Zealots are eaten up by splash and bonus damage while Adepts can't deal any real damage against them. Archons are strong against almost every Protoss unit, but most notably when up against Gateway units.
This may be especially useful to follow a DT Fast Expand, as the saved gas allows for a faster transition into a more "standard" method of play. However, the Protoss may use High Templar to save minerals for building chargelots, since chargelots are powerful when paired with archons. Gas is a more "precious" resource within StarCraft II because it is used for teching and upgrades therefore, it may be better to warp in Dark Templar to make Archons. Players often merge Archons when High Templar run out of energy in the field, or if the opponent has detectors that vitiate the Dark Templars' main strength. This makes them especially useful in PvP timing pushes because many players rely on Force Fields for defense. Colossi require a Robotics Bay in addition to the Colossus itself, whereas a High Templar's Psionic Storm costs 75 energy and must be researched.Īrchons are massive units ergo, they crush Force Fields on contact. The Colossi and High Templar require some time to reach their potential. They are a Protoss player's quickest access to area of effect damage. Morphing Archons can be moved behind the army as protection, or taken to retreat with the rest of the army.Īrchons are often used as part of or against a timing push. Archons cannot be commanded as they merge, but they can be bumped around like big psionic soccer balls by moving units into them.
Because they have a range of 3, Archons can sit safely behind a line of Zealots and deal damage to the enemy forces without taking much damage.īecause Protoss shields regenerate rapidly out of combat, Archons are much more effective if they pull out of battle before they die. Archons primarily function as support units. Bonuses against massive units only apply to air targets and Graviton Beam can't target massive unitsand Legacy of the Void has no bonuses against Psionic units Snipe was removed.Īs such, the Archon is an effective all-rounder unit - apart from Ghostswho can use EMP Rounds to tear through their shields, there is no one unit that works especially well against the Archon.
Archons' tremendous shield points can withstand terrible punishment, offsetting their exceptionally low health: an Archon has only ten health points beneath its shield.Īrchons have very few attributes they are considered Massive and Psionic. Archons can attack air or ground units and deal area-of-effect damage. An Archon is created when two of either Dark Templar or High Templar merge together on the battlefield the Archon cannot be produced at any building. It excels against biological units and structures. The Archon is a powerful Protoss short-range unit.
