Aliens
are what Protoss are in Starcraft 2, they are advanced and much more highly
technological than what the humans can imagine. Their technologies allow them to warp in a massive army in the blink
of an eye, and more amazingly they can yield pys powers to generate a shield
around their units.
The Protoss is also a race that it is extremely versatile and highly
adaptable to the rough this of environments in the universe.
In order for the Zerg to construct their structure they most morph or
sacrifice one of their Drone, and the Terran must commit an SCV to construct
their builds at all time. Protoss has the special ability to literally warp in their buildings
or structures. This is mainly because that for most part Protoss has the longest
build time as well as the most expensive structures and units in the game.
And this is one of the biggest problems with the Protoss race, but
this "problem" is also going to lead us into our first tip of this
Starcraft 2 Protoss guide.
The Mysterious Chrono Boost
There is a special magical button with every Nexus call the Chrono
Boost. This special ability allows you to drastically decrease the amount of
time that is required for their structures, units, and their research. And because of that, every Protoss strategy uses it in one way or
another. Builds such as early expansion builds which focuses on getting an
economical advantage uses Chrono Boost on the Nexus to get out more Probes
faster.
Also, the Chrono Boost ability is crucial part of the popular 4
Warpgate rush build. Because the Chrono Boost allows you to speed up the
research time of the Warpgate technology. Without it, you won't get your Warp Gate tech fast enough to make the
rush worth it. Additionally you can also use the ability on Warpgate themself to
make more units faster. It allows you to reduce the cool down time between each warp in, thus
giving you units early to defend against any early aggressions.
Now that we have discussed the macro aspect of Protoss strategies, the next tip
is about Protoss Micro Management.
Protoss Micro Management
A key aspect of managing your units as a Protoss player is to remember
to always separate all your units into different groups. A good way of grouping your unit is to group all attacking units
together such as Zealots and Stalker, and then group support units together in
another. The idea is to have your attackers in the front to protect your
support unit so they can use their special abilities such as Guardian Shield.
Managing
your units or groups this way will allow you to move your entire army forward
without having to worry about losing all your support units. This is pretty much all the micro management you'll new as a beginner
Protoss player, and of course there are more but it's not something you need to
worry about right now.
And this concludes our Protoss guide, hopefully this will help you get started and win some games right away.
