Thor vs Protoss? lol gg

We don't even know if succubi will be actual units.

 

Succubi are confirmed as fake from Karune himself.

 

Thor, has too many weakend parts first of all is the Agility of the Thor, it is useless against the fast and small units like, the Zealots.

 

Okay, I skipped most of the thread so forgive me if I've posted something similar to someone else. Buuut:

Warprays arent the capital ship anymore right? They prolly got nerfed into lower hp and stats, and really, since Thor has AA, the warpway isn't a feasible option. They'd have to fly around him to attack him but that totally defeats the purpose of a steady stream of attack. If any toss air unit will counter thor it'll be the carrier.

 

warprays stats didnt change, i dont think. and they were never high, so a bunch of warp rays focusing on a thor is still an option, as they would do severe damage to it, and they have superior range.

 

I just hope that the Carrier won´t overshadow any other Aircraft again. But rather than nerfing it directly they could increase the effectivyness off the counters. For example make the Predator really good at shooting down interceptors or something.

 

The Thor is not a superunit and has many counters if sent in alone, which is what the original post seemed to be pointing towards. If anybody sent a Thor in alone or with very little ground support that player deserves to watch horrified as those units get pulverized. Thor is meant to be used in other ways than a super unit such as artillery support for armies and to tank for other units (in my opinion).

 

Isn't in the Protoss Demo SC2, they mensioned that the Protoss Warp Rays are very effective against heavy Armored Enemy Units so i think Protoss Warp Rays are very effective against the Terran Thor heavy Armored

 

neg commander. They said high hp units because the warprays damage increases over time.

 

The counters for the Thor are pretty glaring and obvious.

Protoss can use the Immortal. Shock absorber? 10 damage no matter what it does? R0x0r s0x0r.

The Zerg will undoubtedly have something to counter it as well.

As for the Terran, just use another Thor!

 

zerglings will mush thors, so many of them can attack a single thor at the same time, and zergling's damage per second is right up there with the best

 

There's also the banelings. Just rush them in and blow it to pieces.

 

Stalkers, if microd, can blink around the Thor. Would be time consuming if the Stalker has a slow/weak rate of fire, but would certainly work. Warp Rays will own the Thor if you have a single Thor against a few (4-6) Warp Rays. Lockdown would completely own Thor if the ability is ever brought back for Ghosts or any other unit. Mothership will rip Thor a new one.

 

It would take quite a large number of Stalkers to bring down a Thor, even with good micro and blink. Blink has a cool down of about 4-5 seconds, during which the Thor could take down or at least damage a Stalker. Neither can Stalkers do the same thing as the Cobra, as they can't attack while moving, and are not fast enough to stop to shoot. While Stalkers have a relatively high attack, you would need at least twelve Stalkers, possibly more, to bring those 700 hp to 0.

 

Yeah there's a few good way's but the best is with my friend's...the...immortal's!!! ;D but yeah honestly 7 immortal's will own 2 thor's in a very little matter of time becuase I trust my immortal's and zealot's to own the enemy and also some colouses and some phenoxes...Going to play C&C 3 , NOD rules

 

Very good points Wlck742!

I figured that it would take many Stalkers to take down a Thor, and the micro management would be near impossible, but thought I would post the possibility anyways. I somehow totally forgot about the cool down period for the blink ability.

Cross off Stalkers .

About four or five Warp Rays with a few Immortals theoretically seems to be a pretty good combination.

 

A good combo is around 12-20 zealots and 2-3 colouses and some immortals! and iff You want possibly some phenixes.

 

Haven't you never played the game Starcraft before?

 

Me? , No I haven't but I've played the demo and it's kinda...badish but they have no excuse (blizzard) because a year later someone (i forgot sorry) made battlezone2 which is great I prefere it over halo!!!

 

personally i think charging zealots would do the job
