I don't think it's shield related, since ghosts would probably EMP it just the same as any other unit.


mabye its immue to EMP


hahhaaa yeah you would like that...nothing is immune to EMP

I would be very surprised if this isn't the harass unit blizz mentioned they were planning to introduce


Lets say it's a flying harrass unit and it's better at it than pheonix, why would you ever make a pheonix?

Dark Arbiter yo.
As mentioned, the shape is really spiky and aggressive, so it's probably a shakuras-build unit.


mass teleport would coincide with mothership ability too much. maybe it'll have stasis field, but they'll need to have at least 2 abilities for a new unit.

They said they might remove some units from the game so it might be replacement, not addition.

somehow i got the picture that this was a unit that u could upgrade so the carrier would shoot it out vs hydras and marines and it would fly down and stick like a collar and use that energy in the middle to BZZZ and just blow the heads up :D
it's a good day to die

........... How actually did you determine the relative size to other units ? Oh wait, you cant.


Simply by looking at like protoss ground units work. They all clump forming the famous 'deathball' and the biggest ground unit (the collussus) can have units under them. So those 'wings' would certainly take to much space in the deathball and that doesn't fit the protoss army in general. You can say that it can be hovering unit just above the ground army but that would just hide units underneath it and you wouldn't be able to see anything. That doesn't fit SC2 eSports design standarts.

So I guess this unit is for the EU version. Will the US one be in the shape of a dollar sign?

I think that mobile shield battery would actualy balance out EMP...

I like it. I like Blizz's art team in general. One can certainly criticise the design of collo etc, but they look cool.

What if it gets EMP'd?


You mean WHEN?

Is the arguement that protoss cant have a flying shield battery because it might be emped?

Unquestionably stargate. Man, that's ugly though


Sadly, the company they outsource the CG cinematics to has a better grasp on the StarCraft look and feel than Blizzard themselves.

Lol I wouldn't say I agree with you here. That horrid arc seems more zerg (like many have said, ultralisk-like) than protoss to me.


So you do agree with me then? I said that I preferred the art style of Blizz's cinematic team, rather than the people who made the game units.

I don't like these new silhouettes so far. Horrid indeed.

Oh, oops. Pardon my poor reading comprehension lol. Indeed we are in agreement.
