Medics are useful additions to the Terran Dominion in Broodwar. Marines and firebats can survive longer and therefore deal a huge amount of damage before getting killed. Use the medic with care.

  • A squad of 4 to 6 medics and 20+ marines can hurt an enemy badly in an early game.
  • Keep a couple of medics in an scv area because medics can heal them in case they become damaged due to enemy attacks.
  • Do no train too many medics, as a rule of thumb, train 1 medic for every 5 marines you have. This won't drain too much of your resources for other units.
  • HEAL: this heals 2 hit points for 1 energy. The medic does this automatically.
  • Do not attack ground the medics because they will just walk to the location. Make them follow the marines and move them just behind the marines.
  • OPTIC FLARE: a good bargain, overlords, dropships, shuttles, observers and other long sighted units are good targets. This is a good combo if you plan a nuke bombing. Blinded units have sight ranges reduced to 1.
  • RESTORATION: use this only if your opponent has special abilities that cause abnormal effects. It does not cure stasis field.
