| Protoss: vs. terran: Most people think terran is the easiest race to beat with protoss. There is a couple of cheap effective ways to beat terran but it is also risky. You could cannon rush terran before they get marines and if it works. Then he will have a hard time killing your cannons with marines. Have some zealot support just in case. the risky part is you will wast time and minerals if it doesn't work and your base would be open for attack. Another way to beat terran easly is a 3 or 4 zealot rush right after you find him. It has to be fast before he can get firebats and stimpack upgrade though. If he has bunkers you can take out whatever is not protected by the bunker and creat time for you to build up. Before you attack it would be wise to get 1 or 2 gas going. If he gets the firbats and stimpack It would be wise to get some cannons, you will have to go for some DTs also. Don't even try to challenge firbats cause they will roast zealots. DT is very affective against terran in the beggining cause alot of players forget or just don't get an observer when they attack early. Sometimes they don't even make turrets in their base and thats when you win easly. It's wise to keep producing zealots while you build incase a good terran player is piling up tanks right outside your base with turrets for detection. Those zealots will come in handy with DT's. One very important thing, Temps work great on a bunch of marines and tanks. So If someone has some tanks firing at your cannons with marines protecting them, send your zealots first. When the zealots attack they will get hit along with eveything els around them. Send your DT's beghind your zealots and your temps following them. Then storm the hell out of everything, that always works for me. I would not recammend goons too early. Tanks and marines will tear them up if you don't have many of them. And they can be very expensive early in the game. Until you build up alittle more then goons might work. The thing that is really affective against a good terran tank happy player, is drops on their minerals. DT's or reevers. Alot of players are so occupied trying to set up tanks in front of your base they forget about their own. This is where you can take andvantage, even with recall. If you are the carrier type, then that can also be very affective against terran. But have some Corsair with your carriers to demolish wraith and desruption web upgrade for goliaths and tanks. They make a good combo. If you see some BC's coming your way you can use your arbiter's stasis field or high templers to help take them out. "Oh" and watch out for them nukes! |
