Void-Shield-cannon rush

Hi, Terran here! Its pretty hard for me to counter Void rush… When i scout that probe doing s h i t t y things infront my Ramp, i have no problems with a Cannonrush, but there are not only cannons… most Toss go for Voids with shieldbatts and thats the thing, they got me everytime!.. Its pretty Op for Plat/low Dia like me! I don´t talk about Ballance, i think its not hard to counter for better players! But i don´t know what to do when i see the first Void… :frowning:

If you scout, it can be easy to hold.
If the proxy is cannon, then you go stop them and rush cyclons with the upgrade, once you mass them you can win the game.

I wouldn’t say it’s easy to hold, because voidrays have the same range than the lock-on cast and cyclones are fragile ; so you need to establish a strong position and constantly micro back and forth. If it was easy to hold, protoss wouldn’t do it in the first place. And there were ways to defend it before VR buffs, that don’t really apply anymore.

But yeah, Uthermal’s (detailed) guide is a really nice share.

It’s easy when you scout it, when you don’t or do it late, then it is way harder, if you catch it on time you can shut down the strat with no problem.If the batteries are done its whe the problems begin.
