Starcraft 2 Protoss Warp Gate Guide



With the help of a Starcraft 2 Protoss Warp Gate Guide it becomes possible to deploy the Protoss in a more effective manner. Their ability to mani[censored] te both space and time is far superior to that of the other races whose understanding of such things is limited at best.

Using a Warp gate in the right way can help you in a variety of ways. These are structures that can open a special rift through which the forces will find it easy to be warped straight from their own territories to a battlefield.



The use of a Warp Gate also means that a lot of energy will be expended. At the same time, a gateway can only be functional after it gets its power from the psionic matrix that is formed with a pylon network.

After establishing the gateway, you can reconfigure it to turn it into a Warp gate. You must have the Warp Gate technology researched from the Cybernetics Core before before you can upgrade gateways into Warp Gates. In its basic functionality however, the warp gate is very similar to the gateway.

Both these devices open special rifts but an unit that is moving through a gateway is only going to end up emerging very close to the structure. A warp gate would be more effective because it can deploy units to anywhere in a battlefield provided that the location lies inside the psionic matrix.

Warp gates can also be used along with warp prisms. When the two are combined the warp gate gives your forces much greater flexibility in where they will be deplo[censored] . Warp gates can also be used for the transportation of your warriors straight to a pylon on the front line. These gates can also help in transporting defenders to any outpost with a pylon that is beleaguered and also to build up an attack group in any sector with pylons.

Warp gates are very useful and this factor makes it necessary for enemy commanders to be wary of their power. In fact, the enemy commanders will usually be on the lookout for any warp prisms or hidden pylons. If these commanders are not careful, they can very easily face a situation in which they will be confronted by a complete army of Protoss who will be able to attack from an unexpected direction.

As a result the Warp Gate when combined with forward-placed pylons and Warp Prisms can be very devastating to an unprepared opponent when used correctly.
