The Roach is quite effective in StarCraft 2 if used effectively; most zerg players know how to micromanage their roaches quite well and create a wonderful opportunity for their other units, freeing them as well.
It is important to know exactly what to do to easily and effectively counteract these roaches starting today!
Cockroach skills
Roaches have a unique number of abilities that make them highly effective. First of all, they have very high hp at 145 hp. They also have high damage that is fast and the ability to move while buried underground (has to be investigated), they can also regenerate health while buried.
It’s not the perfect unit because it’s actually very slow, they have a very short range, the armored class makes them susceptible to specific units, and most of all, they can’t attack air units at all, so they’re great, but they’re certainly not. perfect.
Terrestrial cockroach counter
You want to make sure you use the Marauder’s range to your advantage, you want to use concussion projectiles to further slow this unit down and just attack them with Marauders, this will make them work fast.
And if there’s a roach fever, just wall your base, build marauders, and boom, easy win.
Zerg cockroach counter
Of course, you can expect this to be the hardest, after all, it is the same race. So what you want to do is counter it by building roaches on your own and making microspheres better than your opponent, and building spine trackers, with mutalisk technology.
Air units destroy roaches and that is exactly what mutalisks are and will do.
Protoss cockroach counter
Probably the second easiest moment, the Terran is the easiest. But all you have to do is build your gateway, pylon, cyber core and just create a choke point at the entrance to your base, then just build some stalkers and sentries.
Don’t build fans, please. You will be destroyed, believe me. I did this once, all wrong.
You should also make sure to use sentries to block the entrance to your base and even try to use immortals as well. This can help you be successful, so good luck!
