How do you beat that toss comp?


I think you get some ravens to make the tempests useless, maybe like 20ish ghosts to EMP, maybe a,little bit of left over bio but most of the supply just in raven/viking/ghost. At least in theory, dunno if that actually works.


Artosis is right, the Phoenixes eat up the PDDs so fast.


Dunno, if you have a ton of ghosts and vikings the protoss cant force the engagement in the same way since the tempest shots dont do damage. With enough PDDs it can be enough to turn the tide to the terran player, assuming that the EMPs hit. Trying to kill the observers help too with a lot of ghosts. Of course this is just theorycrafting though and next to impossible to execute in a real game

Phoenix use it up


Well that already makes less damage on your vikings. Besides I feel like the main point with the PDD is just to make it so the tempests cant force engagements from far away, he cant just fly the phoenixes intomyour army to kill the pdds at that point.

I don't know, i didn't like this game at all, lots of time wasted on useless maneuvers, deathballs walking forth and back and the real climactic deciding engagement just never occurred: fanta simply got stomped 3-4 times, every time he tried to fight.

You like bl infestor then, because tempest templars aren't much different from that.


A reminder that lategame terran is literally worse then broodlord/infestor and currently unbeateable for protoss.

PDD isn't the answer, at least not for a period of time longer than 2 volleys (which could be long enough)

Phoenix do 2 rounds each, so every phoenix requires the PDD to use energy twice per phoenix attack. Times 20 phoenix and that fast attack even 15 PDD's would be drained ultra quick. That could buy enough time for Vikings to win the air fight though. Maybe. Hard to say because I don't know how many shots a PDD can absorb.

If he had several Ravens, he could have tried to shield them and then go for pointer seekers on the very immobile tempests as well. There are ways of beating a protoss air deathball, even though Fantasy didn't manage to do it...

well, since the Vikings would be shooting at the phoenixes all the time and EMPs would take all their shields, it would still just be energy traded against units.
I think you just need a lot of Ravens for that to be worthwhile, kind of like you need a lot of SHs.

So theoretically, how is Terran supposed to beat that? A composition of tempest/colossus/phoenix/high templar just annihilated everything!

I know the answer is supposed to be: don't let the protoss get that far, but Myungsik played smart and defensive and even gave up expansions to build up that crazy deathball.

Fantasy did a-move his ghosts into Myungsiks army and basically throw away his huge lead at one point though... you can't judge the composition entirely based on that game, because Fantasy made some fatal blunders.

Nothing beats that really, terran or zerg. I guess enough corruptors and infestors could, with lots of vipers, sitting behind 50+ spores, but I can't see anything else working.
