Looks like it's either an air unit or some weird sentry morph without the energy ball in the middle.

They are taking out phoenixes and replacing them with this air unit that only attacks air but has an aoe lightning ball attack similar to the hunter seeker missle. make it happen.

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

In the case that it's a ground unit, it probably would be a hovering, robotic unit, similar to the Sentry, though I would expect it to be built from the Robo Facility rather than from Gateways.

In that case, it's still viable that perhaps this "super Sentry" charges up its attacks, which is visually represented by the electric ball in the middle. As the charge grows, the ground attack becomes stronger, possibly also doing a decent amount of splash damage a la Reaver-style. However, it needs to charge before battle, and each attack depletes the charge.

As a result, I could see this unit being paired with the Warp Prism for harassment. The unit gains charge while in the Warp Prism, then gets dropped to nuke a worker line before being lifted again to safety as it regains its charge.

Basically Reaver 2.0.


This would be sick.

I'm sure they'll consider that the enemy could see that unit charging up, and can just run away. Somewhat like baiting FFs. Maybe early release? But still, it'd be hard getting a fully charged shot off.

We'll see soon enough.

Void Rays arent really harass units and pheonix are ok i guess as harass but not really that great compared to a number of other units that the other races have.

Ground unit imo. It needs to be a fast, harras unit on the ground to give protoss some safe mapcontrol and really good mobility/harras

ffs, now the game will be broken with a four stargate. They'll probably be able to warp them in too.
Don't take me seriously, I'm no Pro. Neither are you.

wtf? Why would blizzard release a silhouette for a unit that looks just like a phoenix? It looks SO much like a phoenix that I can't help but feel dissappointed. Sure, update the phoenix in HotS but don't give me a preview of it! I already know what a phoenix looks like god dammnit!

It could be a robo bay unit. Perhaps it's a unit to fill the role of the old shield battery structure and that's what the lighting arcs through the middle are indicative of.

My two cents ...
Evolution from the Phoenix that has a Battery shield ability ... like the building in BW

Carrier Interceptor upgrade: Interceptors now kamikaze into their targets dealing splash damage to units nearby. Destroys Interceptor.

Flying Banelings? Oh yes.
