Units in StarCraft are one of three different sizes: small, medium and large. The size of a unit is taken
into account when calculating the effects of different classes of damage. This is why, for example, a Firebat
is very effective against Marines, but has a minimal effect on Siege Tanks.
The damage classes and their effectiveness in relation to the three unit sizes are as follows:
- weapons are equally effective against all types of units.
- weapons do 50% damage against Medium units and 25% against Large units.
- weapons do 50% damage against Small units and 75% against Medium units.
Protoss shields always take full damage from all attacks. Buildings are considered "Large" units.
Some attacks, such as the Scarab explosion, also do "splash damage", which means that any units or
buildings within a short radius of the attack point will take a peripheral amount of damage.
The following table lists each unit's size and damage type:
