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.
