Countering Banshees with Protoss – Best Way On How to Counter Banshee Strategies Guide
About Banshees :
They can quickly destroy buildings, even powering through anti-air defenses. Other races may deploy specialized anti-air units like corruptors and phoenixes to keep them in check. Ground unit counters include marines, thors, hydralisks, stalkers equipped with blink and high templar psionic storms. Banshees bank on turns like some other air units.
It’s going to sound crazy but stalker/high templar will work wonders. Stalkers will be able to wreck Vikings if your enemy builds these, and HTs can Feedback the banshees for massive damage. Just spam feedback on every banshee in sight and they will take massive damage, and be unable to cloak.
Blink micro is good against air, especially SLOW air like banshees. Toss in a few shoot-on-the-run Pheonix’ and you’ll own early game/mid game air.
Here are descriptions of Protoss Anti-Banshees Units:
- Stalker – Beats Banshees by far on a cost basis, but requires detection
- High Templar’s Feed back – Can instantly kill or damage a banshee, and prevents a banshee from cloaking
