Thor vs Protoss? lol gg

Mothership is an effective counter. I think it's slightly faster than the Thor and if you can get one stuck under a Planet Cracker...

 

...Then it will own the thor

 

the carriers, if they have that shield like the tempests, could own it hands down

also you could hit it from the front with immortals, to take the fire and hit it from behind with your weak warprays

 

I think mas marines thor would do just fine i mean lets say they atack you with colosus and immortals... u use the thors to atack the colosus and use the marines to atack the imortals its all about micro... the thors doesnt have to waste their firepower on imortals shields....its not like u cant order them to atack what u want ....and btw we dont know how much each units cost so like u atack with 4 warp rays and lose 2 in the proces for one thor and if lets say (just guesing) the ray costs 250 minerals and 200 gas and a single thor costs 400 mins 400 gas the protos is at a lose....

 

The stasis orb might also be a good counter for the Thor. The Thor's pretty slow already, so slow it down even further and hit it with immortals or warp rays. You'd stand a lot more chance against a slowed Thor than a normal one.

 

Counters to the Thor will probably be different depending on if the Thor has a minimum range. If it has a minimum range Zealots and Zerglings will be a good counter.

I am thinking it might have a minimum range because I cant possibly see that thing being able to shoot at its feet due to the cannon length

 

But u newer send it alone just make a shield of marines around it and the mele ppl cant get too it

 

heres something fun, use the stalkers to poof behind it then when it turns poof around behind it again and continue this till the thor is dead and very confused.

 

I know but they do that with tanks too so what they showed in the gameplay video with the cobra circle of death wouldn't happen as shown either. I was just hypothesizing as to possible options. Assuming there is a minimum range for the Thor rushing it would leave you less vulnerable and you only have to deal with marines.

 

I thinks the counter would be to engage the rines with zealots and colosus and engage the thor with warp rays because they look like their sole purpose is to destroy slow large hp units, it ads damage for every sec it atacks if i am not mistaken

 

I don't think the current planet cracker would do all that much damage to the Thor. Maybe 200-300 if kept over it for the entire ability.

That's based on it's current suck-weak status.

 

Patlidzan: The Warp Ray would only be so-so against the Thor. The damage increases only twice, it essentially adds a beam to the attack, doubling it, then another beam, bringing it to 3x the original attack, but it's still not massive. You'd need 3-4 Warp Rays to take down a Thor at any respectable rate.

And, as I am always stating: the solution to the Thor problem is not high-tech units! Just get your small cheap stuff, Zealots are perfect, behind the thing, and it's as good as dead.

 

10-neon, i thought that the warp ray gained a damage bonus vs armored? (i think it was in one of the screenshots from blizzcon)

 

Damage bonus or not, a single warp ray is still too weak to kill a Thor on its own. Just by its hp. It's about 500 hp difference.
