160General Strategy
- Psionic warrior that can attack air and ground targets.
- Their large shield pool allows them to withstand heavy punishment.
- Excellent against biological units.
- Costly to create, as they require the permanent merging of two High or Dark Templars (or one of each).
- They have extremely high shields, but extremely low hp.
- Only morph into an Archon if your High Templars are out of energy, or there is too much detection around to use Dark Templars.
Countermeasures
VS Terran
- Train Ghosts and fire EMP rounds at them, as each shot will deal heavy damage to their shields.
- Deploy Banshees and use the terrain to prevent them from getting in range.
VS Zerg
- Spawn Infestors to cast Fungal Growth, which will root enemy Archons, or use Neural Parasite to turn them against your opponent’s forces.
- Use a sizeable force of Hydralisks, and don’t forget to focus fire.
- Roaches should be effective against them, but remember to burrow your damaged units to allow them to regenerate.
VS Protoss
- Ranged armored units like Stalkers, Immortals, and Colossi do well against Archons.
- Launch Void Rays or Carriers, and use the terrain to prevent them from getting in range.

Thorasoh'cahp!
We burn!
We need focus!
Annihilate!
Decimate!
Obliterate!
Destroy!"
Ever wonder why these guys just scream?
"Vaporize!
One plus one equals... one!"
People complain about how they only have 10 HP, but that 350 shield is able to fully regenerate. Without Shield Batteries, that's pretty damn important!
