How, as a protoss should I respond to hellbat heavy (and drop heavy) compositions? I've been going for an additional 2nd / 3rd robo and been building more stalkers while only having a small number of zealots in my composition (favoring archons as the meatshield) and dumping minerals into WP/DT/zealot harass while cannon+stalker+ht per mineral line. The issue here is that stalker/immortal/colossi/archon is very fragile vs ghosts/viking/tank if I take a bad engagement, thats probably something I have to deal with? Or should I be going airtoss rather than emphasizing robo units over gateways?

Also, how exactly does the new thor work and whats it strong/weak against specifically? Obviously thor is good vs air but apparently its ground mode is solid too, so I'm not sure what I should do vs compositions with multiple thors.

Making it armored would be a massive nerf to it in terms of mech play. At the moment their best use as part of the mech army (not hellbat drops) is to tank/force-field things that wreck tanks such as marauders and immortals. Making them armored would completely remove that and you would be better off using hellions in those situations. Also I don't see why it not being healed by a medivac means it has to be armored?

One reason it's being healed by medivac is because of bio type. Making it armored would be a nerf to mech, but huge buff to Marine - MMM as well, since u can use 100 mineral units to tank the shit out of banelings for marine

Well.. Marauders are armoured and any Zerg above Diamond actually micros their banelings. Also Hellbats are slow so they'd quite easily run around them in most situations. I agree though that armoured Hellbats would make mech impossible to play TvP.

What guide? This is a compilation post for posts already made.


This will be a compilation for HoTS stuff, which is new, compared to the WoL stuff, which is old.

Various mech guides in every MU


Close enough to a guide for me.

I am a 800 points diamond terran (for whatever it's worth) and while I feel I have a good grasp of mech TvT and TvZ, I struggle terribly against protoss.
Please give us some good TvP tips!

I'm looking forward to seeing the stuff you show for TvZ. I've not played in the past week due to being busy, but until recently the main and probably only matchup I've had a lot of trouble with is TvZ. It'll be great to get some good advice on here, looking forward to it. :D

Funnily enough, I think mech in tvp is now more viable than in tvz.

Really? I have a 80% winrate in TvZ but only 40% in TvP at mid-Master level when going mech. I find it almost impossible to beat Protoss in a straight up game with mech, their army are just as strong as yours, maybe stronger, + more mobile.
