Starcraft 2 Terrain Counter Unit Strategy

If we want to learn how to use the correct units for Terrain counter as a Terrain player, the Starcraft 2 Terrain guide teaches us the basics of countering while playing against Protoss and Zerg. This is a general Starcraft 2 guide which contains an overview of the units for Terrain counter.

While playing against a Zerg player, the Zerg throws various units at us. One of them is the Zerglings attack. The Hellion is the correct Terrain counter unit to be used for this attack because it can cause damage to the groups of units on the ground like the Zergling. Another attack used by the Zerg is the combo of Hydro and Roach. The best unit of Terrain counter for this attack is the combo of Thor and Tank as they destroy the attack of Zerg. The last attack by a Zerg player may be a Mutalisk attack. To face this attack, we can build Marines and Vikings with the help of a Star port.

While we play against a protoss player, we must find a combo of Zealot and Stalker. A good counter of Terrain unit for Protoss is the combo of Tank and Thor. We must make sure that we have some Marines to protect the tanks. The Protoss player can also try Colossus or Immortals. We can use Thors to take out Colossus because the Colossus does not damage the large units. We can use Marines and Hellions to destroy the Immortals. We must keep our Thors and Tanks away from the Immortal as it can take down the large units. In the end, he can use Void rays and the Terrain counter unit to prevent this. By building few Vikings, we can easily take the Void rays out.

After learning these Terrain counter units, we can easily beat even a Zerg player or a Diamond ladder Protoss.
