STARCRAFT II GAME UNITS HELLION

Previous Terran Unit: Ghost Next Terran Unit: Siege Tank

UNITS

HELLION
The Hellion is a high-speed
raider built around a lightweight
four-wheel chassis. Hellions are
capable of causing damage
disproportionate to their size,
particularly against enemy
infantry, thanks to their heavy
Infernal Flame Throwers.
Additionally, their remarkable
acceleration allows for improvisational tactics in the
field. Some Hellion drivers will deliberately outrun their
enemies only to turn and attack when they have
reached maximum range. The low cost, exceptional
agility, and devastating firepower of these vehicles have
made them extremely popular with mercenary
companies.

DRIVER’S HANDBOOK

Light vehicle that can attack ground targets.

STRONG AGAINST
Its mounted flamethrower damages all units in a straight line.
Good against large concentrations of light units, excellent after upgrade.

Great for hit-and-run operations, especially against melee units and

worker lines.
Zergling Zealot
Their speed makes them great scouts.
Requires good control and positioning to maximize effectiveness.
WEAK AGAINST
Against ranged units, get in close; against melee, kite.

Marauder Roach Stalker

TECH LAB UPGRADES

INFERNAL PRE-IGNITER: Increases damage dealt against light units by +10.

COUNTERMEASURES

VS Terran

Block your choke point, don’t clump your units, and don’t let Hellions
surround them.
Marauders, being armored, take less damage from Hellions, and also slow
them down once concussive shells have been researched.

Build a few Siege Tanks and Hellions of your own.

Banshees work well, too.

VS Zerg

Block your choke point with Roaches or Queens to prevent Hellion raids.
Place a few Spine Crawlers along your mineral line.
If you have Hydralisks, spread them out and research Grooved Spines,

Hellion - Game - StarCraft II

remember not to clump them up.

Mutalisks can attack Hellions with impunity.

VS Protoss

Block your choke point with Stalkers or the Sentry’s Force Field ability to
prevent Hellion raids.
Build a few Photon Cannons along your mineral line.

Air units can attack Hellions with impunity.

@ThePreator: Go on a Hydra hunt with these cars and roast some zerglings with it as well. Just be sure to upgrade them

before you do the following thing called driving to save the world from the evil Zerglings.

AverageAzn 1/27/11 10:59 PM

helions are underrated. They are god in 4v4 and solo. They are weak vs terrain but great vs toss and zerg. They *%*# high templar and

it only takes 3 to one shot a line of expensive HTs. Also i have noticed that their speed makes toss **%! bricks when they see them. 2

blue flame helions one shot a row of workers. It does wonders to *%*# zerg's workers and then two shot all of his larve. I have seen so

many zerg players rage quit caz i did that.

XProSASX 1/3/11 2:28 AM

Hellions look like go-karts with flamethrowers.

Destructor 1/8/11 8:43 PM

@XProSASX: Thats cause they are.

randomperson 1/28/11 8:42 PM

@Destructor: lol I can just imagine these appearing in a mario kart game

Tony 1/2/11 2:41 AM

if it was cargo size 10 they would be squashed up in 1 vehicle

theredstorm 12/22/10 2:58 AM

Back in SC1 you only needed one vulture to kill an infinite amount of zerglings. Now you need way more....

Espearican 12/13/10 2:05 AM

Eyes sunk in, real skinny, and bags under their eyes........these Hellions are meth heads

sdb 12/24/10 10:15 PM

Cgriff 12/3/10 8:44 PM

Hellions + good micro =painnnn

Starviper 12/3/10 7:06 PM

"extremely popular with mercenary companies." Soo...why are there no merc hellions or enemy hellions other than the Dominion?

Doncroft 12/13/10 1:10 AM

@Starviper: For once you have a good point.

Binaro 12/20/10 10:10 PM

@Starviper: They actually do. In the map editor, there's hints of a merc called "outback hunters", which are basically

hellions. but they don't exist, not even in the editor, so we can assume that they were scrapped before the game was

released.

evilpenguin 11/20/10 8:04 AM

As firebat 357 famously said, "Need a light?"

Bone 12/9/10 5:02 AM

MagmaRam 11/3/10 8:32 AM

These eat hydras like nothing else with the blue flame.

Jonas 11/2/10 3:21 PM

Can these hellions stop baneling?

Binaro 12/20/10 10:11 PM

@Jonas: They can, since they out-travel them by tons. Even with the speed upgrade, Banelings are 1.5 movement speed

lower than hellions.

Jonas 11/2/10 3:21 PM

Can these hellions stop baneling?

ThePreator 2 days, 16 hours ago

@Jonas: never tried
