Effective Counters to Mass Marines with Protoss – Starcraft 2 Strategies Guide on How to Stop Marines
Looking on how to Counter Mass Marines with Protoss? You will find some info below.
The Marine is very similar in both StarCraft and StarCraft II, but in addition to previous upgrades and abilities, they can now also get a combat shield to increase their total hit points. This is a unit that can be used throughout any StarCraft Game, used in different ways depending on where the player is in the tech tree. Combining Marines with Medics (SC1) or Medivac Dropships (SC2) will make them a long-lasting, powerful threat. Together with their StimPacks, they will tear holes in any attack force or defensive installment.
Zealot – these rip marines apart pretty much
Colossus – Highest sustained DPS
High Templar’s Psionic Storm – Best burst DPS against Marines
Dark Templar – Use along with the rest of your army if he has no Ravens, and he might not notice that you have DTs at all, and may never scan to take them out
These must be executed pretty well anyway, there’s no “easy” counter.
1) fast dt
2) speedlots
3) stalkers + probes (defend the timing attack)
5. good sentry play, you need to be able to split the terran army in half by good force field placement.
But it’s all about scouting of course(it’s not that easy of course), all depends on how much of which units the opponent does and what map you play. If you know they are going for 4 barracks, then you should go for 4 warpgates.
