Top SC2 Protoss Counter for Hydralisks – Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategies to Stop Zerg, Anti-Hydralisk Units
The starcraft gaming field presents the most exciting gaming experience to its player with the ever powerful teams of the enigmatic protoss, the terrans and the insectoids zergs, playing against each other for dominance and existence of their species. With the introduction of starcraft 2 with multiplayer facility, this game has become much more interesting than its older version. This game depicting a war between the 3 parties in a far away planet of the milky way, takes the players and viewers into an entirely new, ferocious and wonderful war field. In order to win the game you need full strategy and technical knowledge about the units of each team.
A fierce situation and havoc is created when the mighty protoss come face to face to the witty zergs in the battlefield. Zergs have powerful organic units on their favor, and one of them is the Zerg Hydralisks. Hydralisks are the main front-line creature, which forms backbone of zergs by its resisting carapace as well as ranged spine attacks. Hydralisks are known to attack directly with scythe-like arms and they strike volleys of armour-piercing spines from a distance. Hydralisks generally move sluggishly over the battlefield, but they burrow and wait for the enemies to come within range to attack, and then it kills its enemy in a fierce crossfire. Despite their slow and sluggish nature, they can climb surfaces vertically.
Every team is believed to have the best counter for each unit of the opponent team. The best counters of protoss for zerg hydralisks are:-
- SENTRY- Guardian Shield is best to avoid mass hydralisks. 2 shields should be used against mass hydras for destroying them completely.
- ZEALOT- proves to be the best fighter against hydras, but they become weak once a critical mass is hit by hydras. A group of zealots are needed to take all the firings of hydras to protect the rest protoss unit. If protected by guardian shields and with psi storms as back up, the protoss will surely win the game.
- COLOSSUS - it is the best sustained protoss against hydras. They are needed for their survivalability.
- HIGH TEMPLAR – psionic storms stand and shoot and are quite powerful in disturbing and hurting the hydras.
- DARK TEMPLAR – 2 of them are needed to destroy a hydralisk, but this strategy will only work if the opponent is not aware of the perma cloak.
With continued evolution hydralisks have become quite stronger and the protoss need witty strategy and gaming skills to defend them.
