This page contains a complete guide to all the Terran units in Starcraft 2. We will start with a discussion on Terran unit mechanics, descrbing the unique aspects of Terran units in Starcraft 2.

The next section and bulk of this page consists of 3 tables. The first table will provide a list of units and their associated cost, build time, prerequisites, and the production that produces them.

The second tables covers the stats, damage dealt, movement speed, armor, number of attacks, and bonus damage modifiers of each Terran unit.

The third table discusses each of the Terran unit's abilities as well as provides a list of the technology that can be researched to upgrade particular Terran units.

The guide is then wrapped up with a section on common unit compositions, revealing the best synergies between units so that would-be Terran players can create balanced and effective armies.

Terran Unit Mechanics

The health of Terran units is referred to as its life. Terran units are the only race which does not have innate regeneration capacity - damage dealt to Terran units will not heal over time. The only exception to this is the Reaper, as this unit will heal over time.

Instead of passive regeneration, Terran player's are able to restore the health of their units through either the Medivac or the SCV. The Medivac possess a skill, 'Heal', which can be used to heal friendly units. One point of Medivac energy is drained for every 3 Life points restored. Medivacs only are able to heal biological targets and only one Medivac may heal a single unit at the same time.

Mechanical units can have their health restored via the SCV's repair skill. This skill requires the SCV to be in melee range of the target and the SCV is completely occupied while performing its repair function. Repair restores unit's health based on build time. A full repair from 1 health to full requires approximately the same amount of time as it does to train the targeted unit. For example, a Battlecruiser, which takes 90 seconds to build, will require 90 seconds to repair from 1 health back to full life.

Repair costs money and is based on the amount of damage sustained. The Terran pays 1% of the unit's original cost for every 4% of health restored via repair. If a unit costs 100 minerals, repairing it from 1 health to full health will cost 25 minerals.

Unlike the Medivac's heal ability, multiple SCVs can repair the same target at the same time, increasing the rate of the repair. SCVs can be set to repair automatically by selecting the SCV you want to do the repairing and then right clicking on the repair icon.

In the table below, you will find a list of all the Starcraft 2 Terran units along with the unit type, health, movement speed, armor, damage, damage bonuses, number of attacks, attack speed, and range for all the Terran units in Starcraft 2. This table includes Heart of the Swarm units. Attacks denote both ground and anti-air attacks unless otherwise noted.

Terran Units: Abilities and Research Upgrades

Like all races, many Terran units have access to a variety of abilities in addition to just their default attacks. Some of these skills are always unlocked whereas others have to be researched before they can be used during a match. Additionally, there are a variety of upgrades available that can provide increase the strength of certain Terran units. Below, you will find a chart detailing all of these abilities and rsearch upgrades.

Common Terran Unit Combinations

Players of all races need to be able to be able to create synergistic armies. Good army combinations help cover up the weaknesses of particular units as well as increase the overall strength of your army.

There are a large number of possible unit combinations you can use in Starcraft 2. The successful Terran army combinations are not limited to the combinations mentioned below, but this guide will help you get started with creating a balanced and effective army.

Early Game Armies

The early game army choices of the Terran player are quite flexible and race dependent. Against Zerg, Terran players almost always open with either Reapers or Hellions. These units provide the Terran with map control, allowing the Terran to pick off scouting Zerglings. Sometimes Terrans will try to punish Zerg players who expand too quickly by opening with a few fast Barracks and using Marines with Bunkers. This too is a viable strategy.

Against other Terrans, virtually all early game combinations you can think of remain effective. Proxy Reapers, early Marine aggression, rushing to Banshees and Hellbat or Hellion drops are all considered viable tactics in the early game. Terran players often open with 1 Barracks, 1 Factory, and 1 Starport against other Terran players for that reason.

Against Protoss players, Terran players typically try to get out a number of Marines or rush straight for the Widow Mine. This helps the Terran fend off any Oracle harass attacks which are incredibly common. Marines in small numbers are weak against even a single well-microed Stalker, so Terran players often get a Bunker up to prevent Stalker harass from doing too much damage.

Mid Game Armies

By the mid game, Terran armies typically incorporate all 3 primary tech structures. The three primary army compositions are full Bio, Bio Mech, and full Mech. Full bio builds consist primarily of Marines and Marauders but at a minimum need to incorporate Medivacs. Medivacs are very strong for Marines and Marauders as it allows the Terran to use Stimpack many times without the downside of losing health thanks to the Medivac's heal ability. Bio forces may need the support of Vikings as well when faced powerful units like the Colossus or Brood Lord.

When faced with Banelings and other anti-bio units, Bio armies can be improved by the addition of some mech forces. Typically this is the Widow Mine or Siege Tank. Terran bio forces on the offensive can fall back to the tank line or burrowed Widow Mines when faced with a lot of Banelings.

Full mech builds can work against all 3 races as well. These builds typically consist of Hellbats, Thors, Siege Tanks, and Widow Mines. This build is a bit weak versus air units in general though, so Vikings may be added for support.

Against other Terran players, Siege Tanks and Vikings make up the core of your army composition. Siege Tanks rule all Terran units on the ground ground while Vikings provide air superiority and provide vision for your Siege Tanks.

Late Game Armies

The same army compositions that predominate in the mid-game for the Terran are also staples in the late game. In the late game, Terran players will use the same unit combinations as in the mid game but also add on Ravens or Ghosts as support.

The Raven is a very strong support unit in all match-ups, but its high gas cost and the amount of time it takes to build up a full energy bar relegate its use (aside from just 1 or 2 Ravens) to the later portions of the game. The Raven provides good air support for Mech as Seeker Missile and Point Defense Drone are strong versus most air units.

The Ghost provides great support for the Terran player, but particularly fits well in bio-based builds. The High Templar, Archon, and Infestor are some of the most dangerous units for Terran bio forces, and the Ghost counters them all via Snipe or EMP.

The only completely new army composition that opens up in the late game is SkyTerran - that is using a full army of air units. This involves creating an army of virtually all Battlecruisers, Ravens, and Vikings. This is army is incredibly hard to stop for any race if you have enough Ravens and use your Point Defense Drone and Seeker Missile effectively.

The reason you do not actually see much SkyTerran is not due to its strength but that it is practically impossible to get maxed out on Terran air units. This is due to the extreme vespene gas requirement. Each Battlecruiser costs 300 Vespene gas and each Raven costs 200 vespene gas. Just getting out 10 Battlecruisers and 10 Ravens runs 5000 vespene.

All Starcraft 2 Units

Zerg Unit Mechanics

The Zerg has five unique mechanics that stand out when compared to the other races: unit production, regeneration, creep, Overlords, and burrow.

Unit Production

The only Zerg unit that is produced by a building is the Queen. All other Zerg units are produced from Larva or from other Zerg units. Larva are automatically produced by the Hatchery or spawned via the Queen's Inject Larva ability. Larva can be selected by players and morphed into units at any time. Larva are destroyed in the process of creating a new unit.

Some Zerg units are created by permanently morphing one Zerg unit into another. Zerglings can morph into Banelings while Corruptors can morph into Brood Lords. This process costs resources, requires certain tech structures, and is permanent.

Zerg Regeneration

Unlike Protoss units which can only recover their shields and Terran units which do not recover at all, Zerg units and structures automatically recover their health over time. This is termed regeneration. Zerg regeneration occurs at a rate of about 1 health every 4 in-game seconds (actual value is slightly faster at .27 hp restored per second).

Zerg regeneration is always active. Even when the Zerg army is taking damage, the .27 health restored per second is ticking in the background. This actually matters in certain game scenarios. For example, without regeneration, an Immortal would destroy a Hydralisk in 4 shots, as the Immortal deals 20 HP per shot and the Hydralisk has 80 HP. However, during those 4 shots, the Hydralisk's native regeneration capacities will cause 1 health to be restored while the Immortal is firing off its shots. Rather than dying to 4 Immortal shots, the Hydralisk will survive with 1 HP, requiring a 5th shot to destroy it.

The Zerg Creep

Zerg Units move faster on the creep. The exact speed boost given is particular to the unit type. For example, Queens move more than twice as fast while on creep while the Ultralisk only moves 30% faster while on the creep.

Zerg units to not recover health faster while on the creep versus off the creep.

Overlords and Overseers

The Zerg is unique in that its supply space is increased by adding units on rather than structures. In particular, the Overlord and the Overseer both increase the current supply cap by 8 just like a Supply Depot or Pylon. These units do not cost any supply space, so you could literally have 100s of them if you could afford to produce them.

Starcraft 2 New Units

Despite not costing any supply space, these units also have multiple functions. The Overlord is able to be upgraded to function as a transport for the Zerg army as well as can generate creep. The Overseer is the Zerg's primary detector and has two abilities. One ability spawns a Changeling which can act as a spy, providing scouting information, while the other ability prevents unit production or research for 30 seconds.

Burrow

The Burrow technology can be researched at the Hatchery. All Zerg ground units can burrow. While burrowed, units are cloaked. Most burrowed units are unable to move or perform any actions, they just maintain their cloak.

Some units have access to a few of their abilities or can even move while burrowed. Infestors can spawn Infested Terran while burrowed and can move at a reduced speed. Banelings can explode while burrowed if the action is triggered. Swarm Hosts must remain burrowed to use Spawn Locusts. Roaches can be upgraded to move quickly while burrowed as well as regenerate extra healthw hile burrowed.

In the table below, you will find a list of all the Starcraft 2 Terran units along with the unit type, health, movement speed, armor, damage, damage bonuses, number of attacks, attack speed, and range for all the Terran units in Starcraft 2. This table includes Heart of the Swarm units. Attacks denote both ground and anti-air attacks unless otherwise noted.

Zerg Units: Abilities and Research Upgrades

Like all races, many Terran units have access to a variety of abilities in addition to just their default attacks. Some of these skills are always unlocked whereas others have to be researched before they can be used during a match. Additionally, there are a variety of upgrades available that can provide increase the strength of certain Terran units. Below, you will find a chart detailing all of these abilities and research upgrades.

Common Zerg Unit Combinations

In comparison to Protoss and Terran, Zerg armies tend to be the least balanced but most fluid of the three. Since Zerg players produce almost all of their units via Larva, they are able to switch their army composition at any time without limited investment. A Zerg player can just as easily make a wave of Zerglings as they could a wave of Mutalisks, whereas a Terran or Protoss player's production capacity of air units would be limited by the number of Starports or Stargates.

As a result, Zerg players rarely stick to a single army composition. However, there are a few Zerg army compositions which work well.

Perhaps the most common Zerg unit combination is Zerglings, Banelings, and Mutalisks. This is a popular combination for Zerg players to use against Terran players in particular, are Banelings are strong against Marines, while Zerglings and Mutalisks are strong versus most Terran unit combinations in the absence of Marines. Sometimes Infestors are added on for support in this combination. This unit combination is popular in the early and mid-game portions of TvZ. Banelings may be replaced by Ultralisks, Infestors, and/or Brood Lords by the late game.

Another common unit combination in Heart of the Swarm is Roach, Hydralisk, and Viper. Roaches and Hydralisks are a very good combination as Hydralisks are a very high DPS unit that can hit both air and grounds units, whereas Roaches act as a shield for the Hydralisks due to their high HP and low cost.

Starcraft 2 List Of Units 5th

In Wings of Liberty, the problem with the Roach/Hydra army was that it was weak against siege units with splash damage were long-ranged units with splash damage. In particular, Siege Tanks and Colossi were very strong against this unit composition. However, the Viper has changed this dynamic. The Abduct ability can be used to pull in Siege Tanks and Colossus. The Blinding Cloud ability can also be used to disable Siege Tanks. By negating the biggest weaknesses of the Roach and Hydralisk army, the Viper has made Roach and Hydralisk armies viable even in the late game.

In the late game, a great army composition for anti-ground is the Ultralisk and Infestor. Ultralisks do splash damage, but they are a melee unit. A good player will be able to reduce the Ultralisk's damage by spreading out their ranged units and kiting to minimize the Ultralisk's uptime. Fungal Growth can be used to lock units down, allowing the Ultralisk to clean them up with ease, dealing full DPS the entire time.

Note that most Zerg armies include Zerglings. This is simply due to the fact that the Zergling is the only offensive Zerg unit that does not actually cost vespene gas. Leftover minerals not being used to increase the Zerg's economy or for automated defense should be spent on Zerglings. You do not get to keep the minerals for the next game, so you might as well spend them!

Since Zerglings are not always very effective in direct combat in the late game due to not having much HP, most players take advantage of their high DPS movement speed by using them to sneak attack enemy expansions or rushing them into the main base while the enemy is distracted and attacking production or tech facilities. Zerglings are often used in reinforcement waves as well due to their fast production time and movement speed.

There are other viable options for Zerg players in Starcraft 2. These are just a few examples that are used in competitive play.
