Starcraft 2 Starport Tactics And Tricks



Strategy is a fundamental aspect of the game StarCraft 2. Approaching this game with a positive mind is very important. It helps you overcome the challenges brought forward at every league. Normally, these leagues continue to become more difficult as you advance. This means that the player has to learn some tricks to overcome these new challenges. This article mainly focuses on Starcraft 2 Starport tactics and how they can help you advance through the online leagues.

Many strategy games depend on how you wish to approach certain situations. The skills required need a lot of practice and experience to muster. However, if you read this article you will learn a few things about getting the most out of your Starport buildings.



First, let us take a brief look at this building and its importance to online play. This building is able to manufacture air units while playing online. It produces the Banshee, the Medivac, Viking and Raven. In addition, it builds the Battlecruiser. The player needs some additional supply of Minerals and Gas to create their air units. The minerals required to create this building are 150 minerals and 100 gas. The structure takes 50 seconds to build.

The Viking and Medivac do not require any addons to be attached and thus they can be produced two at a time when the reactor is attached to this building. The Banshee, Raven and Battlecruiser however all require a tech lab to be attached to the Starport in order to be created. The Battlecruiser also requires a Fusion Core to be present on the battlefield before it can be produced as well.

The Medivac can transport units around the battlefield as well as heal biological units such as marines and marauders. The Viking can attack other air units at a long range and it can also transform into a ground form to attach ground targets. The Banshee can get cloak researched and it is used against ground targets. The Raven is a support unit that functions as both a detector and spell caster.

This structure also enables the Fusion Core which is required for the Battlecruiser. The Battlecruiser is slow and expensive however it has incredible armor, hit points and firepower which can help secure victory for the Terran player.

Before building this structure, you will first require a factory to be constructed beforehand. During the construction process, you will also require a SCV. This structure also has the Lift Off ability. This function enables it to cruise at a reduced speed during the course of the game although it will abandon any previously attached addon structures.

The air rush strategy is among some of the tactics available to the Terran player. However, you might notice that air rushes as the Terran commonly involve Banshees which are very costly. This strategy aims at enabling the player to manufacture some Banshees at the beginning of the game.
