Void Rays and Vikings in particular can ruin your Battlecrusier’s day. The laser on the Battlecruiser is less effective against air. The main weakness of the Battlecrusier is other air units.
The Yamato does 300 damage and is an excellent way of using the Battlecrusier to take out similarly strong enemy units - Protoss Carriers and Motherships come to mind. If he has dedicated himself to a ground push he’ll probably have to respond with a mass of anti-air ground units, but you can ruin his day if you already have some Siege Tanks ready to go.īattlecruisers can be upgraded with the devastating Yamato Cannon. Battlecrusiers can also really throw off the unit mix of your fellow Terran or Zerg players. The obligatory defense of one missile turret of cannon used to discourage Banshee harassment just doesn’t work against Battlecrusiers. The biggest advantage of the Battlecruiser simply comes from the fact that players rarely have the anti-air capability to defend against them well. Heavily armed and armored, and capable of defending itself against both air and ground attack, the Battlecrusier can be used as a flagship of your force or as a super-heavy expansion attack unit. The Terran Battlecruiser is an expensive but extremely powerful late game unit. BattlecruiserĪttack: Ground 8 / Air 6 (Very fast fire rate) Despite this disadvantage, the Banshee is one of the most effective Terran units for harassment. It receives a bonus to attack against light units and is capable of attacking while on the move. Obviously, the Banshee’s lack of air-to-air weapons makes it very vulnerable to other air units. It also is powerful as support to your ground armies, since enemy anti-air won’t be able to attack your Banshees unless they bring a mobile detector (and most players don’t). This ability is very powerful against anyone who has not remembered to make good use of detectors. A rushing two-gate Protoss focusing on Zealots, for example, will be a good candidate for Banshee counter-attack.īanshees can also cloak when the appropriate tech is researched. Obviously, this works best against players who haven’t built much anti-air. “Banshee rush” is a popular Terran harassment strategy in which a Terran player builds one or two Banshees and immediately sneaks them into an enemy’s resource line to kill workers. The Banshee is a fast gunship which is dedicated to harassing enemies which do not have a good anti-air defense set up.
