How to Counteract Mass Carriers in Starcraft 2

"StarCraft II" is a real-time strategy game for the PC that has a plethora of strategies and tactics for players who take part in its competitive multi-player mode. One common strategy found online is producing massive amounts of Carrier ships with the Protoss race. Each ship produces several small ships, which fly and create damage on behalf of the larger ship. These can be very difficult for many players to defeat, particularly when they are just starting out.

Instructions

- 1
  Build anti-aircraft buildings, such as missile turrets and photon cannons, around the perimeter of your base. These buildings may cost some of your resources, but they can provide a great first-line of defense for your base when defending against Carriers.
- 2
  Build aircraft that specializes in anti-aircraft, such as the Viking. Your aircraft will still be vulnerable to the Carrier, but they will have an increased amount of mobility that they previously did not have when combating the large ships.
- 3
  Manually control your units when you are fighting the carriers. By default, your ships will automatically begin shooting the smaller, weaker ships that deal damage for the Carrier. In reality, it is much faster to manually attack one of the Carriers and destroy it. Once it has been destroyed, all of its smaller planes are destroyed, too.
