My point exactly. So I really can't see this being a healing unit. | ||

Edit : as for the people saying it's a splash unit I can't see that happen unless they remove the colossus, or the deathball would be utterly impossible to hold as zerg with high templars, colossi and an air splash unit. | ||

First, by that shape, is it a Aiur based vessel or a Shakuras built one? In other words was it made by regular protoss or dark templar? The shape seems to indicate DT origins, while it is round and somewhat streamlined like all protoss units the spikes somehow don't fit regular protoss architecture, but would probably be great for DTs. Secondly what will its role be? Being of DT origins it could have one or more interesting special abilities, stalkers can blink, void rays can charge up, what does this do? However the most important question really is, how will this unit synergyzes better with the rest of the protoss air force? What about this unit is going to want to make you chose to go for an air army as opposed GW or GW+ Robo army? Given how Stargate builds where successful for a while vs zerg, but zerg now has figured out ways to counter them, the Protoss might need a bit of extra umph there. Another way to look at this though is that, Hydras are quite underused, in general zerg doesn't want to make them because they are hard countered by colossus and HT, perhaps this other air unit is their attempt to encourage more Hydra play. As for TvP, that is going to be more difficult to determine. Marines rape protoss air, if you also factor in vikings the protoss is barred from going air, maybe this new unit can help in that regard, though I kind of doubt it. | ||

Ah, there is where the ultralisk head butt animation went. | ||
