How to counter Hellbats in the field?

Arqade Asked on March 18, 2021

Usually, I scout mass Hellbats in advance. I know it is coming, but usually I lose to them.

I know they have a small range, so Marauders and Marines should outrange them. Tanks should be good, but it looks like I’m missing something and lose to mass Hellbat constantly.

I would appreciate answers for all: how to counter mass Hellbats in TvT, ZvT, PvT as it is really hard for me to come up with a definite answer.

HELLBAT

  • Costs: 100 Minerals
  • Hitpoints: 135
  • Armor: 0
  • Light Unit
  • Damage: 18 (+12 vs light) (splash radius 45)

TvT

  • You can easily counter the Hellbat with what ever you like. If your enemy would go mass Hellbat, there is no way you should lose.

    If you Mech: Siege Tanks, Hellbats and Thors together with Vikings
    and Medivacs. It will always come down to who has the most, and best upgrades. Medivacs will heal your Hellbats! If you Mech play as T, I always find it important to have a lot off Hellbats guarding my tanks.

    If you bio: Your bio has a longer range than the Hellbat, and can
    easily be kited. They die rather fast to Marauders too.

    You can also add Widow Mines along side your main army - just
    remember to get the quick burrow research!!!

ZvT

  • Note that it is a light unit. If you are caught off guard or forgot to scout. Get your Banelings out ASAP. (always get Baneling speed upgrade)

    If you are playing a Mech Terran in general, and you scout this. You can go for Ling, Bling and Mutas. Again - it all comes down to number and how well you micro.

    But the hard counter would Banelings first, then Zerglings on the follow up. Mutas is again a no-brainer!

PvT

  • Note that Hellbats eat Zealots, so forget about them if the T masses.

    Stalkers can easily kite the Hellbat. So if you would go for a Stalker heavy army, you shouldent have any real issues dealing with the Hellbats. So I will always recommend Stalkers versus mass
    Hellbats!

Everything that is armored would go, and also air can be good too. Marauders in bio (never rush marine,or u will regret it) tanks, or thors, cyclone should beat him (mine too but make a bunch to cover the whole helion army) banshee or bc is the best. Stalkers can be good immortals too.

You need to avoid all bio, light units, because it's what they're made for (marine,zerglings, zealots, adept).
