Difficulty Rank:

3/5



 

When to Use:

  

Featured Units:
When your opponent is attacking your base with an early rush army and your army is outmatched.   Sentry is used for this strategies
     

[What to do]
Cast Force Field on your ramp to block any units from going up it. Also, you can cast it when some of the units have ran up the ramp to split the army.
 

[Tips for Pulling This Off]
- Cast the Force Field every ten seconds to continuously stop the enemies units from coming up the ramp.- Cast the Force Field when the enemy is partway up the ramp to split their army. This is particularly effective against Short to Mid Ranged units.- Cast Force Fields behind the enemy army if you want to trap them in to take them out with your army.- With 4 Sentries you can almost endlessly block out opposing ground armies.
 
     

Good vs. These Races / Strategies:

  

Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is great when you are facing any early enemy rush army that is larger or close to as large as yours. Splitting or completely blocking the army can let you completely avoid their rush.   This is bad if you trap your own units.
     

What to do in Success:

  

What to do in Failure:
- Push out if you can trap and destroy most of your opponents army.- Continue to blockade if you are teching and hold off the enemy army until you get to your desired tech level.   - If you fail try to block out as many units as possible, or make a second blockade to trap the enemy army.- Pull workers off the lines if you need them to kill the enemy army.
