What's the real counter of Archon? I did go see in blizzard site the page of protoss's units and there I saw that Archon is strong against just Muta and weak against Ultra / Immortal / Marauder. Here it's little normal, but I did other question: If Archon is strong just muta, why toss makes Archon? I felt little deceived about blizzard, so I did go see the Liquidpedia and there was the same thing. But in Game I don't feel that Archon is just Strong against muta. What you think? | ||

Units with Bonus Damage Against Psionic None. Protoss makes archons 'cause they have good DPS with AoE, they "recycle" HT in a fight, and they have no counter. | ||

Many people use it as a meat shield, to tank damage, negate maurader slow and crush forcefields. | ||

As terran EMP + almost anything is great, as zerg pure roaches crushes archons. | ||

But roaches are very cost effective against archons, and storm isn't as powerful against roaches as other units. | ||

I don't think they do especially well vs mutas, or even that that's something blizzard were intending. Maybe the information is outdated? Archons hard countered mutas in broodwar. I think strategies focused around the archon primarily are bad in all circumstances though. | ||

And the counter to Archons are EMP cause their have lots of shield- and few hitpoints. the normal marauder/marine concusiveshell micro should work really good too...and dont forget (cloaked) Banshees :p Except EMP, there is no "real hardcounter like Viking counter Collosus with terrible terrible damage with each hit"..afaik.. | ||

 Also banshees. @down: zerglings actually do pretty well vs archons if they get surround. Same with Zealots | ||

Zerglings, zealots, high templar, vikings, reaper, hellion, phoenix, corrupter. Everything else works just fine. Nothing is that amazing against it and none of these are bad against it. oh ya banelings is another non counter | ||
