StarCraft II - Protoss Overview

An overview of the Protoss narrated by Jim Raynor.

Xeno biology facts:
Protoss skin is pretty much an all purpose organ. They breath through the skin, hear through the skin and absorb what little water they need through the skin. The Protoss absorb light through their skin for sustenance in a manner similar to plants but are able to absorb energies over a much wider range of the electromagnetic spectrum and can survive without light for a long period of time. They also defecate through the skin by releasing tiny amounts of molecules through pores.
Other then the eyes Protoss bodies have no other orifices. They communicate not through sound but through telepathy and are able to translate their language telepathically when communicating with other races,


It was never stated how Protoss reproduce when having no orifices but since there are female and male protoss then that means reproduction is done with partner and not asexual. A common theory is that protoss actually are dependent on technology to reproduce, artificially splicing the DNA of a female and male to make an offspring in an artificial womb in a laboratory pod.

Ariel Hanson: "You know more about the protoss than any of experts i have read about jim"

[vladtheimpaler]

Protoss have the strongest and most durable units in the game, but the drawback is that their units are expensive and can't be produced at a rate as fast as the zerg or terran.

[Tanglingdead]

I am positive there were scenes in this video where the protoss units were invincible or had an unusually high amount of health.

[DarkTemplarsVoid]

Blizzard please bring back the Protoss Dark Archon.

[EEDevotee]

i WISH that Warcraft 4 was made, and we would get theese trailers for Alliance, Horde, Scourge and demon races :D, would love that

[matthorner]

damn it why always Jim Raynor gets credit for everything and gets to also narrate this video, iam doing all the work.

[Cowboyking]

My friend played Mass Effect and was looking into Starcraft and asked me to explain the Protoss to him. I just said take the Turians and Asari, put them together and you have the Protoss. For the Zerg i said Rachni but more vicious and warlike, and the Terrans were the same but most were at least half Krogan.

[matthewgaviola]

Ah Immortals, since the practice of making dragoons was lost with Aiur there will be as many Immortals until none are left.

"They spent thousands of years, developing advanced technology"
Well. I spent millions of years, developing my Computer :((

[allypezz]

This game is incredibly complicated. i actually think you have to start young to get good at this game. mad respect to those who can compete online because it's a fast fast game

[mls]

Each race should have been narrated by each of it's characters (zerg = Karragen terran = Jim Protoss = Zeratul)

[ThePoliodude]

High templars being able to storm instantly from warp in. Before a patch there was a research that meant high templars would spawn with the required energy for a storm, now its been removed, so you have to wait say 20-25 seconds.

2:42 "Get out before anyone knows they were there" wish that was the case on ladder...

im excited for a protoss cinematic trailer .. that mothership would be so huge

Zergling rush (assuming a very early rush): wall off your ramp completely with either a second gateway or a forge. Build zealots/cannons and push out once you have a decent army.

Reapers: Build a stalker ASAP. The end. Should be part of your normal build order against terran.

Mutas: Place two or three cannons behind/around your mineral line and patrol stalkers around the area. Get blink ASAP, unless you have air tech in which case get phoenixes. Otherwise you can choose to all-in him.

[MostazalsLord]

Yeah, it's amusing, speaking about it as the unit it is inside the game, but as an entity in the lore of sc, it is still damn powerful. And I concur with you, hopefully it will get buffed in Legacy Of The Void.

[PatrioticSam]

I must admit, the Protoss missions in Wings of Liberty were more fun than I expected. Zeratul is a pretty cool guy, and its nice to change race once in a while.

That said, I'm not sure about playing a whole expansion pack campaign with them. But I was wrong before, maybe I'll be wrong again.

[SighingDm]

After being nerfed to death yeah. I hate blizzard for always nerfing op stuff that should be op.

[passionkev]

the blizzard did excellent job in all the race overviews. I've just watched all of them and i think it really awesome ~!! can't wait to play daiblo 3
