Tightly packed Carriers are extremely susceptible to the Zerg Defiler's Plague spell, which leaves them with nearly no hitpoints. Carriers are also vulnerable against ghosts due to being locked down and rendered useless, and to a lesser degree with an Arbiter's Stasis field. Another big weakness is the battle cruiser, being almost completely opposite to the carrier makes it a very effective, and dangerous opponent. | Tightly packed Carriers are extremely susceptible to the Zerg Defiler's Plague spell, which leaves them with nearly no hitpoints.

====Carrier Sneak==== | |||
The carrier sneak involves building arbiters and carriers to work in sync to get past bottleneck defenses without detection. To effectively use this attack you '''MUST''' have good information before building, if the enemy is zerg then don't use this method of attack or else you will lose the element of surprise, due to their overlords, and your carriers will be subject to attack before necessary, also if the enemy area that you are attacking has a large number of detectors inside its base this won't work properly. First build carriers and put them in groups putting one arbiter in each group (4 carriers per group works best), then give each group a number or letter (to do this select all the units in the group, then hold shift and press the letter or number you want that group to be). Tip: to confuse the enemy add hallucinated arbiters to the attack. Remember that arbiters move faster than carriers and aren't invisible. For added protection when playing against another protoss, drop two or more reavers behind enemy lines and take out the defense pylons leaving room for a land and air attack. | |||
