SC2 Protoss Collosus Rush Worth It? Shokz Starcraft 2 Guide – Using Collosus Effectively

Let us talk about a new strategy using a new starcraft 2 unit. Different types of strategies would work at a different type of map, player, situation, etc. starcraft 2 has a new unit for Protoss called Colossus and it is considered to be a powerful unit in the protoss race. Physically, it is somewhat alike the alien machine in the movie of the War of the Worlds. The colossus would require 300 minerals and 200 gas before it is accessible. You will also need the Robotics Bay for you to be able to produce Colossus. It is only capable of attacking ground units with an attack rate of 2, at a range of 6 yards and at a fast speed. The best part of Colossus Is that it has the ability to walk up and down the cliff which is called the Cliff Walk.

In the new world of Starcraft 2, the Colossus is the replacement for the Reavers. As mentioned, it has the capability in climbing level 1 ledges to reach higher ground and because of this capability, it gives the smaller ranged attacking units more sight. It has upgrades available to enhance its capabilities and these are;

  • Ground Weapons levels 1-3
  • Ground Armor levels 1-3
  • Plasma Shields levels 1-3
  • Extended Thermal Lance (this increases the breadth of the splash damage)

Each and every unit has its own weakness. No matter how strong it is, there will always be a disadvantage which the enemies can use against it. The colossus is weak against melee units. Its disadvantage is their large size and because of this, Zerglings and zealots get to attack Colossus easily and destroy it especially if micro skills are poor. You must always have anti-air units to be able to secure your Colossus. If you will not secure your Colossus, they will be the main target. Colossus have beam weapons that will be able to kill units in a linear splash as well as catching other units that is still in the production line before it is able to retreat. If you just know how to use these units, you can just sneak it up behind our enemy and use the cliff walk ability and use the Warp Prisms to be transported in any convenient location.

For you to be successful in every battle, you know the strengths of each unit you have and use these strengths to conquer your enemy. You can combine your strategies. You don’t have to stick with one strategy per game. You can use as many strategies as you can. These can also be useful when your first tactic does not work,then at least you still have more strategies in line for you to use. It is all in your hands. Mastery is the key. It will take a lot of experience for master but each game is a step closer to it. So do not rush things. Take one step at a time. Learn new strategies, be knowledgeable on the strengths of your units, be creative and have fun. Always remember, this is just a game and in every game, someone wins and someone loses.
