COMBAT

U N I T S

SENTRYSentries are combat drones

that are equipped with force

field generators and holo-

projectors. These deadly

automatons are used to

bolster the dwindling numbers

of the protoss race, and to

manipulate the outcome of

major battles. Sentries can

deploy massive guardian shields that protect friendly

units, and reduce the damage they take from ranged

attacks. They can also project force field barriers to

stall or split up opposing forces. Sentries also have the

ability to create hallucinatory images that can draw

enemy fire while a real protoss strike force maneuvers

into position to deliver the killing blow.

Attributes: Light - Mechanical -

Psionic

Zergling Zealot

Reaper Hydralisk Stalker

STRONG AGAINST

WEAK AGAINST

Light support unit that can attack both air and ground targets.

Excellent unit to complement your Zealots and Stalkers.

Can project a Guardian Shield that reduces incoming ranged damage.

Able to deploy a Force Field that blocks movement. This is very effective

to block choke points and separate enemy troops.

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

HALLUCINATION: Allows Sentries to create illusory copies of other units. The copies cannot deal damage and die more easily.

VS Terran

Reapers make short work of Sentries; be careful of their Force Fields

however.

Use the Siege Tanks range to pick them off from a distance.

Have a Ghost fire an EMP round at them to drain their energy.

VS Zerg

Spawn Roaches and use the burrow move upgrade to sneak under the

force fields and unburrow on top of Sentries.

Surround them with Zerglings that have the Metabolic Boost upgrade.

Use Hydralisks to attack from range.

VS Protoss

Use Stalkers and focus fire. Sentries are not particularly hardy.

Researching the Blink ability for your Stalkers will give you a tacticaladvantage over Sentries Force Fields.

Zealots can kill them quickly, but getting to them can be tricky.

Researching Charge helps.

Is that an over engineered Protoss hamster ball they carry on their back? Probably some sort of matrix, core, etc. knowing the Protoss.

But still, looks kinda weird.

@Ironspider: he means the corsair on the sc1=sc2 conversion server where you can buid corsairs and phoenixes and

honestly i think a corsair vs valkeryre are tied but with good micro skills you can kill a valkerie.

About guardian shield does 4 sentries using guardian shields at the same time reduce the battlecruisers Anti surface laser to 1 or zero

damage? If not no need to use more than 1 guardian shield then.

@spymaster: They do counter sentries. However, unless the Protoss is going PURE sentry, it's probably not the best ideas,

as Reapers are useless against most other troops.

Can you protect statically placed units with the force field? For example if your team-mate has a tank in siege mode can i put a force

field over it to protect it by making it so you cant select it?

@Starviper: This is a great unit, you just don't know how to use it. It's saved me numerous times in battle, especially

against marine spams.

12/11/10 6:58 AM

@Starviper: Yea and its also the most important unit in the game for Protoss. If you don't build it you lose regardless of a

rush or not.

creamwolf

11/24/10 8:11 PM

This robot is the real reason why Protoss are so weak early on. Think about it, this is the only good defense against rushes. Don't build

it; Your chances are slim at best. You reading all this blizz?

Starviper

1/16/11 5:15 AM

@Mramaizng: well, it only blocks physical movement outside of the field, so u can still select it, but its safe from melee

attackers for the duration of the force field
