WARP PRISMFor thousands of years the

Protoss have studied the nature

of time and space, gaining

insight into the universes

greatest mysteries. Using

psionic manufacturing

processes, they created a

robotic mind whose

programming is built into the

molecules of an advanced crystal lattice. The resulting

device is able to manipulate matter and energy with

incredible precision. Warp Prisms are used primarily to

transport forces on the battlefield, but they can also be

deployed into Phasing Mode so as to power nearby

structures if necessary. When Warp Prisms are in this

mode, they can temporarily replace destroyed Pylons or

enable rapid expansion.

Can pick up and drop off units in both Transport and Phasing Mode.

Raid enemy bases efficiently by unloading troops in, switching to

Phasing Mode and warping in reinforcements via your Warp Gates.

GRAVITIC DRIVE: Passive bonus to the Warp Prisms movement speed.

You know, that's a very fancy discription of all the intricate little things building up this highly-advanced peice of machinery avaliable only

to the highly-advanced protassians.

And it only costs 200 mins ^^

Dosent it seem like a warp prism would be able to hold alot more units since it just converts them into energy.

icephoenix

1/2/11 6:45 AM

Actually I think that this is one of the most effective units in the game! If you can get 2 of these into phasing mode near an enemies

main base minerals u can get some stalkers and shoot the gatherers down while a noob opponent's army is gathering at the middle of the

map!

Bojimbs

1/12/11 12:24 AM

Have you seen how fast an upgraded Warp Prism is? As fast as a Mutalisk. Very fast.

Doncroft

1/27/11 5:04 AM

You can warp in cannons with these as well in the back of an opponent's base.

Dabura

2/2/11 5:59 AM

I think that maps like lost temple or any map with a ledge can be abused with warp prisms almost as much as medivacs, warp in units

then leave or on maps with 4 spawning locations mess with your opponents mind as you warp in units or just transport them, I use them

when using a 2 gate robo build

LOL. read this 'warp prism; increases movement speed of observers. wow. blizzard really needs to work more on there unit bios. and this

is a upgrade for a warp prism

Oh, and besides warping Dt's on your enemy's mineral line, you can also warp HT and Psi Storm the crap out of their workers

Cloaking ability?

Espearican

1/22/11 8:25 PM

@Protocol: That would be a good army. If you have the time to build that army, though, then your opponent obviously isn't

doing his job right. Vikings would negate Void Rays, Carriers and Colossi, bio ball gets rid of Stalkers/Sentries/Immortals.

Galerunner

12/14/10 3:43 AM

good army...: 8 voids 4 carriers 7 immortals, 2 colossi, 10 stalkers, 4 sentries...

with this I always have the top score in the game

Protocol

12/24/10 2:04 AM

energy radius needs to be bigger

Chase

2/10/11 7:34 PM

@Hakutsuru: Least used when it should be used more often, too many deathballs for people to consider it's potential.

SwiftDeath

1/31/11 1:17 AM

@bubble: Sentries are actually REALLY important...Guardian Shield for reduced enemy range damage and Force Field for

blocking off your ramp, or stopping ground units from reaching Stalkers and Colossi.

TTB

1/30/11 7:06 AM

@bubble: you don't watch pro games do you?

@pacifist: lol its like the Sentry. I don't see anyone use them often.

12/30/10 1:57 AM

@Hakutsuru: you r, but a lot of people overlook there purpose while playing as protoss.

Am I right?

@Starviper: protoss would be too good if they lowered the cost or reduced supply from 2 to 1 for zealots.

pacifist

12/11/10 7:11 AM

@Starviper: they take up 2 supply DERRR

creamwolf

12/9/10 11:56 PM

@Zeratul: Eh, not the strongest but the most tanky. Marines are excelent and well rounded, good for many situations, and

always a good idea to mix a few in the army. Zerglings are so dirt cheep it's incredibly easy to mass them. When you can

get a good amount and with good positioning and timing, zerglings can shred through many ground armies. Zelots are the

most tanky. Now, even though they have a good amount of health, they can be easily kited. The pathing on charge is weird,

you'll often see zelots running circles around the opponents army. In all, zelots need some sort of pathing fix to charge,

they are to easly kited otherwise.

CLockwerk

12/5/10 6:10 PM

@Starviper: zealots are the strongest tier 1 unit-also they take up 2 supply

plus: can kill 4 zerglings, up to 3 marines

StopMoving

12/3/10 7:53 PM

Protoss Rant #6: Warp Prism: While I still stand by what I said two posts ago, I have another thing to add; why do zealots take up 2

cargo slots? Granted, They're tall, but in order to adapt to the atmosphere of SCII, Zealots should only take up one space in a transport.

Starviper

12/11/10 6:42 AM

These BADLY need a + 10 or 20 shield buff. They're so much weaker than shuttles. I'm scared to put anything in them do to their sheer

fragility.

Doncroft

12/13/10 6:41 AM

That may be do to the fact that you can now gate infantry to any psi power zone now, such as those produced by these. Just have four

or more gates in warp mode and selected at once to see the advantage of that.

A good use for these as a shuttle would be for a probe and some immortals for armor support. Unload all, then have the probe warp in a

pylon out of the way (so you have a back up back door) while you warp in Dark Templar and,or other infantry under the prism

Dekronos

12/15/10 5:47 AM

@Espearican: these units don't cloak on their own, but with the cloak aura of a mothership...
