The Protoss Colossus is one of the best Protoss units. So what is the Protoss Colossus? The Colossus is a new Protoss unit which is very powerful and effective against light ground units. It has a very large range and deals splash damage, hits multiple targets at once, allowing it to pick off groups of ground units from afar. The same as the Protoss Immortal, the Colossus can only hit enemies on the ground. Since it deals splash damage, it is most effective once there are several Colossi.

The Protoss Colossus is extremely powerful against massed units, since its attacks deal damage in a line, sweeping across firing lines to do damage to several enemy units at once. This makes it devastating against tier 1 and tier 1.5 units like Marauders, Stalkers, Marines, Hydralisks, and Roaches, and it is also deadly to Zerglings, Zealots and other close range units if you have your own wall of units to provide support and keep enemies at bay. If your opponent is massing ground, the Colossus is never a bad choice, unless teching to it will put you behind.

It is deadly against the popular Terran Marines and Marauders build, as well as the common Roach and Hydralisk heavy build that Zerg often favor. Researching Extended Thermal Lances makes the Colossus even more powerful, allowing it to outrange most units and deal heavy damage from afar, increasing its effectiveness greatly – if you have the resources, strongly consider getting this upgrade.

• Deploy Your Siege Tanks – They have superior range and big damage is exactly what you need against the Colossus. In Siege Mode, tanks severely outgun a Colossus.
• The Viking – Tired of seeing this unit at the top? Vikings not only deal a spanking 28 damage vs Colossus, but they also can’t be hit back from them. They don’t have to go through the swarm of zealots, stalkers and company that you generally find in front of a Colossus.
• Use the Marauders – With +10 damage versus armored, bringing the damage per attack to 20. Just make sure to spread your Marauders well so that they do not all get caught by the Colossus’ beams at the same time.
• Fly Your Banshee – Though not as good as Vikings, but they also do pretty much decent damage (24) against the Colossus, and they can’t be hit back by them as well.

Those are a few techniques that you can employ. There are more tips and more regularly updated strategies…
