Starcraft Protoss Strategy – Countering Reaper Rush
In Starcraft 2 Gameplay, each race has their own best rush tactic. For the Terran, its the Reaper Rush. This is an aggressive strategy that is designed to sacrifice your macro economy buildup in order to hit the harvesters of your opponent hard and fast. This has been a very successful rush strategy in the past against Protoss, as your units a more expensive to build and your counters require a bit of teching.
Without proper defenses, the Terran Reapers will hit your harvester and achieve kills in one or two shots. As a SC2 Protoss player, you’ll need to make sure you get the right units in place so that you don’t lose all of your Probes. So, let’s take a look at what you need to do to take care of a Reaper Rush.

There are no doubts that this unit hits hard. The Marauder is the Terran answer to all things armored. That means it will beat up Stalkers, Immortals, and Colossus pretty well. In addition to that, its Concussive Shells upgrade slows down non-massive targets by 50% and when massed will slow down the majority of their opponent’s army. This makes their targets much easier to micro against and even prevent a fleeing foe from getting away. However, it does have its disadvantages.
Marauders cannot attack aerial units. While they may be devastating to armored ground units, they lose their usefulness when their opponent transitions to an air build. You can use this to your advantage to take them out.
