Probably the strongest unit in the game and the reason why so many people think the Terran is overpowered. For example, Terran can build this unit from basically the start of the game. The Protoss counter to the Marauder is Colossi, which are really high up the tech tree (need to get a Gateway, Cybernetics Core, Robotics Facility and also a Robotics Bay before you can build a Colossus; Marauder only requires a Tech-lab add-on to your Barracks). If you're playing Zerg, you basically don't have any good counter for the Marauders.. maybe using fungal growth with Infestors, but that requires like a Hive tech or something pretty high as well. I guess mutalisks would also work, but they die real quick to marines which any half-decent Terran player will always have in his army. Hydras are alright against Marauders but not exactly low-tech. Brood Lords would do well, but they are, once again, at the top of the tech tree.


They're fun to use, but not useful at all except for rushing Zerg players. Stalkers kill them very easily.


Yeah, Vikings are awesome.


Not utilized enough in my opinion.


lol, they are pretty baller


Yeah, and I love how the ai of the attacking units attacks the broodlings instead of the Brood Lords lol


Yes, they are really good if you put them behind your main army and have the range upgrade.


Yeah, but takes forever to build and costs so much. It is pretty fun though.


Possibly my favorite unit. They are really good once you get them fully charged. Before that, they're not really good at all.


They are essential at keeping the Marauders rush from running up your ramp until you can get some colossi.


Yeah, but this queen is way better and way more useful.


Yeah, I really hated those things. The plague could really swing the odds in the Zerg favor even if he was badly outnumbered. Now there is fungal growth through the infestors, which is more fun and less unfair.


Psi storm has definitely been weakened (can't even kill a ghost now with 1 storm lol), but I wouldn't say they are useless. They shred marines and marauders pretty well and crush basically all zerg units. Archons are a lot less useful now, but still they're free once you get the templar lol. And also, the feedback ability is essential when facing off against ghosts or infestors, even medvacs. Also good against units like the Thor, battlecruisers, etc. which have lots of energy stored up and high HP.


Yeah that was a fun unit.


Well, in most of my Starcraft games, I play as Protoss so I'm most familiar with their units

Stalker - pretty good, especially with Blink. Destroys Roaches and basically all air units.

Carriers - not as useful as before.

Phoenix - I really like this unit's ability to pick up ground units and destroy them. Especially good against siege tanks.

Immortals - pretty good against the high damage units (tanks, ultralisks), but dies easily to bunch of marines

Dark Templar - really disappointed with this one. The Dark Shrine takes eons to build and detection is a dime a dozen in SC2, especially for Terran. I basically never use Dark Templar. They're at the top of the tech tree but they are actually only useful in the early game.

Chrono Boost - I really like this feature.

Observers - is it just me or are they a lot slower in SC2, and have much less vision?

Warp Prism - not really that useful, but definitely better than the shuttle.

Reavers - thank god they're not in SC2
