Immortal – Protoss Unit

June 12th, 2009

The dragoons of old have been transformed into the heroic Protoss Immortals, cybernetic ground troopers that are unquestionably fiercer than their predecessors.

The shrine that was historically devoted to the tradition of transforming the crippled Protoss warriors into dragoons was overrun by the Zerg infestation that saw the Protoss home world conquered by the Zerg race. The dragoons that remained after the Brood War have now been transformed into Immortals.

The Protoss Immortal unit is a master at defending its species, using its hardened shield upgrade ability to absorb the most powerful weapon fire from enemy combatants. They offer crucial support to the multitude of Zealots by absorbing the brunt of an attack, offering Zealots a considerable opportunity to close in on the enemy.

The impenetrable shields of the Immortal will only become active when encountering the most aggressive attacks, those that inflict more than 10 damage.

Despite the strong defense of the Immortal, it is vulnerable to rapid attacks that are able to speedily damage its protective shields. It is truly a gloomy occasion when any Immortal is lost in battle because these primordial warriors are a dying breed who will forfeit their lives in defense of their species.
