Reavers are good at taking out zerg and terran swarms, as well as all grouped units (particularly gatherer units). They also have good impact against armor, such as targets like bunkers, sunken colonies, photon cannons, or vehicles. They are good en masse, but cannot target air units so try to use that to your advantage. They are also used in quickly taking out small outposts or enemy gatherers by dropping them behind defenses. Cheap units beware. | Reavers are good at taking out zerg and terran swarms, as well as all grouped units (particularly gatherer units).

Creating a few mutalisks will help stymie a reaver problem. Also (an) Ultralisk(s) with the armor upgrade can sustain some damage from reavers and kill them(Don't use this technique if the reavers are far more than your Ultralisks.) Reavers can't fire on air units, but are commonly transported with shuttles. You can also use the mutalisks against the shuttles if they are in retreat, but if the enemy strategy is to drop reavers, build some scourge to deal with their transports. Queens' Spawn Broodling ability cannot target robotic units, and Ensnare is effectively useless due to the Reavers' already sloth-like movement. | |||

If you are quick, you can use the Ghosts' Lockdown ability, but be sure that it is cloaked and have units with non-concussive damage ready. Battlecruisers' Yamato Gun will neutralise a Reaver in one shot. | |||

Dark Templar work well against Reavers, provided they remain undetected. If they are unavailable, High Templar's Psi Storm will severely damage the slow-moving Reavers. Scouts or Carriers can score free shots at Reavers. | |||
