The Mutalisk can be countered in a number of ways. Phoenix, stalker, Sentry’s guardian shield, high templar’s psionic storm and archon are the most common ways by which you can either counter or reduce the effect of the attack of the Mutalisks. But the most common way to combat the mutalisk that the protoss unit has at their hand is employing the phoenix.

The phoenix has the following advantages over the mutalisks which are the following

1. They are faster than the Mutalisk.
2. They have a range which is longer than the Mutalisk.
3. The phoenix can do a damage of 20 in comparison to the damage that it suffers of only 9 per attack.
4. The phoenix can fire while it is on the run with precision.
5. The firing time between two rounds is also shorter when compared with that of the mutalisks.

Hence we can see that a properly made phoenix unit is no comparison as compared to a mutalisk unit and a very small number of phoenixes can successfully tackle a large army comprising of mutalisks.

Other protoss counters are protoss stalkers and protoss archon. The protoss archon is generally more powerful than the stalkers or the phoenix unit as they also own mutalisks when they are stacked but the only disadvantage that they have is that they lack quick mobility and are shorter in range as compared to the above units.

Generally it would take you some time in order to build phoenix units and in case if you don’t have the adequate number of phoenixes at hand then you can well make a unit comprising of the protoss stalkers in order to combat the mutalisks. With the blink upgrade, they do well against the mutalisks but require a little more skill of the player.

Hence there are a number of protoss counters against the mutalisk units and although they are very tough to combat, they are not quite invincible. With a little amount of expertise it is very easy to set up a unit to combat the mutalisks.
