'''Goliaths''' appear in ''[[StarCraft II]]''. For all intents and purposes, goliaths have been replaced by the [[thor]] and [[viking]] in the game's multiplayer, as all three units function as superior anti-air fighters and armored support vehicles.

==Overview==
In the single-player campaign [[Raynor's Raiders]] still operate them, powering them up in the mission "[[Welcome to the Jungle]]" in anticipation of heavy air resistance from the [[Tal'darim]]. The [[Terran Dominion]] also employs them.

===Strategy===
[[File:Goliath SC2 DevRend1.jpg|thumb|left|Development image]]
Goliaths are strong against vikings (air mode), {{link|battlecruiser|SC2}}s, [[void ray]]s, [[carrier]]s, [[overlord]]s, overseers, wraiths, [[corruptor]]s, and [[brood lord]]s. They are also competent against [[colossus]], as well as some lightweight ground units such as {{link|zergling|SC2}}s and {{link|marine|SC2}}s, though not if they are in large numbers. They are weak, however, against [[marauder]]s, {{link|siege tank|SC2}}s, [[thor]]s, [[diamondback]]s, {{link|zealot|SC2}}s, [[stalker]]s, [[immortal]]s, {{link|hydralisk|SC2}}s, and {{link|ultralisk|SC2}}s, while not being very effective against [[AH/G-24 Banshee|banshee]]s and {{link|mutalisk|SC2}}s.

Compared to the viking, the goliath costs one more supply and is less maneuverable in exchange for being lower on the tech tree and very slight advantages in cost and build time. Its ground attack has higher base damage than the viking, but due to a slower rate of fire has ultimately the same DPS. The goliath's anti-air attack deals slightly better damage than the viking against armored units, and has a better rate of fire, but this comes at a cost of range. Its role as a support walker is enhanced greatly by the Multi-Lock Weapons System upgrade, allowing it to target and attack ground and air units simultaneously and greatly boosting its effectiveness when facing a varied enemy force. Once the viking is acquired the goliath's usefulness decreases greatly, as the viking's upgrades also allow it the advantage of splash damage against air units.

===Co-op Missions===
Goliaths are exclusive to [[Rory Swann (Co-op Missions)|Rory Swann]] in [[Co-op Missions]]. They no longer require a tech lab to build, making them compatible with the [[reactor]]. [[Nova Terra (Co-op Missions)|Nova]] gains access to the advanced [[strike goliath]], with enhanced life, damage and abilities.
