Ramp Blocking

How to effectively block or defend a ramp using your units and structures in StarCraft 2.

2/5


When to Use:		Featured Units:
Anytime you are defending a position that has a ramp

[What to do]
Leverage the ramp to your advantage. Use the height advantage to pick off troops as they advance up the ramp or block the top of the ramp with melee units not allowing them to pass or leverage their entire force


[Tips for Pulling This Off]
-Be prepared to repair your base or quickly reinforce it with troops if the enemy breaks through.- Stand along the edge of your ledge to get early and un-counterable attacks in on incoming troops.- Form a wall of your troops behind the blockade to attack and block the entrance is the blockade falls.


Good vs. These Races / Strategies:		Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This particularly useful against early game melee units and can also help vs. ranged armies. Enabling your whole army to fight or a smaller portion of the enemies army to fight are the keys to this strategy.		This can backfire against long ranged armies, if you have short ranged troops, by choking your forces off from attacking them or limiting your troops with shorter range from attacking.

What to do in Success:		What to do in Failure:
- Hold your base or push out if you have a major victory.- Look into expanding after you've made a successful and large victory.		- Hope your not dead
