COMBAT

U N I T S

HIGH TEMPLARThe High Templar are the

most seasoned warriors of the

Protoss armies, an elite cadre

who have advanced far

beyond the Zealots to attain an

even higher plane of martial

focus. Although they excel in

physical combat, High Templar

prefer to use psionic attacks

that they have developed through intensive training.

The Protoss have such powerful psionic abilities that

their presence inadvertently disrupts other life-forms.

With careful guidance, High Templar can learn to

augment this effect, creating storms of raw psionic

energy that can tear apart the minds of lesser species.

Marine Hydralisk Sentry

Ghost Roach Colossus

STRONG AGAINST

WEAK AGAINST

Light psionic unit that can cast powerful spells.

Can use Feedback to drain enemy units of their energy and damage

them simultaneously.

Great against large groups of units that have small health pools once

they gain the ability to cast Psionic Storm.

Two High Templars can combine to form an Archon, a psionic warrior

that can attack air and ground targets.

Excellent as overall army support.

Can be used to annihilate the opponent’s economy if you manage to

drop High Templars behind his mineral line and cast Psionic Storms.

Can be warped into the Battlefield by means of a Warp Gate.

PSIONIC STORM: Allows the High Templar to summon a storm of psionic energy, causing heavy damage to every unit in the area of effect.

KHAYDARIN AMULET: Increases the starting energy of High Templars.

VS Terran

Use a Ghost to fire an EMP round and drain their energy, then finish them

off with Sniper rounds.

Ravens with seeker missiles are great against High Templars.

Launch Banshees and research Cloaking Field. Target the High Templars

from afar.

VS Zerg

Spawn Roaches and research Tunneling Claws, Gilial Reconstitution, and

Organic Carapace. This will allow them to move underground to a High

Templar and take it out. Also, the Organic Carapace boosts their

regeneration to a point where they can nonchalantly bathe in a Psionic

Storm while burrowed.

Use the Infestor’s Mind Control ability and cast Psionic Storm on your

enemies.

Spawn Mutalisks, and keep them moving. Their speed should allow them to

get out of every Psionic Storm without suffering much damage.

VS Protoss

Use Immortals, Colossi or other units with large health pools. Stalkers with

blink are also useful.

Attack with units that do not use energy, and do not clump them together.

Always be on the lookout for High Templars.

Use Dark Templars to go around the enemy’s defenses and eliminate the

High Templars.

@NyghtTyme: So if you took that High Temp and used its Psi Storm vs the first one, it now does nothing? O.o

And that is why you dont bring logic into gaming...

Does psi storm work on other high templars? Cause it says they use storm to tear apart the minds of lesser species, so how could it

work on another high templar?

FreakSheet

@VoodooChild: And the same Psionic Storm and slow speed but he dies as Zeratul reaches his Void Seeker.

JetfirePrime

2/19/11 12:48 AM

@JetfirePrime: Actually, in the newer versions of Sc2, you can check the abilities of other units in the "help" menu. Karras is

not only a stronger version of the HT, He also has another ability called "Plasma Surge" which restores 50 shield points to

allied units in an area of effect.

VoodooChild

2/19/11 12:30 AM

That Karass guy in Whispers of Doom is no Different than a normal high templar.

JetfirePrime

2/19/11 6:51 PM

@VoodooChild: I would agree IF those stim loving freaks do not use stims and move alot slower to be killed by Psionic

Storms.

@Guardian: dude 4-6 Hts can pwn a full force with full energy. 8 is just overkill unless you want to take out the medivacs as

well

"Although they excel in physical combat, High Templar prefer to use psionic attacks that they have developed through intensive training"

what a waste. they could probably just run instead of slowly floating around as well.... i bet they would be super awesome if they could

use physical attacks/their legs

If you don't make psi storm aren't HT's just pretty additions to your army? They don't have a single spell unless upgraded.

DragonFist

Im pretty sure that the unit model for High Templars is like 99.9% the same as priests from WC3...

Protoss rule!!!!!

But how do they eat or breath? They don't appear to have mouths... Or noses, for that matter.

I remember that tassadar would actually attack instead of having to do storm or feedback in starcraft1

Protoss rant #10: High Templars: "Mr. Artanis, how many Roaches, Ghosts, Marauders, Immortals, Vikings, Siege Tanks, or Banshees (All

of which are below HT tech) does it take to kill a lone High Templar with full energy?" "Two, at most."

Starviper

@bleep: What if they are old and need to use their wise old brains to make them float and send down storm clouds of 

psionic electricity?

Lol protoss have no real countermeasure "Attack with units that do not use energy, and do not clump them together." Is a general tip.

So are the other two, when you think about it.

Starviper

11/25/10 3:24 AM

HT's with stalkers are the best Battle cruiser counter. Just cast feedback on the BC's (which takes out a lot off their health), then shoot

them down with stalkers.

@Starviper: man you should play as protoss before you make your smart remarks cause everyone is sick of 'em k?

ScareCrow

@Starviper: The High Templar is most likely not alone. They are spellcasters most of the time protected by other units

GhostRider

@Starviper: High templars are not frontline combat units, and they never were meant to be, even in sc1. Their psionic

storm is suppose to be used behind the frontline when zealots or something else that's easy to mass and can soak up

damage, so that they can deal damage and run. They can also be used to instant-kill ravans, overseers, other high

templars, or sentries when conditions are right. If they are out of energy and the player is too impatient to wait, they can

use 2 to form an archon, who is uncounterable on the open battlefield and counters all zerg units.
