any air unit can work too If your scouting or noticing just zealots. choke your point. few zealots, holdramp with stalker sentry. tech to air or robo. i do like how the whole ive got more stalkers than you has gone, although realistically if your near his base with stalkers you can micro them back and take out a good number of his, Blink stalkers > zealots with or without leg speed. Dts are another option. as he'll have no detection,can transition into VR or HT tech. | ||

Screw stalkers unless you mass only them and feel like kiting. | ||

Zealots early game on the other hand is kinda annoying.. Seems like every pvp i play is either 2-gate zealots or super-crazy fast warpgate into mineral line asian style.. | ||

To be honest... most ladder matches I've seen mass Zealot it goes into Void Rays and they try to win that way. I've had a lot ragequit when they realize I have 12 stalkers and they're only on their second VR. The only time I go mass Zealot is if I scout them being greedy and trying to go Robo too quickly. That's more their fault for being greedy though. | ||

Forcefield gives a strong defenders advantage to toss, so abuse it to prevent early aggression. | ||

1. Force fields - Force fielding a choke is obvious. If you split zealots in half, it's game right there. In open field engagements, you want to force field around your units so that there is less space for the enemy zealots to attack, but all your stalkers can attack fine. 2. Engagement angle - When engaging zealots, make sure it's ball vs ball. Do not spread your troops or allow your opponent to spread their troops. Your opponent's zealots will take a longer time to find their way around to attack you while you are constantly firing at them. There is less surface area in a ball so a lot of your units are protected. Fighting pure zealots does not require any sort of tech. All you need are your own zealots, stalkers, and a few sentries. If your opponent is just containing you in and not engaging your ramp, then jump straight into void ray. | ||

B) Well-microed stalkers can defeat larger numbers of zealots (unless they have Charge and you don't have Blink) | ||
