  • One of the most important tactics to use through out the entire game is to use spidermines as often as possible. Lay mines in key passes and on ramps. If you put them close to the enemy’s base, it will not only keep the enemy busy, but cause them to live in fear of leaving their own base.
  • Make sure you have plenty of tanks to defend your base. A well rounded Terran defense consists of tanks, missile turrets, bunkers full of marines, and some extra ground support. This type of defense is nearly unbreakable, except towards Zerg guardians, which need to be taken out as quickly as possible. Having a few cloaked wraiths around can be an effective tactic to use.
  • And often overlooked, science vessels can be one of your strongest units. However, they need to be used in order to be effective. When dealing with the Protoss, always knock out the shields on them and their buildings before attacking. Once the shields are down, a nuke can easily wipe out most of their base with just one blast.
  • Use cloaked wraiths to sneak around air defenses and harass the enemy from their weak spots. This can really distract your enemy, buying you enough time to fortify your defenses.
  • Try to place tanks on high ground above enemy bases, allowing you to hit their base without taking any damage. Just make sure to guard the passes leading to those high points with tanks and infantry.
  • Shuttles will help to drop tanks at elevations within the range of enemy bases. You can then bombard the enemy base, while keeping them unable to reach your tanks. This particular tactic works great on certain maps since the enemy will not be able to get to your tanks, while you are able to take out their entire base with ease.

Just remember not to forget about your own weaknesses as a Terran.

  • Terran infantry is incredibly vulnerable to Reavers, which will tear up the infantry like it was nothing. Have tanks, wraiths or cloaked ghosts on hand to deal with Reavers.
  • Terrans also take a lot of damage in air battles. If your cloaked wraiths are detected, they become easy targets for mutalisks and scouts, which wipe out wraiths too easily.
