Are Protoss units better than Terran?
Protoss units are individually superior. Building up the mechanized tree tends to produce more effective counters; terran infantry, even using the marines and medics combinations, tend to be too fragile, and useful mainly on the defensive. Detection is required to ward off observers and dark templar starting in the mid-game.
How many factories should a Terran have in mid game?
The Terran should be able to produce units from 4 to 6 Factories (depending on the timing) and push quickly towards either the Protoss natural or 3rd base. These are three primary options when attempting the mid-game push:
How do you use a Terran Wraith effectively?
Combined with a dropship, a terran can quickload a tank before it takes damage, then unload it. However, this trick requires experience to pull off. When it comes to aerial battles, Wraiths are the main unit to use against other protoss air units for protoss have the weakest late-game detection.
How to deal with Protoss using observers?
Unless the protoss player uses redundant observers, the terran now has a window of opportunity to attack with impunity. If the protoss are using Arbiters, bringing out the Valkyries (supported by Wraiths) may help, as their missiles’ random-targeting seems to ignore Arbiters’ cloaking fields, hitting whatever is hiding there anyway.
How do you counter Protoss push?
The key to ending the game in this stage is an effective counter to the Protoss push-breaking tools: Shuttles with Zealot “bombs” or Reavers. Terran must push quickly enough to prevent Protoss from finding a weakness in the push but slowly enough to prevent getting caught unsieged.
When do you move out of the Terran factory?
The Terran will move out once the two new Factories complete with SCVs, a few Vultures, and six to eight Tanks while maintaining Vulture production. This build is meant to punish the Protoss for being greedy before the Protoss begins producing Zealots with the Leg Enhancements upgrade.
