ProtonCharge SC2 DevGame1
Proton Charge

An area of effect ability[1] which allows a group of probes to gather one more mineral per trip[2] for a short time by enhancing their proton-cutters.[3] Proton Charge only directly enhances their ability to harvest minerals.[1] The duration doesn't stack when used multiple times, but casting it again will renew the duration.[4]

Proton Charge can be cast on the minimap.[5]

Usage
Cost 50[6] Energy
Range Greater than 0[6]
Duration 30 seconds[6] seconds
ve

As of February 2010, the obelisk lost Argus Link and Proton Charge.[7]

    This means that both of them are out in the current build.
