Effective Use of Protoss Warp Prism – Starcraft 2 Warp Prism in PvP, PvT, PvZ

Protoss have been studying about the nature of time and even space for thousands of years. Through a lot of experiments and research, they have uncovered the secrets in the universe. Part of this, they have uncovered how to create a robotic mind that is programmed and built of a crystal lattice. This crystal-commanding-machine manipulates both matter and energy that no ordinary mind can comprehend.

One of the underused units of Protoss are the Warp Prisms. A lot of protoss players don’t utilize its great capability. You will know how useful Warp Prisms are and how to be able to use it effectively. Warp Prisms require 200 minerals for you to be able to produce one. It has the ability called the Phasing Mode which deploys the Warp Prisms into a Phase Mode and would generate a certain power radius that is similar to a Pylon. When Warp Prisms are in the Phase Mode, they are immobile. They also have the ability to unload and load units. These would transport a number of Protoss units to any location in the map. They can even transport large protoss units like the Colossus. Warp prisms have the following upgrades available for them to enhance their abilities:

Plasma Shield Upgrade – enhances the shields of all protoss units and structures or buildings.
Requires Twilight Council

  • level 1 requires 200 minerals and gas
  • level 2 requires 300 minerals and gas
  • level 3 requires 400 minerals and gas

Air Armor Upgrade – enhances the armors of all protoss air units.
Requires Fleet Beacon

  • level 1 requires 150 minerals and gas
  • level 2 requires 225 minerals and gas
  • level 3 requires 300 minerals

Gravitic Drive (increases the speed of warm prisms)
needs 100 minerals and gas

Warp prisms are very useful in base expansion, bringing all your troops and use the massive energy area to warp in from 10 gates. To use if effectively, you must have a main goal. You can plan in expanding your base and use warp prisms in transporting your units for faster expansion. Remember, expansion of base is also a factor in being able to improve both of your defensive and offensive capabilities. Another strategy that your warp prisms are very useful is when your base is under attack. You can actually use warp prisms to send back up units for reinforcement to your base that is under attack. Through this, it will surprise your enemy, thinking that you are losing your base, but not thinking that you can still fight back. If you have a total of 4 bases, you can actually send 80-90% of your units in all of your other bases at once. This is such a great way in surprising your enemy. Another thing is that once you have expanded your bases, you can use warp prisms as a support to your units and structures. It just needs a fast control in changing them into different phases, depending on what ability or skill would you like to use. Just a reminder, in sending out back up units to your other base, you have to leave enough units on your other expanded base to be able to protect it as well. You will never know when your enemy is sending its troops for it. It is always best to be ready at all times. Warp prism is a great unit of Protoss. You just have to know when and how to use it. For sure, you will be able to gain victory.
