For myself, IIRC, the units I never seemed to find myself making were: 1. Queens 2. Dark Archons 3. Infested Terrans 4. Valks 5. Ghosts (don't know why, they can be pretty good) 6. Arbiters (okay yes, I should start using these more) 7. Scouts (do make these occasionally, just not often/not in big numbers) Have things changed much since then, and some of these units are actually very popular now? If so, how are they usually employed? | ||

statis is useful before battle/buying time/cutting off ramps etc recalls are also useful esp. in base trading situation (protoss generally has more bases) DA can be used to feedback defielrs (u dont need any research for that so quite handy in pvz) Maelstorm also quite good in late game vs zerg MC basically for stealing carriers | ||

Lots of people are using Queens and Valkyries, just not every game. However, you will be very hard-pressed to find a PvT with no Arbiters. | ||

Dark archons are pretty good midgame to be honest, especially if zerg is being gay with mutas and hitting your high templar. ghosts also super late game to nuke expos and such tvt(well out of siege tank range) arent awful. Valks destroy wraiths like no other unit in the game lol Infested Terrans are a luxury/troll thing for later and queens lategame vs mech are seen often, since they kill tanks in great numbers pretty quickly | ||

Queens are pretty good in ZvT imho DA is pretty good in PvZ Ghosts are occasionally used in TvP lategame vs carriers Valks are pretty good in certain situations in TvZ and TvT And lastly the only legit use of scouts I've seen was ForGG vs Kal(?) on Colloseum where Kal went nex first into a really fast 2 base carriers vs a 3 fact (?) so he killed a couple of tqnks + forced turrets, goliaths, he ended breaking out and winning the game. In that specific game not making scouts would probably be the wrong move. List: 1. Infested Terran 2. Scout 3. Ghost 4. Valk 5. DA 6. Queen NOTICE: No arbiters on the list | ||
