Thor vs Protoss? lol gg

If you got Marines, vikings and a Thor, I would get a warp ray and stalkers and immortals. All of these counter thor and the stalkers can take out the infanry while whe others focus on thor.

 

i would use reapers meds 2 thors and vikings. The vikings and reapers would harras you to death while the thors pound you into next week. But protoss have enough counters for a thor. The overShield on the Immortals would do well and the Tempest has a overshield for ground units but no shild agenst air. but there covered by Warp rays so the protoss are ganna dance on the terrans, untill blizzard shows more terran units

 

The protoss can easily just run in 6-7 immortals and kill the thing, since their hardened shield has what... 800 hp? All the immortals need are a few colossus to wipe out the small arms fire and the terrans attack force is decimated.

 

more like pound u into next year man

 

i hate how everybody is treating thor like "omg my thor finished building gg biatch you might as well leave now". Thor is JUST ANOTHER UNIT. I wouldnt even send a toss MS into an enemy base alone. right now most people are thinking the viking/thor combo would be good. Personaly i think it would be also but hella expensive...

 

I haven't seen anything on the predator but those along with 3 or 4 thors could mean the end to even a formidable defense.

 

predator is an air only attack, and therefore wont be able to defend the thor from ground units.

 

I'm thinking, according to my theory, Thor will be a great anti-zerg weapon. As in destroyer of Zerg masses, Zerg base, and such. It doesn't hit air, but Zergs never had a much strong air-ground attack anyway. Guardian is in no way a possible counter to Thor, if it's even back in the game. If you think about i, Thor will prove its use against the zerg.

 

Well marines should always move along with your thor.

 

And your Colossi along with your Warp Rays. ;-)

 

actually, thors can hit air.

 

Can they?? O_O Well, then, perhaps Warp Rays cannot simply own them like that then. But then again, we should wait for the actuall game to see how it all works, right? ;-)

 

i wonder how effective the air-specialty-upgraded battlecruisers will be. seems like the new battlecruisers are gonna absolutely smack stuff, you might not even need thor =P

 

Thor vs zergling = lol

that means Thor was defenetely meant to be a support unit.. when you have a super large army, so large that if the enemies focus on Thor, the rest of the army pwns all...

 

there isnt an air spec for BCs, its AoE (plasma torpedoes/turrets) to ground or insane 1 hit (yamato) to any unit

 

i thought i saw somewhere (interview vid/blizzcon blogging not sure) said battlecruisers get an option to be upgraded to AA or AG damn

 

Yeah that was in the multiplayer demo at blizzcon, each BC can be upgraded individually he said, which kicks ass!

 

I would not be surprised if a few zealots could defeat the Thor. If you studied it can only fire forward it seemed and it took a while to turn. So a few zealots in every direction - or in a pincer attack - would be GG Thor.

 

I'd use Zealots against Thors. The Thors can't do anything about units crawling up their pants. Also, Zealots are good for killing the types of units that would be defending said pants. Alternatively or additionally, Stalkers with Blink would be a good choice. Come to think of it Immortals with their hardened shields can do the trick as well... Yeah, the Protoss have all sorts of things to kill Thors.

 

Yeah, in that case you just switch targets, you make your marines attack the warps and your thors bombard the colosi. If the enemy isnt fast enough for your mirco he loses. ;-)
