Reaper Harassment

Specific Harassment techniques for Reapers that are designed to dominate and frustrate your opponent. How to maximize ledges and jumping in StarCraft 2.

Difficulty Rank:

4/5


When to Use:		Featured Units:
When you are attacking an enemies base with few early units.

[What to do]
Kite the unit or do a 'ring around the rosy.' Also, do a hill check before jumping up.


[Tips for Pulling This Off]
- Check the ledge by moving your Reaper under it before jumping, this avoids getting shot while on your way up and again when you finish your jump.- Kite enemy units by attacking ground then moving away in fast order.- If you have one Reaper being chased have the other reapers stand and shoot while the first Reaper is chased.


Good vs. These Races / Strategies:		Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is great vs. opponents early in the game and when they have a poorly, if at all, defended base.		This is bad if your opponents have Stalkers, Roaches or Marauders - or any other later tier unit with ranged attacks.

What to do in Success:		What to do in Failure:
- Continue harassing the enemy.- Start attacking the enemy structures as Reapers do heavy damage to them.- Switch tech to normal units and push on the weakened enemy base.		- Switch tech to a normal strategy and D up as your opponent likely has a slight advantage.- Utilize your remaining Reapers for scouting the map and leveraging ledges to scout, stay safe and potentially pick off units.
