Starcraft Terran Strategy – Beating Mutalisks

Starcraft Terran Strategy - Beating Mutalisks  | read this item

These are by far the most common of the Zerg aerial units.  When they are finally produced, Zerg Mutalisks are most likely to be massed over and over.  They move fast, hit air and ground, and are easy to produce.  En masse, they can spell trouble for most units.

The Terran do have a few tools that can hit Mutalisks.  The issue becomes that the Zerg players normally masses this unit and will take a bit of time to get them all down.  That means more losses for you while you take them out.  However, Terran have probably the most perfect weapon when it comes to dealing with them.

The Thor is a heavy mech unit that is usually not seen till mid to late game.  They’re expensive to build, but can devastate a mass aerial attack.  It’s main anti-air weapons have bonuses against light units such as Zerg Mutalisks and a small splash damage area.  That’s perfect for the massed Mutalisk push you’re likely to see.

What other units do you prefer when facing Mutalisks.

    The definite answer is Marines, not Thor. Unlike SC, Mutalisks cant dance & harrass with Marines. Just dont get caught outnumbered.

    Thor is not very effective against Mutas, but its splash damage and range scares the opponent and force to retreat. (Including me, to be honest. I heard lots of Z players take Thors down with scattering their Mutas, but not me.)
