MACRO AND MICRO

In StarCraft II, players juggle big-picture economy and micro-level unit control, pushing them to the very limits of their strategic and tactical capabilities.


THREE UNIQUE RACES
WHICH SIDE WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Each of StarCraft II’s three races has its own fascinating personality and playstyle, with a varied and distinct suite of specialized units and buildings. Choose one to master, or play all three!

● TERRAN

Resourceful humans with varied technology and plenty of attitude.

Relative newcomers to the Koprulu sector, the terrans are the descendants of a disastrous colonization expedition launched from Earth centuries ago. With neither the advanced technology of the protoss nor the natural prowess of the zerg, terran military forces rely on a varied mix of resilient, versatile units to outwit their foes.

Unique Features:

• Buildings that lift off
• Transforming units like the Viking and Hellion
• Many viable strategies, including infantry and mechanical styles

KEY UNITS

▪ MARINE - Light infantry that can attack both air and ground targets. Fragile but fearsome in large numbers.

▪ SIEGE TANK - Armored unit that can transform into a stationary mode for tremendous area-of-effect damage.

▪ BATTLECRUISER - Giant capital ship with devastating ground and air attacks.

● ZERG

A ferocious swarm of merciless beasts that devour worlds.

Led by the cunning Queen of Blades, the alien zerg are set to unleash their horrors on the galaxy, consuming all who stand in their way. The zerg make no use of technology to create their weapons, armor, or starships. Instead, these functions are efficiently fulfilled through biological adaptation and planned mutation.

Unique Features:

• Units that burrow beneath the surface
• Swarms of fast-moving units like Zerglings and Mutalisks
• Creep spread that covers zerg bases in a nourishing biological substance

KEY UNITS

▪ ZERGLING - Swift melee attackers that spawn in pairs. Adept at ambushing small groups of enemy units.

▪ MUTALISK - Versatile air units that attack both ground and air. Better at skirmishes and harassment than head-on engagements.

▪ ULTRALISK - Titanic ground unit with blades that deal area-of-effect damage. Durable but slow.

● PROTOSS

Ancient, noble warriors with a golden armada and advanced psionic technology.

For thousands of years, the ancient and mysterious protoss have held sway over their part of the galaxy. Individual protoss warriors are unsurpassed in their skills and courage, greatly enhanced by the combination of technology and formidable psionic strength.

Unique Features:

• Units with shields that recharge over time
• Powerful individual units like the Colossus and Carrier
• Warp Gate technology to build units

KEY UNITS

▪ ZEALOT - Basic melee attacker that forms the core of every Protoss ground army. Can be upgraded to quickly close distance on evasive targets.

▪ HIGH TEMPLAR - Advanced spellcaster that wreaks havoc on clumped enemies with Psionic Storm.

▪ CARRIER - The pinnacle of Protoss technology: a capital ship carrying short-range Interceptors that attack both air and ground.
