I just downloaded sc2 bout a week or so ago, and am fascinated by the awesomeness of thors. problem is that thors are costly, timely, and not as effective against mid-lategame units thors face off with. though several thors can decimate mass marine/ling/un upgraded zealots, by the time you get thors on the battlefield in sufficent numbers you usually have to go up against lots of tier 2 stuff that thors dont quite own alone. im trying to figure out a combination to go with thors and could anyone of you thor lovers tell me a effective combination of units to be paired up with thors? thnks
i go tanks, marines and maurauders early game, then i add some medivacs, vikings and thors mid-game and finally in the late game i build huge army of marine maurauder, medivac, viking and thors. That is one of the numerous ways I use thors.
Starcraft 2 is centered around countering units. Thor counters units such as marines, hydras and zealots, while they get countered by units such as marauders, stalkers and zerglings. Thors are best against zerg with a mix of hellions, siege tanks and thors. This is known as going mech. Going mech make zerg players cry and ragequit. On the other hand, Thors are big and slow, so a more mobile army might force you to turtle, making you dead meat later in the game.
