Best Counter Brood Lords with Terran – How to Stop Brood Lord Shokz Starcraft 2 Terran Strategies
July 16th, 2010 | 
Author: Looking on How to Best Counter Brood Lords with Terran? Here are the anti-broodlord terran units to stop zerg :
- Raven – These hit quite hard but at slower pace. Point Defense Drone is good against brood lord attacks. Hunter Seeker Missile will quickly make a dent at their HP, since the brood lords mobility is not that great.
- Battlecruisers – The Yamato cannon upgrade of battlecruises will kill brood lord in one shot.
- Vikings – These are cheaper to produce, they can move quick, and their 2 x 14 damage per attack can’t be retaliated.
- Thor – These have superior firepower(4 x 10 damage) and superior range(10 damage). This is your backup plan if you can’t access the above units.
For now, this ends here. For advanced and secret strategies & techniques, I recommend checking out the guide below:

Top Terran Counter for Ultralisks – Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategies to Stop Them, Anti-Ultralisks Units
Looking on How to Best Counter Ultralisks with Terran? Here are the anti-ultralisk terran units to stop zerg :
- Marauders – A squad of Marauders, with their additional 10 damage bonus against armored units, will do pretty well against Ultralisk. Spread them out to prevent Ultralisk from taking full advantage of its splash cleave attack.
- Banshee – They can’t be harmed by Ultralisks, and they do significant, long range damage to ground units. Make a few extra banshees if your opponent is teching for Ultralisk.
- Battlecruisers – These can make fast work of the zerg powerhouse, and with the Yamato upgrade, it will finish off ultralisks. Each Yamato cannon does 300 damage, and kill ultralisk with 2 of these.
- Thor – Splash cleave attack of ultralisk is devastating against small ground units, but thors only take 20 damage per atack from ultralisk, but dealing 90 damage for every attack. This is almost 5 times more than what ultralisks do.
Also, don’t forget to always spread out your ground infantry units as much as possible when fighting ultralisk. This is to minimize its splash cleave attack.

Best Counter Corruptors with Terran – How to Stop Corruptor Shokz Starcraft 2 Terran Strategies
Looking on How to Best Counter Corruptors with Terran? Here are the anti-corruptor terran units to stop zerg :
- Marines – With their stimpack upgrade, they kill corruptors pretty fast, and they can’t be hit by corruptors.
- Raven – Corruptors have slow attack speed, and their point defense drone is great in stopping Corruptors.
- Thors – This is immune to corruptors, being a ground unit, plus its huge range of 10, it doubles the corruptors damage. They are the best counter for Corruptors.
- Vikings – They cost less resources than corruptors, but are better than them in every aspect. They do good damage against corruptors, because of the bonus damage vs armored units, and they have a good range of 9. And if your viking has low HP, you can switch them to ground mode before it is finished off by corruptors, and save that unit. They also have gerat mobility.

Best Counter Mutalisks with Terran – How to Stop Mutalisk Shokz Starcraft 2 Terran Strategies
Looking on How to Best Counter Mutalisks with Terran? Here are the anti-mutalisk terran units to stop zerg :
- Marines – They die pretty fast to mutalisks without their upgrades. But with Stim-pack & combat-shield upgraded, they are a very good counter against mutalisks.
- Thors – They have +4 damage against light units, and this grants Thor a solid damage versus Mutalisks. With their long range of 10, they kill mutalisks before opponent sees the thors. They also have high life, with 400 HP, so they can withstand a heavy mutalisk pack.
- Vikings – They do damage twice as much as the mutas, 20 damage per attack, while costing about the same resources. They can chase mutalisks with their great mobility and make opponent wish he hadn’t produced any.
- Battlecruisers – Teching to battlecruisers is very resource heavy, but they do fair well against heavy mutalisk forces. Use these battlecruisers if your enemy is going for mass mutalisks.

How To Best Counter Infestors with Terran – Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategies for Anti-Infestor
Infestors have 3 abilities :
- Infested terrans – Infestors spawn this at the target area, and targets air and ground. This lasts 20 seconds.
- Neural Parasite – The target unit is controlled by infestor for 10 seconds, but the infestor cannot take another action while in control of the target unit.
- Fungal growth – This immobilizes units in the target area and does 36 damage over 8 seconds. Burrowed and cloaked units are also revealed for a short time.
Looking on how to counter Zerg Infestors with Terran? Here are the best terran units to stop and fight Infestor :
- Ghosts – EMP shot drains all energy from infestors, and reveals them for 5 seconds. Look out on where they are burrowed, and do EMP shot on that area. When they are revealed, you have 5 seconds to destroy them.
- Ravens – These are great against infestors, and they(infestors) also move slowly, thus making it hard to dodge a hunter-seeker missile. Also be careful, since infestor can use neural parasite on ravens and nullify that tactic.
- Orbital Command – Always save some energy to scan, then destroy infestors fast before they turn your army against you.

Best Way to Counter Roaches with Terran – Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategies to Stop Zerg Roaches
Looking on how to counter Zerg Roaches with Terran? Here are the best terran units to stop and fight Roaches :
- Siege Tanks – Roaches heal quickly because of their health regeneration. Use tanks to bombard them before they get the chance to back off or burrow to regenerate. When not in siege mode, they do 15 + 10 damage to roaches, and they do also great in siege mode.
- Marauders – They have longer range than roaches and will also outgem them, dealing + 10 damage to armored units. They also have missiles to finish off low HP roaches before they escape. Also get an orbital command or a raven to detect burrowed units. This is the best early counter to zerg roaches.
- Raven – They bring 3 extreme advantage against roaches. First, roaches can’t hurt them because they fly. They are detectors, and this prevents roaches from burrowing and regenerating. Their hunter-seeker missle also deals a massive 100 damage in an area. This is enough to finish off roaches in mid fight before they burrow. To have a mass roach killing, also combine them with other infantry.
- Thor – They do massive 90 damage against ground units. They have huge life at 400 HP and are armored, so this allows them to tolerate a lot of punishment from roaches. But do pair them with other appropriate units such as marauders, sige tanks, and ravens.

How to Counter Banelings with Terran – Best Anti-Baneling Starcraft 2 Strategies & Stop Zerg Banelings Guide
Looking on how to counter zerg banelings with terran? Here are the best anti-banelings terran units and stop them :
- Marauders – They have a range of 6 and their concussive missiles slow movement speed of enemies. With proper micro, they can kill banelings before they get in range to explode. They are armored units so they only take 15 damage from the explosions of banelings. But they only deal 10 damage per attack to light units, so its best to pair them with other units like reapers.
- Siege tanks – They stop banelings in 1 hit while in siege mode even before they get anywhere near.
- Reapers – They kill zerg banelings with two shots, and with proper hit and run(kiting), they can get far away of banelings explosive range. They are light units, so they take full damage from banelings and can be quickly killed also if micro skills is not that good. Pair them with marauders to help with kiting, using concussive shot on the closest banelings to slow them down.
Also, you can do the hit and run, or kiting, and let one of your units lag behind to force the banelings to explode and only damage or take out 1 unit. Hellion is a great unit to sacrifice to banelings, with their 90HP. It will take 3 baneling explosion to kill a single Hellion, while doing nice damage to banelings. Their great mobility will make it easy to position them between the banelings and your infantry.

How to Counter Hydralisks with Terran – Best Anti-Hydralisk Starcraft 2 Strategies & Stop Hydras Guide
Here are the Terran units that works best against Hydralisks :
- Marines – In a 1 on 1 match-up, hydralisk kills marine. But mass marines is an excellent counter against hydralisks with combat shield upgrade or a single infantry armor upgrade. 3 marines will easily defeat 1 hydralisk while costing the same amount of resourcess and less building requirements.
- Ravens – 2 things make Raven great against hydralisks. First, Hunter-seeker Missile is great against stationary units, and hydralisks likes to stand and shoot, and they don’t move that quick. These missiles also does 100 damage, just enough to kill hydras with 1 shot. The point defense drone will also absorb many shots from hydralisks and save your troops a lot of damage.
- Siege Tanks – Now this is the best counter to hydralisks. They can kill several hydralisks while in siege mode. They also have a huge range, and splash damage.
- Reapers – They have additional damage to light units and they are mobile. They inflict 18 damage per attack against hydralisks, a lot better than what hydras do(they only do 12 dmg per attack), and they cost a lot less to make.

Top Terran Counter for Queen – Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategies to Stop Zerg, Anti-Queen Units
From the original starcraft, she retains her wings, she is now a ground-based one-of unit that focuses primarily on defense. They are able to fend off smaller attacks itself, and healing/engaging regular buildings to attack, and is the being the builder of the defense. They lay eggs that hatch into creep tumors – burrowed units that create creep around themselves. This allows beter positioning of defense, and other creep-related abilities.
The hive queen can also dig deep tunnels between zerg outposts, can also activate any building with smart infestation, make creep toxic to enemy units, and each evolution makes it more durable and stronger.
Now what are the anti-Queen Terran units, and how do you stop it? Here are the perfect units :
- Marauders – Marauders can take out quickly and easily with their long range and shots. A couple of these combined with reapers is the ideal way to combat the early queen gank squad.
- Reapers – They are great to harass drones and queens. They can climb nearest cliff, take a few shots, run away if the enemy sends heavy force, then come back again. Getting rid of a queen early with reapers is a huge step back to your opponent. Reapers can also do good damage against buildings.
- Ghosts – They do 45 damage to biological units, + 10 damage bonus with biological units. They can take out queen fast. Plus queens do very poor damage against ground units.
Keep also in mind that you should not build the above units just to counter 1 or 2 queens.

Top Terran Counter for Zerglings – Best Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategies to Stop Zerg Zergling
Zerglings are the breed of Zerg used for early game combat, scouting and cannon fodder. The StarCraft II version of the unit can also mutate into a Baneling, the suicide bombing Zergling. For early game combat, cannon fodder and scouting the map, Zerglings are the breed. They are primarily used early in the game, but they are also efficient almost anywhere at any time.
These are produced 2 at a time from 1 larva, because of their simple genetic structure. Although they are small, they possess razor-lined appendages, gnashing fangs and multiple claws making it a feared creature for its swarm and mass attack.
Now Zerglings have 2 abilities :
- Burrow – This is an active unit ability that some Zerg units possess or upgraded. This works like cloaking, with exception that most units cannot move while burrowed.
- Morph to Banelings – Morph them to banelings and use them as suicide bombers.
Now if you are a terran, you can counter and stop mass Zerglings by using these units :
- Hellion – does massive AoE damage against swarms of zergling and and also good to use against them because of their +5 damage to light units, that includes zerglings 2 or 3 hellions can together stop several Zerglings simultaneously everytime they shoot.
You can also use micro, because of their incredible movement speed, they can run away, then fire, then run away again. Now this is the best anti-zerglings counter of terran.
- Marines + Bunker or Walling – Not as good as the one above, but this is also a good option if your opponent tries an early Zergling rush before you get the chance to tech for Reapers or Hellions. Terran simply wall off their entry point, then place marines behind them and shoot the zerglings.
- Reaper – Dealing 2 x (4 dmg + 5 dmg vs light) = 18 dmg to Zerlings for every shoot they take, and they also shoot fast.They lack AoE and not that fast in movement, but they can also do really well, especially with a ledge nearby for some hit and cliff jump harassment.
