It can shoot air, but is weak against it
does more dmg + splash against ground units will probably require the fleet beacon to unlock this unit and probably cost about 150minerals and 200gas calling it
finally Air Toss is going to come into play!!!

It's only weakness with be the Joker holding a gigantic revolver with a 3 foot long barrel.

That's probably a Terran unit.

LOL@ all the people who say this unit looks bad, or useless, or are unneeded, or waaahh protoss don't need a new air unit:
What are you going on? A silhouette. You have NOTHING to base it on. For all you know, this unit can tunnel underground. It could be the size of a mothership, or the size of a scourge. It could come from the robo facility... it could be a spell caster, or a harass unit. It could have 5000 health and shields. There is NO way of knowing anything.
It is very fun to speculate based on the silhouette, but complaining about it? That is just stupid.

The meaning of life is to fight.

Protoss version of the Wraith with attached Ultralisk tusks. You heard it here first.

take away mothership and add this in, maybe we have our arbiter back?

Ever think it might be something like a flying shield battery out of the robo or something?

^Lol, nice.

Looks kinda weird. It's definitely not something that comes out of a Gateway. Looking forward to seeing what HotS brings, over all.

I assume someone else has already said this, but I'm not reading 23 pages.

It resembles a cylon raider.

possible.

My best 3 guesses from most likely to least likely:

1.) Updated phoenix. No AtA attack but rather has a GtA like a banshee. This is the new protoss harass unit that doesn't require 4 of to be useful (like how you need 3-4 phoenix to do damage). Shoots lightning at the ground, there may be an upgrade that gives it bounce properties like the mutalisk attack. I seriously wouldn't put it past blizzard to give this thing chain lightning attacks.

2.) Air Spell caster. No attacks whatsoever but has abilities like Chain Lightning which targets one unit and attacks 3-5 targets near each other. Probably also has an ability which blinds defensive structures like a corsair. Possible that it may also have some arbiter abilities as well like a miniature Recall.

3.) Hover unit that builds from robotics and can hop up and down cliffs. This unit can only attack ground and is very fast. This would be the protoss version of a reaper and it's main function is harass.
