StarCraft 2 Protoss Strategy Basics
Many first time StarCraft 2 players choose the Protoss when they first start playing. However, if you have any hope of competing against diamond level players you must first learn basic Protoss Strategy. In which case, it helps to know a little background information about the Protoss.
The Protoss, like the Zerg were engineered by an ancient race called the Xel’Naga. The Protoss are a very technologically advanced species with vast psionic abilities. They use a wide array of hi-tech mechanical ground forces and ships. Their attacks mostly consist of devastating psionic and plasma based weapons. Unlike other species in the game, the Protoss structures are not built, but instead they’re “warped” into existence through the use of probes. Because of the advanced nature of their units and structures it often takes longer for them to be built. Because of this chrono boost will become your best friend, If you’re creating an effective, but basic protoss strategy. Chrono boost can increase the production or research speed at the target building by 50% for a total of 20 seconds.
The protoss, if used properly, can be a very powerful species. A couple basic protoss strategy concepts are outlined below:
1. Utilize Choke Points. This is basic starcraft 2 strategy, not just basic protoss strategy. This is a basic defensive technique that should be in the arsenal of every StarCraft 2 player when defending a base. A choke point is essentially an area within the terrain that narrows to the point that it confines the movement of units. From a defensive standpoint it makes defending your position much easier. It can also buy you some much needed time in certain circumstances.
2. Use Chrono Boost. As mentioned above chrono boost can increase the production or research speed at the target building by 50% for 20 seconds. The protoss aren’t the fastest species when comes to building structures and units. For this very reason it’s recommended that you utilize chrono boost as much as possible.
3. Scout. Scouting is essential for basic protoss strategy. You should scout your opponent as soon as possible. Knowing in advance the type of build your opponent is utilizing can give you the edge in nearly any situation. At the same time you also want to keep your enemy from scouting you if possible.
4. Dark Templars – Use Them. Dark Templars are extremely powerful. Dark Templars are permanently cloaked which means they can move undetected amongst your opponent. If your opponent is a beginner he’ll most likely have no idea what’s going on before its too late. Even an experienced player if caught off guard can suffer great casualties at the hands of the Dark Templars.
The items above are just a few tactics you should use to create a sound, basic protoss strategy. If you want to learn advanced starcraft strategies, click this link.
