How to devastate an enemies worker line using your Phoenix. The Phoenix in StarCraft 2 can quickly get into your opponents base and lift-off and destroy your opponents worker line before escaping back out.
Difficulty Rank:
4/5
When to Use:
Featured Units:
When your opponent has little or no static base defense and no units guarding the worker line.
[What to do]
Bring in your Phoenix and alternate lifting workers to be killed by your non-lifting Phoenix.
[Tips for Pulling This Off]
- Quickly move in with your Phoenix and lift off the Workers one-by-one to be killed. Lifting one right before the previous is killed helps the process go faster.- Look out for incoming troops to not lose any Phoenix.- If small groups of troops come in you can potentially destroy them using your Phoenix by lifting and killing just like the workers.
Good vs. These Races / Strategies:
Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is great whenever your opponent is not guarding their mineral line. Even a few kills can give you a slight advantage.
This is weak if your opponent has static base defense or standing troops there.
What to do in Success:
What to do in Failure:
- Continue to worker line harass.- If you can scout the opponents army decide if you should push in with your army.- Look for expansions to harass.
- Get your Phoenix out before they die.
