Analysis

Notes:

  • Once hellions are on the way reaper goes to hide near their base: send it in to scout + hit their main mineral line if they attack your front at all (big damage if they tunnel vision)
    • Bonus points for picking off scvs on buildings (CC, starport etc)
  • Early MULES all dropped in main base until 4+ hellions are out - if they go 2-reaper hellion they have a small window to hit your natural mineral ine
  • Hellions rally on top of your ramp and group up here
  • Try to hide your count and jump on them if they overcommit
  • Hit their natural with 6-8 hellions
  • Learn when to commit and do damage, when to pull back. Defending counter-attacks is hard if you sacrifice all of them for little damage
  • This build is essentially a 3CC double raven + viking + tank, tech-unit focused build. You want to turtle up initially and only explode into a dynamic game after 3-bases+
  • Your attack timings are:
    • Early reaper backstab
    • 6-8 hellion dive on natural
    • 2-ravens, 2-4 vikings and 2-3 siege tank “air superiority” push (enemy does this to me and I defend poorly in this replay/video of me doing the build
    • 3-base onwards standard marine-tank pushes (or mech if you choose to do that off this opening)
