Unlike other Protoss, the Dark Templar refused to surrender their individuality to the collective psionic bond of the Khala. They were exiled from Aiur and eventually resettled on the distant planet of Shakuras. By focusing on their inner psionic strength and drawing power from the Void, the Dark Templar have become highly skilled in masking their presence. Combining this technique with the Protoss Dragoon walker model, the Dark Templar created Stalkers: machines controlled by the shadow essences of Dark Templar warriors. Stalkers are armed with Particle Disruptors and, with proper augmentation, can instantly teleport between locations. As a result, Stalkers can strike unexpectedly, catch fleeing enemies, or escape from unfavorable encounters.

DATA MATRIX

When enabled, the displacer grants Stalkers the ability to fade and materialize instantly at a different location, affording them an unprecedented degree of mobility—perfect for quick strikes against the enemy. Each “Blink” generates a flux that taxes the Stalker’s systems; it must go through a brief recharge period before initiating another displacement.

Nerazim warriors can choose to undergo a ritual which fuses their shadow essence to nimble machines known as Stalkers, granting them a preternatural degree of control over their new bodies. Unlike their Khalai counterparts—Dragoons and Immortals—the Stalker does not contain the severely injured body of a Protoss warrior. Instead, their armored plates and mechanical systems are home to the powerful presence of Dark Templar who sacrificed their former lives to protect their brethren from the shadows.

These weapons draw upon the power of the Dark Templar’s training and technology to fire lethal blasts of entropic Void energy. Each shot destabilizes matter at a fundamental level, and ultimately tears it apart by disintegrating its atomic composition. The Particle Disrupters are especially effective against materials with high hardness indexes—like chitinous carapaces or heavy armor plating.

Countermeasures

Terran VS

Train Marauders and focus-fire the Stalkers. Their concussive shells, once researched, will slow them down and prevent their escape.
Build some tanks and research Siege Tech. Be sure to support them with infantry.
Deploy a few Thors to complement your army.

Zerg VS

Build a large force of Zerglings, research Metabolic Boost and use them to surround the Stalkers.
Spawn Roaches and research Tunneling Claws.
Use Hydralisks and don’t forget the Grooved Spines upgrade. Be sure to focus-fire the Stalkers.

Protoss VS

Use Immortals to deal with the Stalkers.
Build Stalkers of your own, research more upgrades than your enemy, and focus-fire.
Attack with Zealots and try to surround them. Be sure to support your forces with a few Sentries, both for Guardian Shield and to cut off escape routes with Force Fields.
