Tactics On How To Use The Mothership in Starcraft 2



Protoss units have improved features compared to the old game. They have a lot of unique abilities and powerful features. The features can be utilized if the unit is properly used. The Mothership is very much like an upgraded Arbiter. Starcraft 2 Mothership tactics will guide you on how to utilize the unique features of the unit.

Unlike the arbiter, the Mothership is more costly and is slower. The game has different units and features which are used in different ways. Construction of the unit is built at the nexus after building a fleet beacon. Players are limited to one Mothership. Some of the best techniques will be provided in this article in order to execute successful strategies.



The vortex ability is powerful, giving players an unique advantage. Units in the vortex do not have the ability to attack the opponent. Players should use this feature to conquer their enemies. The vortex helps you to divide the force of your enemy. You are able to divide and defeat the opponent using this method in the battlefield. Additionally you can use storms and Archons on units emerging from the vortex for maximum effect.

The m[censored] recall is also used as part of the Mothership's strategy. The m[censored] recall differs from the original ability because it covers a large area. This ability allows you to teleport all the units targeted to the current location of the Mothership. Players rarely use the abilitiy because the ship is too slow to use it efficiently.

Since the Mothership is too weak to travel alone, the energy is better used on the vortex. The best time to use this method is when you need to enter the base of the opponent. It helps you to confuse the units of the enemy. It comes in handy when the ground units escort the main ship to the base of the enemy.

The Mothership's cloak is one of its top abilities to use. It cloaks the units which then cannot be seen if the opponent does not use detection. The advantage players get from this ability is being able to stay within sight of the enemy without being seen. This makes it impossible for the enemies to directly attack the units.

One important thing to note is that the Mothership itself will not be cloaked. As such it is still vulnerable to damage as well as abilities such as Feedback from the High Templar or Neural Parasite from the Infestor.
