Stalker SC2 render2

The protoss stalker

The following is a complete unit list for StarCraft II multiplayer game units to date. StarCraft II was announced on May 19, 2007. The unit list has undergone numerous changes since then.

StarCraft II was released as a trilogy. With each installment, more units were released in a manner similar to the additional units added in StarCraft: Brood War. The first StarCraft II product, Wings of Liberty, was released on July 27, 2010.

All three races are available in the multiplayer skirmish mode in each of the three StarCraft II products.

Structures

Icon Structure Details
Armory SC2 Icon1 Armory Upgrades mechanical units.
Barracks SC2 Icon1 Barracks Produces terran infantry units.
Bunker SC2 Icon1 Bunker Provides protection for terran infantry.
CommandCenter SC2 Icon1 Command Center Produces SCVs and serves as a drop off point for processing of minerals and gas. Has the ability to carry up to five SCVs and can upgrade to the powerfully armed planetary fortress or the ability oriented orbital command.
OrbitalCommand SC2 Icon1 Orbital Command This upgrade to the command center provides scanner sweeps to reveal troop movements through the fog of war and detect cloaked or burrowed units, summons MULEs, and can increase the supply generated by supply depots.
PlanetaryFortress SC2 Icon1 Planetary Fortress This immobile upgrade of the command center grants it weapons to attack enemy ground units and a large boost to armor.
EngineeringBay SC2 Icon1 Engineering Bay Upgrades infantry and buildings.
Factory SC2 Icon1 Factory Produces terran vehicle units.
FusionCore SC2 Icon1 Fusion Core Formerly known as the anti-matter core[13] and the deep space relay, this structure allows production of battlecruisers and provides researches for them.
GhostAcademy SC2 Icon1 Ghost Academy This structure enables ghosts to be produced and provides researches for them. In addition, it stores nuclear missiles for launch.
MissileTurret SC2 Icon1 Missile turret Anti-air turret that fires two missiles at a time.

SupplyDepot SC2 Icon1 Supply Depot Provides supply required for additional terran units and can submerge, enabling troops to walk over it. It is smaller than in StarCraft I and can be made into an important part of terran base defenses, preventing enemy units from walking past them. This ability is called Lower/Raise.

Add-Ons

In StarCraft II, terran add-ons, the reactor and the tech lab, work differently. Instead of being specific to an associated structure, each add-on can be added to any barracks, factory or starport, granting a specific benefit. One structure may only have one add-on attached to it, so it cannot benefit from the reactor's bonus and the tech lab's bonus simultaneously.

Icon Unit Details
Reactor SC2 Icon1 Reactor Doubles the number of units produced from the building to which it is attached. (For instance, adding one to a barracks will enable it to create two marines at the same time.)
TechLab SC2 Icon1 Tech Lab Enables the production of "higher tech" units. For instance, adding a tech lab to a barracks will allow it to produce marauders, while adding one to a factory will enable it to build siege tanks. Upgrades marine combat shields and specific upgrades and special abilities for the hellion, siege tank, viking, banshee, medivac dropship, and raven.

Campaign and Co-op Missions Units

StarCraft II has a number of campaign-specific units. Many can be controlled by the player.

Main article: Terran campaign units
Main article: Zerg campaign units
Main article: Protoss campaign units

Scrapped and Unused Units

Main article: Unused units

Some units that were cut in development will appear in the map editor and campaign. However, units that were completely cut did not appear in either.[14]

Notes

Most protoss units of StarCraft II have the standard gold color scheme but there are also a few units that have a darker blue color scheme that denotes an affiliation with the Nerazim. The inclusion of Dark Templar units represents the cooperation that the protoss have been forced to accept after the loss of Aiur.

  3. Warp Rays, also known as Void Rays now, are especially good against high hit point units, as well as buildings.

    Often, the strategy that sees the most Void Ray use is against Zerg, using these units to do surprise attacks or joint attacks. Many Protoss players who scout Zerg players going mass ground units, will fast tech to Void Rays in hopes to catch them without anti-air capabilities. Void Rays are also great to do an attack on their base while you have a diversionary force distracting them in another place. 2-3 Warp Rays could take out a Hatchery much faster than say that equivalent in resources of Mutalisks.

  4. Warp-In is a researched ability that allows Gateways to almost instantly build units anywhere within Pylon power, including mobile Pylon power provided by the Warp Prisms (previously known as the Phase Prism). When units are built from the Gateway through this process, a cooldown will follow after the unit is built, before another can be warped in. When Gateways are converted into Warp Gates, players are no longer able to queue units, but will instead receive an set amount of time discounted from the production time to build that unit. That set amount will be subject to balance. Karune. 2008-10-06. #1: What do you think about Warp-In?. Battle.net StarCraft II Gameplay Discussion Forum. Accessed 2008-10-08.
  5. The Obelisk is the new name for the Dark Pylon, and the Dark Shrine is the new name for the Dark Obelisk. The Obelisk still has the probe buff, but now also acts as a shield generator, and still has Argus link to transfer energy as well. The cloak ability has been removed from the Obelisk. The Dark Shrine remains the same in function, allowing the production of Dark Templars. Karune. 2009-06-11. OBELISK question. Battle.net StarCraft II General Discussion Forum. Accessed 2009-06-11.

  8. The Jackal, now known as the Hellion, only has the flamethrower weapon. In previous versions, there was a railgun hover vehicle, but that will no longer be in multiplayer.

    The Hellion is currently one of the best units for "micro" since it is faster than all other units in its tier, and also does splash damage in the form of a line with the flamethrower.

EX: A marine moves out of the flame and takes 10 damage total, but a marine that was in the flame for the entire duration of the flame, would it take more damage?"

  14. Q. Will units that have been cut from the game still be in the Galaxy Editor, or higher tier units from original StarCraft?

    A. Units that have been cut from the game completely will NOT be in the editor. However, there are many units that make an appearance in the single-player campaign that WILL be available to use in the editor, such as the Medic, Firebat, and Goliath.
