:) Yeah they're faster than they were in SC1, but also weaker

in sc1 they were OP as shit, they would fire once and kill like 5 hydras if you had them bunched up

@@andreidinescu1045 in sc1 the shots were also using the unit ai that everything else was using so.... depending on ur RNG it could actually do either a ton of damage or no damage

Their weakness aren't the movement speed but their giant frame with make them struck. Same problem as Dragoons.

+Moritarty Cups :)

Funnily enough Photon Cannons used to be mobile in the development of StarCraft. They could phase out, disabling their weapon but allowing them to move to another area. This new type of Photon Cannon was the reason why they got heavily visually redesigned from StarCraft 1, but by SC2's release they acted the exact same way as in SC1 so that was pointless.

+Jason987262 apparently not ;]

+Jason987262 Why I like the purifiers. All mechanical and apparently they have no issue doing that.

They don't have medics because they cannot regenerate their own flesh (hence the dragoons and immortals). The humans can artificially grow human tissue, and the zero naturally develop tissue while on creep.

+Jason987262 If the protoss could regain their health aswell they would be too op and unbalanced because of the protoss shields which would make them too hard to kill

+Andrew Wiggins that sounds legit but then you remember Terran medic can heal protoss biologicals. Not to mention Artanis himself can heal his troops it's just gameplay balance

There is in fact not a single cloaked enemy unit throughout all of Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void's campaigns - hostile zerg might have some burrowed stuff, but no hostile Lurkers, so not a threat that requires detection. You have no mobile detection in either campaigns, and Overseers are absent as well. A curious decision, honestly.

Phonenix does not need to channel. honestly this video is poorly made

@@narinar3398 c u

+xLetalis wow, these units are very powerful. i can't wait to see you use them on serpon and his team in the next starcraft streams. Also, good luck with the brutal guides.

+Brick Breaker they aren't usable in the multiplayer ;]

+Heo Gaming glad you found it ;]

+Bob Bobby oh yes I think you're right

+xLetalis yep, it applies a debuff that increases all damage taken by 5 per hit, for 5 seconds. this includes damage from stuff like colossus fire or psi storms. tricky to use, but you can have the shade follow a unit to keep re-applying the debuff and combine with rapid attacking units

+Ano Nymous you're welcome :)

This is gow I thought it eould be in the end but blizzard already have balance issues with unified units. I don't want to think the mess it if they implement this Allthought if done correctly it would be 100% better imo

I think so

I agree

+Kevin Duane Lacuata Yeah... mind-boggling, really.

The Scout should have been the Tal'darim assault ship. It would have made sense storywise. The destroyer sucks.

Ignacio Ortega Piwonka Nah. They should've replaced the Phoenix. The Mirage was a buffed version it.

+Ignacio Wrong, Scout was going to be the purifier assault ship.

I love Energizers, them and sentinels can destoy so many bases.

It needs more micro and apm

micro? no, is more like protoss stimpacks only with energy lmao and also every units can get stimpacked by energizers. :D Enerfizers are fun to use and make it easier to get the mastery achievements... trully op unit.

+Gildo Cravo np ;]

Yes! Corsairs + cannons

Snakie corsairs are like other starfighters.They block ground and do little damage to air

+KT Kuhlman by other factions do you mean the Zerg and Terran? If so... I find it pointless, since the Terran doesn't have much variation and the Zerg has the evolution missions which serve the purpose of this video :)

+xLetalis oh ok. That makes sense

+DarkTemplarsVoid that would be cool indeed, I suspect an arcade game will come that will offer it if it isn't there already ;]

+DarkTemplarsVoid Look up the Mass Recall mod :)

1. Melee warrior - Aiur Zealot is all-round powerful, An powerful upgrade version of normie. Quite useful but lacking survivability need some support. [Some sentry and guardian shell help these guys a lot and more Beyblade] - Nerizim Centurion is a niche, Stun is very good but lack mean to deal damage by itself and easily died by other non-stunting units. [I like to use him at early stage but LOTV doesn't has unit upgrade like co-op so these guys are less useful against Hybrid and void] - Purifier Sentinel is a tank and lane stalling, He has two life mean he is a good meatshield for other and can stalling the lane is the best. [I usually put 2-3 of these guy to defend the base with shield battery and guardian shield hold my base very well. When I attack I trains them as 7 - 8 at most for stalling and use range units to destroy enemy] **Zealot beyblade can pass through enemy somehow a micro can deal insane damage/Centurion boi for micro but lacks damage/Sentinel stalls at all cost

2. Ranged warrior - Aiur Dragoon is a tank but lack versatile, He need many unit to support him to shrine or his giant frame will turn our units to SC1 pathfinder will block other unit and reduce it usefulness. [He needs Energizer speed buff and Vanguard to actual fight well and he lacking dps against light armor dps enemy] - Nerazim Stalker, These guy gain a lot of love. If he has more damage like the co-op and versus. No one will play Dragoon. [He can deal any situation, even without support because it agile and survivability through shield regen-blink] - Purifier Adept is the worst, low mineral cost but slow attack speed and it slight more hp and shield doesn't help for her to remove Mutalisks and Marines (Once I used her as support. She did a very bad job, Can't support frontline and deal baby damage to air with Mutalisks and Guardians kill all of them in no time). The transfer lacking versatile of the Stalker so hard to actual use in campaign. even co-op remove this as well [Blizzard remove her bounce attack for the pretend of "micro" and doesn't give this bounce in Campaigns or normal co-op, So her usefulness is not worth it] **Dragoon can be the greatest force if we place them correctly/Nerazim deal low daamge compare to other but it can survive longer and doesn't eat space/Adept why is it here (This doesn't mean she is actually weak or useless but herfulfulness is limit. Compare to Stalker who can use in all type of situation or Dragoon who deals simple high damage....Adept isn't useful during final stage and need ability micro for actual combat advantage with doesn't help much if you have other unit to do the job)

3. Robotic Assault - Aiur Immortal is the tankiest unit in term of cost-efficiency, I uses these guy as second frontline. [He lacks proper dps, Put Dragoon or siege robotic behind him and use attack speed buff can solve the problem] - Nerazim Annihilator is another niche, He loses barrier for mini-yamato cannon. But the cooldown is too long to use frequency and he likely dies before the second shot. [Anti-all cannon is useful but it is lacking the steadfast of normal immortal of dedicated to ground-armour like the vanguard reduced his usefulness in many situation. even assault the enemy structure has less damage than vanguard.......Even anti-air has void ray and corsair] - Tal'darim Vanguard is the beast, Highest damage against a group of enemy, even has the lowest attack speed but has better range and spread damage. If use speedbuff he can one-on-one Ultralisk [His weakness is he need a lot of tank units so he can't misfire but he is the best when fire with large army like the end video....He lacks versatility] **Immortal is normal way with increase its longetivity for more damage/Annihilator need a lot of micro and powerful frontline but if do He is one of the best snipe unit/Vanguard, Not many units can survive first salvo from a group of them

4. Cloaked Warrior - Nerazim Dark Templar is a very powerful damage dealer with very friendlier for beginner and skilled. [invaluable warp attack is powerful but this clock units are fragile so Corsairs help him to survive for another warp attack and for high damage slash]. - Aiur Avenger is a clock version of sentinel base defender. He is good for defensive than attack enemy base. Build Dark shrine and shield battery in enemy assault pattern is the best way to use him. [Protoss Campaign doesn't has transport. So usually playstyle is to lay waste anything on player path instead of base snipe by normal ground units] - Tal'darim Blood hunter is very useful but will depend on player situation. [He can seal enemy but sadly can't attack, If the game make the sealed units can be attack but has the lowest aggro or must click attack. This will make him very powerful in all term] **DT,Doesn't know how to play? A lot of DTs and strong front can clear objective very easily/Avenger a normie way to play DT which give us a secnd chance/BH for stalling dangerous units skilled play will not use autocast

5. Robotic support - Aiur Sentry is ........ I don't like to use it. Because it was the defensive support rather than assaults' support. So I trains other robotic support to help my army to deal highest damage possible for survivability instead of steadfast far too long. [Protoss can't heal their HP in many normal situation. So I wait for Carrier to fix them-up and use Guardian shell to prolong their life. I don't waste too many gas in early game for shield healer. We already has shield battery.....And higher difficult AI trend to attack it first while heal shield. So I waste a lot of gas for this] - Purifier Energizer is da best. Nothing is better than attack and movement speed buff. This mean it will help many high attack but slow attack speed to deal very high dps and the buff itself use nearly neglect any energy consumption. A small number of Energizer can buff entire army to become the engine of destruction. [He can help warp-in units so he can fill frontline in short time but beware of wasting resource] - Tal'darim Havoc is another best support. His role is contrast to Energizer. If the latter allows endgame strike. Havoc is very good for sniping anything before enemy can retaliate. Damage buff and Range buff help range unit greatly. [He helps defend the base more easily and very good in final mission] **Sentry is very useful but the higher the difficult the harder they can be useful (Banshee can destroy Sentry in 2 shots)/Puriflier is simply how to destroy enemy as fast as possible but units survival depend on how fast we destroy enemy/Havoc an good upgrade for range army and debuff enemy(need some micro)

J D well, enemies take bonus damage when shades are inside them

i have found to like the energizer for the mechanical support and leaning twords the carrier for the capital ship i just cant choose for the mechanical siege ill just probably do the classic colossus

I don't think they are a must have

RisenGuide vanguards do the most damage normally and they do splash damage. Annihilators are ok until you get vanguards. Dark templar are actually also a must have because the shadow dance is just broken op.the mother ship is only good in the last mission for those annoying flanking ships. It wipes them out so fast and it can blink around. Sentinels are perfect because the role of a zealot is really just to take damage. Centuriens is what i equip until i get sentinels. With the colosus its kinda a must have but no. The reaver is similar and the wrath walker is bad. The only reason i chose dark archon is mind control. The dragoon is the simplest to use more range and health. Energiezers are freakin pylons and they are just op with their energize abilty. They are simple. The sentry is boring the havoc is all right. Tempests are really a no for me. Carries are just rapid fire.

Vladislav Morari Yea they do, but you don't really need the damage. I only agree that the Sentinel is a must have

HyperNova 200 avengers are much better than dark templar. Would you choose limited damage or infinite? Specially knowing that most LotV missions arent time-limited

ofc not lol

Uforianer there is HERC, in covert ops and all of those custom games

+Patxiku93 yep, it's possible, you could also recall them with an arbiter

xLetalis the good old Protoss cheese. Shame you can't have Reavers online

+Cody Craft You can use some of them, not every one of them got ported there and what you can actually use depends on your commander. There are three Protoss commanders. - Artanis gets Whirlwind Zealot, Dragoon, High Templar, Double-Graviton Phoenix, Tempest and Barrier Immortal. - Vorazun gets Stun Zealot, Stalker, Area Damage AND Disable Unit Dark Templar (Not two types, just one DT with both spells), Dark Archon, Corsair and Void Ray. - Karax gets Revive Zealot, Speed Boost/Power Field Sentry, Phasing Armor Phoenix, Carrier and the Immortal with the active single target damage. They can also do some extra stuff that these units couldn't do in the campaign: - Artanis'; Archons merged from High Templar can use Psionic Storm and Feedback unlike normal Archons or the one in the campaign. - Vorazun's Corsairs can be upgraded to be permanently cloacked. - Vorazun's Dark Templar have double shields. - Vorzaun's Dark Templar can be upgraded to also have Blink like Stalkers. - Karax's Sentry can take control of enemy mechanical units for 120 seconds after which they die.

very awesome. I owned the first 2 expansions as well and then decided to buy LoTv and I dont regret you should get it as soon as you can

YESSSSSSSSSS!

i got it now. Finished first two missions, waiting for my new gpu to be installed before i finish the rest.

noice

+Lam Nguyen Le the hoset

:-)

Nope. If you choose dark archon, there will be no high templar for you to train, and so you can't have regular archon and dark archon at the same time.

cant use combine dark Templar?

Argon Hammer You can't. Dark archon are warped directly from the gateway(replace high templar), not combining 2 dark templars.

no what I am saying is that can u turn 2 dt into a regular archon

Argon Hammer Okay, I got it. The answer is still no. The enhanced Dark Templars(every original unit of each category get enhanced if you don't choose other factions' variants) have aoe ability instead of archon ability. Only High Templars can merge into a Archon.

+ThisIsntaKZfaqr Not anymore, Blizzard buffed their damage to 16, so they do the same damage as normal Zealots in total

He means they act like Stalkers from earlier versions of StarCraft 2, i.e. since the beginning of SC2, before LotV introduced Dragoons into SC2. There are gonna be people here who don't know the first game well despite having played the second game, so being told that Dragoons are comparable to Stalkers helps them visualize what they play like because they know Stalkers more than they know Dragoons. He mentions the origin of Dragoons later on anyway.

Exactly!

+FroyOrigami I'm asking the same question

Void Rays/Destroyers seem to fulfill the role of core star fighter, in my opinion. And then the Phoenix, Mirage, and Corsair are literally under the "starfighter" category.

Instigator* And.... Btw you cant choose it, same as the Taldarim Carrier and Phoenix and the Nerazim High Templar

Joaquin Garcia No such thing as a Nerazim Dark Templar

@@MaxMikescrool1 There was going to be a Nerazim High Templar in the LOTV campaign. It would have had the Feedback ability instead of the Aiur HT and been permanently cloaked.

khalai (aiur) nerazim tal'darim purifier

He is explaining it to people who did not play sc1 like me

Joshua0531 1.dragoons are zealots that taked too big damage and now is dragoons.was upgraded to immortals. 2.Dark archons are merged dark templar. 3.Arbiters was powerful but theyr technology was lost after lost of aiur. 4.reaver is god fucker 5.shuttle is...drop ship.was changed to warp prisms. 6.corsairs i think never was lost.They was strong but looks like used only by Nerazim. 7.Scouts are...just weak anti ground and strog anti air.was changed to phoenixes. And what is problem?when i started to play sc2 is didn"t knew the lore of sc1 but that was obvious.Mengsk left kerrigan,she became zerg,raynor wants revenge.in sc1 almost all those characters died.you dont need sc1 lore to play sc2

Well, do you also know that: 1. Dark Archons can't attack in SC1, and they can do Maelstorm, Mind Control (150 energy), and Feedback, which is much more weaker than Vorazun's Dark Archon. Vorazun's DA can mind control at 100 energy and have an energy reserve of 200, meaning they can mind control two units at a time, confuse is like a weaker version of mind control, and they can attack like a normal Archon. 2. Arbiter was like the Mothership back in SC1, they can cloak units and Mass Recall. 3. Reaver can kill friendlies. 4. The reason why it is called a Warp Prism because Shuttle can now deploy and have a mini power field so you can warp in units, which in itself is a new Protoss ways of play. In SC1 Warp Gate doesn't exist. 5. Corsair never changed from SC1, that is good. But there was a time back in the early versions of SC1, Corsair's Disruption Web lasted an eternity, like maybe around 10 minutes. Now it is only 10 seconds. 6. Scouts' ground attack is weak, yes, but it is actually a weak AOE damage. If you have a LOT of Scouts, you an obliterate everything on the ground with ease. 7. Starcraft 1 was a game many people enjoyed, and a popular esport in South Korea and still is today, SC2 was nothing compared to SC1, because it was designed by Dustin Browder, who used to work on C&C Red Alert 2, and C&C Generals. In fact, the no units selection limit was C&C's way to play. SC2 can be viewed as a spiritual successor to the now dead Command & Conquer series, and there are a lot of SC2 in-game mechanics that were similar to the old C&C games. But kids nowadays are too young to even know what C&C was all about. I suggest you play Starcraft: Remastered when it comes out so you can truly experience what it was like back in SC1.

+xthatwhiteguyx I stopped using them in co-op because they just don't seem to have the dps I'd prefer.

agreed. I used Stalkers all the time

I know who that is ;]

+Samuel James Super-fast twitch gameplay is not only what requires very high skill with infinite skill ceiling, but, what is more important, microcontrol looks good. Perfect strategy is not obvious, perfect microcontrol can be seen by anybody. On top of that, after millions of games, all good strategies are discovered anyways, and a tournament becomes a battle of memory, not a battle of wits (not that Starcraft doesn't have strategy involved, of course). So SC2, especially LoTV, is a game where a faction controlled by a team of decent players (like, multiple Archon mode in one) would be unbeatable by any single genius player.

and thats why i haven't upgraded to lotv even tho im a protoss player ;( and yes i also think its a bit faster then the old expansions but i might be going crazy

Blizzard should add an option for slower games
