Protoss vs Terran Strategy – Countering the Battlecruisers & The Best Strategies To Stop These
These Protoss Units won’t work :
- Pheonixes. Not meant to fight heavy air targets
- Carriers. Low HP / shields, weak armor. Potentially more expensive than BC’s, and can’t even meet their damage output on an individual target basis. Carriers are meant to counter masses of units and overwhelm static defenses.
Battlecruisers need to be overwhelmed to beat. Since they take quite literally the whole terran tech tree to get you also need to think on that scale
Protoss Battlecruiser Counter Units :
- Sentry’s guardian shield – Reduces BC DPS by a great deal
- High Templar’s Feed back – Can instantly deal great damage to a BC
- Void ray – counter to the BC, when fully charged
Void rays seemed to tear battlecruisers assuming there weren’t other units to kill the void rays. This is a soft counter against the Battlecruiser; it does well versus Battlecruisers but the fight is certainly not in great favor of the Void Rays.
The best protoss hard counters for Battlecruiser:
Protoss players have the toughest time against Battlecruisers. They actually do best by combining units like the Stalker or Void Ray with the Sentry. The Sentry’s Guardian Shield ability significantly reduces Battlecruiser damage, making air units practically impervious to the Battlecruiser’s attack.
