StarCraft® II

Primarily a support unit, the remodeled heavyweight Firebat suit packs Quad K12 Punisher grenade launchers that devastate enemy structures and vehicles from a distance. As the Dominion military began to reevaluate its systems, it determined that it was still geared to fight Terran-vs.-Terran battles that were imagined pre-Zerg. There needed to be an increase in armor-shattering combat units with weapons capable of piercing through hardened Zerg carapaces. The Marauder was the answer. These virtual walking tanks have given the Dominion infantry the hard-hitting, easy-to-produce support that had been missing on the front lines.

Countermeasures

VS Terran

Focus fire with Marines and Marauders. Use Stimpacks and Medivac support.
Build a few Tanks and use Siege Mode.
Get Banshees; Marauders cannot attack air targets.

VS Zerg

Research Metabolic Boost and surround them with a large group of Zerglings.
Combine Zerglings with Hydralisks or Mutalisks.
Research Burrow to ambush enemy forces that are on the move.

VS Protoss

Attack with a large group of Zealots. Try to surround the Marauders and fight them in the open. Charge is essential.
Build a few Sentries. Use Guardian Shield to protect your warriors, and Force Field to separate enemy troops or block their escape route.
Get Immortals to support your Zealot force. Be sure to focus fire for maximum effectiveness.
Air units, especially Void Rays, are good against Marauders.
