Starcraft 2: Races (Protoss)

Protoss Dark Templar
Protoss is the races that specializes in psionic technology and is considered the most advanced race. Their units have a futuristic theme often plated in gold armor. Protoss units are very expensive compared to other races but they are more powerful so the focus is quality of units instead of quantity. This requires a bit more skill because you have to try your best to keep each unit alive as losing each unit will affect you greatly. Units are warped from the planet Aiur which is the homeland of the Protoss. All Protoss untis have shields as well as health but their shields regenerate when the unit is out of combat which can help preserve your army. All buildings must be built around a Pylon which is the supply building for the Protoss that gives off psionic energy which buildings need to operate.

The worker unit for the Protoss is the probe which warps buildings so one probe can make another building before the previous one finishes which other workers cannot do. The following units are warped in by the Gateway. The zealot is a melee unit that is most often used for taking damage as they have a lot of health for their cost. Stalkers are ranged units that are very versatile when blink is upgraded which allows them to teleport. The sentry is a spell casting unit that can cast force field which blocks units, hallucination which creates a clone of a unit and guardian shield which reduces damage around the sentry.
