The only thing I've found that works well is if you can emp their shields before they get in range of your tanks. This seems to be what the Pros do too. Is this the only way to counter immortals? I haven't tried BCs but I think they would be too ineffective against guardian shield stalker, void ray. | ||

You can try using marines throughout the whole match, but make sure he doesn't have HTs and snipe colossi before engaging him with your imba range 9 vikings. Spread your tanks well and make sure to engage him with meatshields for the tanks. Hellions maras anything will do fine as long as your tanks will have the time to shoot. If you have the gas, get banshees too. Even though they're expensive and get sniped easily their DPS is great and they are a very good unit well worth their price overall. | ||

Marines own immortals, and EMP. edit: I'm also wondering how you're playing people who get sentry/stalker/immortal/high templar. They must have like 10k minerals left over. | ||

Marines are quite good vs immos, marauders hold their own but zealot+immo will help the immo out loads to make the AI kill the zealots first while with +1 dmg upgrade and stim, immos 2 shot marauders. TL:DR if the P is immo heavy, be marine heavy or make sure to have enough EMP to go around. | ||

Even EMP, if you do it before the immos get in range, the P can just back his units off and wait until the shields have regened maybe if you're meching, but with stim and concussive shell, there's no way a slow-ass immortal is getting away with his life | ||

they have higher single-target DPS than siege tanks, they're one of the most damaging units in the game. four banshees can kill an immortal in <4 seconds, i dunno how fast you were expecting. i mean, you need the ravens/vikings/cloak/etc to protect them, but if they stay alive they kill things obscenely fast. i'm not sure i would make them specifically to counter immortals (since honestly i've never had issue dealing with immortals), but they're really useful in the matchup anyway if you want to work 5 or 6 of them into a build. | ||

Sure a loss, but getting those shields back up on your units, esp. the immos is by far more important. | ||

EMP. It removes 100 shield, Immortals have 100 shield. So it turns off their Hardened shields in 1 hit. After that, it's just a big stalker that can't shoot in the air. | ||
