PROTOSS
For thousands of years, the ancient and
mysterious protoss have used their alien
technology and psionic power to maintain
order and peace in their part of the galaxy.

PROTOSS OVERVIEW
CLICK TO WATCH

With their highly advanced technology and potent psionic abilities, the protoss PROTOSS CHARACTERISTICS
once considered themselves the most powerful species in the galaxy. Their war

with the zerg has proved otherwise: even the most individually capable warrior HEAVY HITTERS
cannot overcome such insurmountable numbers. The lesson has been a hard one Pound for pound, the protoss field
StarCraft II’s strongest and most
for the protoss, for their society is built around core philosophies that have been
durable units. That power comes at a
rigidly adhered to for over a thousand years. However, the zerg invasion of the price, as their units tend to be costly.

protoss homeworld of Aiur has brought the race to a crossroads: the protoss

must embrace change if they are to survive and prevail.

WARP-IN
Warp technology is an integral part of
protoss tactics. Via a psionic matrix
formed by a network of pylons or
phase prisms, protoss forces can be

battlefield at a moment’s notice.

SHIELDS
Protoss units and buildings are
equipped with protective energy
shields. These shields can only soak up
a limited amount of damage before
failing, but they recharge after a few
seconds.
Now new tactics and technologies are being brought to bear in the increasingly

desperate battle against the zerg, and ancient, terrible weapons the protoss set

aside long ago are being unleashed. The protoss have never been a prolific PSIONICS

why did they take out dragons?

JetfirePrime 8 hours, 20 minutes ago

@Ada: Dragoons do not teleport and they suck against units that overwhelms them like Marines and Immortals take their

place due to they got shields that can make them challenge super powerful units that got high damage attacks like Thors.

Zealous 1 hour, 56 minutes ago

@JetfirePrime: your just saying that because you dont want dragoons with 20 damage to smash those little marauders.

Ada 9 hours, 51 minutes ago

Shakakuras should really be added to worlds.

random 3 days, 17 hours ago

i hate toss!!!!! terran rocks

JetfirePrime 3 days, 1 hour ago

@random: I will never forgive their ranged weapons like the Interceptors, Void Ray beams and mothership beams cannot

be stopped by Raven PDDs. PDDs totally protected my outnumbered terran flyers from Zerg range attackers and any non-

marine attackers.

what could be better than awesome protoss in the high-tec?

Panda 4 days, 16 hours ago

I love protoss, there just so damn awesome

JetfirePrime 4 days, 12 hours ago

@Panda: Sadly they are outnumbered due to their civil wars and their differences but like Raynor said don't let their

numbers fool you and they say Carriers kill things more faster than other units.

Hakutsuru 4 days, 4 hours ago

@JetfirePrime: face the facts dude, All races war with themselves. Raynors raiders, the dominion. Tal darim, and dark

templar. Kerrigans brood, and brood that gets cerebrates taken away. they are ALL weakened by something or other.

JetfirePrime 4 days, 3 hours ago

@Hakutsuru: I know and its not like the Shakuras temple they got is more devastating than a Terran Nuke is it? Well

Shakuras temple took 15 very hard minutes to defend from the swarm threatening to wipe out the Toss but the Toss and

their photon cannons held very firm until Zeratul said to witness the power of the temple but Terran nukes take 20

seconds to land and they use to do 500 damage to all units(Except BCs from Brood War) and structures but it is faster and

more devastating than any Toss or Zerg weapons even if it can't cleanse the dark Templar world from the Zerg. Anyway if

there is strategies that Players can give that is related to anything you want including how to break through heavily

defended terran defenses as the Toss you guys are free to speak about it.

ATRAZiiNE 4 days, 17 hours ago

i ***!ing hate dark templars there should be a nerf for when the first time you see them you will always be able to see them they can

just keep harassing it is annoying

JetfirePrime 5 days, 9 hours ago

Everyone that is using Khala or void powers have been saying En Taro Tassadar instead of En Taro Adun recently for no reason.

Orion 5 days, 5 hours ago

@JetfirePrime: Tassadar is the newest hero of the Protoss(duh)

. He did what adun did only killed the Overmind>

doorknob 5 days, 12 hours ago

the protoss are good attacking units when you have zealots in the front and stalkers in the back supporting the units in the front. :)

killerbob 2 days, 18 hours ago

@doorknob: throw in a few colosi and you'll win every time :)

me loves protoss

jizzmypants 5 days, 23 hours ago

Honestly i think the creators put the most thought into building the protoss they have more versatile units than any race zerg has fewer

than any to produce effective attacks so in order to win you must keep throwing craploads of units till you win out your opponent sounds

brutal and sacrificial just keep attacking and making more and more that's just crazy i mean you cant be versatile to where you got one

specific unit to where it can counter mass thors i mean broodlords are late very late it takes forever and by the time you get them well

your dead example protoss has specific unit to counter mass marines the Collosus and immortal for thor stalkers well rounded unit but

zerg lacks something like that enough to buy you time to get broods at least a few maybe a unit that can do much more than an

infestor

cman 6 days, 11 hours ago

protoss ROCK

:D

SpaceSheep 2/23/11 3:49 AM

Protoss are the best race.

skartalon 2/21/11 7:02 AM

I see all these people posting an army combo for Toss and people replying with the counter. Keep in mind people with counter list. that

if you DONT have the counter when the army hits, your bum @%@#d even if you KNOW the right counter. KNOW and HAVE are

completely different.
