starcraft-2

Yesterday, a friend won 3 plays with this strategy :

The fourth, he stopped because he was bored of beating me this way…

Since it's not possible to built tower defense all around the base, does anyone know a good Terran defense against this strategy ?

Thanks

  • The most important thing: Map awareness! Figure out what route he can take to get into your base with the warp prism have have a unit there to give you sight. That way you can move your army in place to wait for him by the time he reaches you.
  • Usually this strategy involves mineral line harassment. So a good counter would be to have some marines hanging back to defend your mineral line.
  • A very common follow up to mineral line harassment is when you panic and send your entire army back to defend your main, his main army attacks your natural. What can you do? Keep calm and only send what's needed to deal with it. Remember that you not only need to repel your attack but destroy the warp prism to stop (or at least delay) subsequent harassment.
