Starcraft 2 Terran Counters Guide

Finding good Starcraft 2 Terran counters is hard. In my opinion, the Terran race is by far the hardest race to counter in Starcraft 2. They have a lot of balanced units and can be pretty tough to beat

Below, you will find a Starcraft 2 Terran counters list. What I have done is list each Terran unit, and then next to it have listed what unit you should build in order to defeat the Terran unit in question.

The table below does not list what Terran units are strong against. Please see the second table for that information. The list below will tell you what to build when fighting against Terran players.

For example, in the "Marine" column, units under each race heading tell you what to build in order to defeat Marines. In the "Protoss Counter" column next to "Marine", you will find the Sentry and Colossus. Both these units do very well versus Marines.

With that said, on with the Starcraft 2 Terran Counters list (Terran Unit Weaknesses):

Terran Unit	Protoss Counter	Terran Counter	Zerg Counter
Marine	Sentry Colossus	Siege Tank Hellion	Roach Ultralisk Brood Lord
Marauder	Immortal Void Ray Zealot	Siege Tank Banshee	Hydralisk Mutalisk Brood Lord
Reaper	Stalker Photon Cannon	Marauder Hellion	Roach Spine Crawler
Ghost	Stalker	Siege Tank	Roach Ultralisk
Hellion	Stalker	Marauder Thor	Roach Mutalisk
Siege Tank	Immortal Void Ray Phoenix	Banshee	Brood Lord Mutalisk
Thor	Immortal	Siege Tank Marauder Battlecruiser	Zergling Hydralisk Brood Lord
Banshee	Phoenix Void Ray	Viking Thor	Mutalisk Corruptor
Viking	Stalker	Thor	Hydralisk
Raven	Stalker	Viking Thor	Corruptor
Medivac	Any anti-air unit	Any anti-air unit	Any anti-air unit
Battlecruiser	Void Ray Sentry	Viking	Corruptor

In this second table, you will find what each Terran unit is strong against. This is for Terran players to use. You should see what unit your enemy is building (look in the columns sorted by race) and then build whatever Terran unit is strong against that.

For example, on the "Marauder" line, it is listed as countering the Roach. If your enemy is Zerg and builds Roaches, you should build Marauders. This chart details Terran Unit Strengths.

Terran Unit	Counters Protoss	Counters Terran	Counters Zerg
Marine	Void Ray Immortal	Marauder Thor	Corruptor
Marauder	Zealot Immortal	Hellion Thor	Roach
Reaper	Zealot Sentry	Marine	Zergling
Ghost	Immortal All units!	Marine	Hydralisk Zergling
Hellion	Zealot Sentry	Marine	Zergling Hydralisk
Siege Tank	Stalker Sentry Colossus	Marine Hellion Thor	Hydralisk Roach Baneling
Thor	Phoenix Colossus	Viking Banshee	Mutalisk Corruptor
Banshee	Immortal Colossus Zealot	Siege Tank Marauder	Roach Zergling
Viking	Void Ray Carrier	Banshee Raven	Brood Lord
Raven	Massed Units	Massed Units	Massed Units
Medivac	n/a	n/a	n/a
Battlecruiser	Zealot Immortal Colossus	Marine Marauder Siege Tank	Hydralisk Zergling Roach

With these two tables detailing Starcraft 2 Terran counters, you should be in a good place both to win while playing Terran and when playing against Terran players in Starcraft 2.

If you are really struggling versus Terran players. I would recommend printing out these charts and placing them somewhere near your computer. You could then reference them whenever you get beat by a particular unit so you will know what to build for next time.

Learning all of the Starcraft 2 Terran counters can take some time, so be patient. With practice, this will all come naturally and you will know exactly what you need to build in order to win games.
