Countering your opponent when he has a demon haunts your base and your mineral line can be complex and difficult once you have already committed a certain level of resources to a particular tech tree path. This means taking a moment to re-evaluate what units you have available and how you can upgrade them to fight demons or how you can build other units to be more effective against demons. Here are 3 Starcraft 2 strategies for each race to use when facing demons.
First of all, when you play Terran, the best you can do is fly or significantly improve your ground forces. Hellion’s stalking is a big problem for infantry as they can’t go fast enough to keep up. However, Stim Packs and Concussion Grenades will balance this out by slowing down demons and speeding up infantry. This avoids the kite and makes the fight much more even.
Second, when playing Zerg, it is important to avoid zerglings or significantly improve your speed. You need to get speedlings to keep up with demon kite strategies when your opponent has a demon harassing your units. The speed buff will make it virtually impossible for the demon to make kites, especially in creep, making your units much more effective.
Lastly, with the protoss, focus on the stalkers rather than the fans. Fans will get caught up in too much trouble, especially without their charging upgrade, but stalkers can effectively fight back demons, especially after investigating their blink upgrade! Keep this in mind if you are getting a demon harassing your base constantly and it will prevent headaches from turning into defeats.
