The Terran Ghost is a powerful spell caster that Terran players can use to do a variety of special attacks against their opponents. They are especially good at countering opposing spell casters like Infestors and High Templar. Learn their stats and the upgrades available to Terran Ghosts here.StatsWhen first trained, a Ghost has 100 hit points and 50 energy. Their armor value is 0 so they are fairly vulnerable.

The Starcraft ProtossOn the battlefield, you will notice the Protoss race is hard to defeat in one on one skirmishes. The bottom line is, they were built with a knack for war. Their bodies are capable of handling harsh temperatures and conditions, their speed and agility are difficult to match, and their technology is supernatural. They typically support small platoons with advanced robotic units and powerful psionic energies. In battles...more
The Terran vs Terran matchup is one of the most dreaded games for many Terran players. This is because most Terran vs Terran games end up being huge Viking battles with a few tanks. So in an effort to win the air war the players will get 4 Starports with reactors and just endlessly pump Vikings until they're out of resources. These games get very boring and quite tedious so they aren't exciting at all.I've been looking for new ways to play the Terran vs Terran matchup in an attempt to end the monotony. One strategy that I'm very eager to try once the game finally comes out is the early Thor against other Terran players. Thors are extremely powerful early in the game because of their high hp and damage.A single Thor will one-shot Marines, SCV's and can kill Tanks and Marauders in just 3 shots. What makes them even better is the fact that they can be repaired by SCV's while they're in battle or after a quick retreat. So when you move out with your first Thor, be sure to send 6-8 SCV's or so to keep it alive efficiently.The strength in the Thor rush is the speed that you get it out onto the battlefield. If you are quick enough, your opponent will simply not have enough forces to push...more

Rinse and repeat if necessary. Often, laughably, you'll find that your opponent has sent half a dozen units to your base in a pre-emptive strike which your newly created marines will crush easily and then you'll be blowing his undefended base to smithereens.Starcraft 2 Terran Marine Rush Tactic - The Quickest Way To Terran Victory By: Melvolio...more
The Terrans in Starcraft 2 are without a doubt one of the weakest races in the beginning of the game. Marines have so few hitpoints and bad mobility so they will quickly die to zerglings unless you have awesome micro skills. So to keep yourself alive against early zerg rushes, be sure to wall yourself in at your main base's choke point.A popular strategy used to be to use 1 Barracks and 2 Supply Depots to complete the wall off at your choke point. While this technique might work ok against Protoss, it's less effective against Zerg. This is because banelings pose a huge threat at your front door if you have any supply depots.Depots are fragile with only 350 hit points so it only takes 5 banelings to blow one up. Even worse is if there are 2 depots right next to each other, the splash damage will destroy them both! Then a whole stream of zerglings can get through that opening and flood your base, which means an early loss.Instead, use a Barracks and a Factory to wall yourself in. That way you won't get supply blocked by an easy depot kill, and your wall will be much stronger since both buildings have over 1000 hit points.If you are expecting a Baneling bust, complete the wall by...more
Many Zerg players will expand very early and get two bases up and running even before they have a spawning pool. This can be a very bad thing to be up against as a Terran player since it means they will have a better economy than you almost right...more
