Starcraft 2 Roach Counter - How to Stop Roaches As Protoss, Terran, and Zerg



Although many players are afraid Roach rush, the truth is that this technique is really easy to stop. In this article, I will discuss the best ways for each race to carry Starcraft 2 Roach counter.

There are many options when it comes to the fight against Roach. Whenever I think of the unit count in Starcraft 2, it is important to think about unit strengths and weaknesses. Here is a look at Roach:

Roach Benefits

- HP High number (145)
- High damage output (18 damage per attack to the fast timer)
- 1 Armor

Roach Weaknesses

- the slow-speed
- Short range (only "3", most ranged units have a range of "5" or more)
- Belongs to the "armored" class
- You can not attack air units

When you look at Roach this way, it does not seem that intimidating at all. With this information in hand, I'll give you the best Starcraft 2 Roach counter available for each race.

Terran Roach Counter

Marauder is the best Starcraft 2 Roach meter terana.Bonus Marauder deals damage to armored units, has an attack that slows down, and there are several series of attacks by Roach. As a result, it can actually kill a Marauder Roach without getting hit!

If you are on offense, you will want to do is attack Roach from the range of 5 After being slowed down, move your Marauders of the cockroaches, so you're always keeping cockroaches out of your Marauders' range. Every few steps, stop the Marauders, let them get an attack off, and then fled.

If you're on defense, you can literally take a whole army of cockroaches with only a few Marauders. Because cockroaches are short range, the wall of your base with Supply warehouse and their barracks. Stack a few Marauders behind these buildings and your Marauders will be able to kill cockroaches, kill roaches while building to attack the Marauders. This is simply a victory for the Terran player.

Zerg Roach Counter

Zerg have the hardest time trying to pull out of Starcraft 2 counter.Zerg Roach is the only unit that deals bonus damage to armored units Ultralisk, which takes too long to bi.Najbolji bet is to either 1) build their own cockroaches or 2) build a spine crawlers and technology to Mutalisks.

The Roach short attack range, they are able to avoid the spine crawlers that are placed next to the hatchery. Moreover, the enemy is not likely to build a more cockroaches air units in the game, so on the basis of just getting Mutalisks and counter Roach.

Protoss Roach Counter

Contrary to popular opinion, the Protoss are able to easily against Roach rush. What do you want to do is build up your Gateway, pylon, and Cybernetics center near the entrance to their base. You should almost wall of your base (to leave enough space for one unit to pass). At this point, build a few stalkers and guards.

What I do not want to do is get the zealots. Zealots are very weak compared to cockroaches and should honestly be avoided if you were able to scout and see the enemy is building roaches.

When an enemy attacks with cockroaches, the ability to use force fields Sentry to block the entrance to its small base. Your stalkers can certainly attack and kill the roaches behind the force field. With only 4 guards, you can keep your force field for 1 minute (longer with more energy )!

During this phase of procrastination, build 2 robots and then build facilities besmrtnika.Immortal dealing with large amounts of bonus damage to armored units (Roach's armored units). An Immortal can not win 4 cockroaches in combat as Immortal Roach can kill in 2 shots ! Build a few immortals and counter Zerg player with a few immortals, stalkers, and guards. This should be easy to win!
