast, land-based vehicle which uses fire throwers to deal AoE line damage to units. These little lethal “beach buggies” will torch large number of packed units, such as Zerglings to toast in no-time, and might even have the time to run away unharmed!

The mounted flamethrower deals an area of effect in a straight line and is ideal for taking out light armored units, from which the Hellion receives an attack bonus. Combine this with the quick speed and increased range upgrade, and the Hellion can easily perform hit and run tactics on a much slower enemy group. The Hellion is currently unable to attack air targets.

Now below are some of the best protoss units in countering hellions :

Sentry’s Force field and Guardian shield – FF to prevent them from kiting, guardian shield to reduce their damage
Phoenix – Move faster than Hellions and do bonus damage to them
Stalker – Take little damage and deal near full damage
