People are automatically calling this a stargate unit, why can't it be a ground harass unit? Thats what Protoss needs, not another Phoenix.

Ground Harass units usually have legs or a shape that suggests traveling along the ground. This looks like a flying unit of some kind.


Hover? Not necessarily flying like a Phoenix, but can only move along the ground, obstructed by cliffs and ramps etc.

It's a tie in promotional unit for an upcoming movie.

but on a serious note, I think it's probably AtA splash of some sort.

It looks to me like a reversed Sentry with no Khaydarin orb thingy, so I voted Gateway.

Definitely looks like a Corsair/Phoenix to me. I'm assuming the WoL Phoenix is gone but maybe not.

This is the unit Protoss truly needs. The marauder would ask him why he left them hanging then he would go into a racist/anti-Semetic rant that would make all the Terran units suicidal and they would all stim themselves to death.

This new unit has the wings like on a shuttle. I would still guess it is a phoenix/corsair hybrid that shoots both air and ground and maybe has something more useful than gravitron beam for harass.

^^^^THIS

I really think this is fine. Carriers maybe gain splash damage? Hopefully they need to be viable again


Maybe you'll be able to build a different type of Interceptor at the Carrier so you can pick and choose what you want your individual Carriers to be good at.

Not going to lie the 3 new units designs just aren't very impressive to me :/. But this is obviously a stargate unit which is going to imo replace the void ray I have a feeling.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Anything that makes carriers more attractive is win.

The first thing I thought of was the guardian from sc1, but like people have said it could be a ground based unit too. I guess no point in speculating, just have to wait till the 22nd for the full reveal.

This is interesting. I have a few initial reactions here. First off there is a good line of speculation out that it is a stargate unit. This seems likely and it goes to a very important point made by TheKefka
I'm pretty sure one the current stargate units are going to go byebye.

Seeing as blizzard has been talking about getting rid of generic and boring units I could see this coming along to replace the void ray which has always been a powerful unit when used correctly but never a particularly interesting unit like the phoenix. If this is the case then we can expect something unique to differentiate this unit from the average air to ground harassment type.

But there are other possibilities beyond the stargate it is worth considering. First off note the similarity this unit has to a sentry, the energy at the center of the unit is visible in the drawing and the spiky nature of this unit is certainly more present in a sentry than it is in any protoss air unit. I could see a unit which you would deploy using some other mechanism in battle as you would a PDD to give yourself some type of advantage.
Never Forget.

looks speedy..and iirc Browder mentioned in some interview that they wanted some more harass options for protoss.. maybe this replaces phoenix? seems more likely than being added alongside phoenix. suppose it could replace void ray...

This looks extremely cool, probably a harassment unit like most are saying.

I actually thought it was a new structure at first.
