Next Protoss Unit: High Templar
Previous Protoss Unit: Phoenix
The reunification of the Aiur Protoss and the Dark Templar has allowed the two groups to combine their divergent technologies, and their collaboration has produced astonishing new developments. The Void Ray is built around the newly developed prismatic core, which serves as a virtually eternal power source. When the Void Ray has locked onto a target and deployed its flux field projectors, it can shoot searing beams of energy that grow exponentially more powerful over time. Even heavily armored structures and warships have been incinerated by the Void Ray, leading some Terrans to believe that it will eventually replace the Carrier as the flagship of the Protoss fleet.

General Strategy
- Armored craft that can attack air and ground targets.
- Highly effective against armored units.
- The damage of its Prismatic Beam increases the longer it attacks a target.
- When the Prismatic Beam is fully charged, you have a few seconds to start attacking a new target before you lose the full charged state. Keep them busy.
- Good for hit-and-run tactics against enemy mineral lines.
- Vulnerable against large numbers of enemy units.
- Void Ray sneak attacks against enemy headquarters can be devastating.
Countermeasures
VS Terran
- Launch Vikings; their long air-to-air range will make it easy to bring Void Rays down.
- Use large groups of Marines with Stimpacks and Medivac support.
- Build Missile Turrets around your Command Center as a temporary deterrent.
VS Zerg
- Spawn Mutalisks; be sure to focus fire.
- Assemble a large number of Hydralisks.
- Build Spore Crawlers around your Hatchery as a temporary deterrent.
VS Protoss
- Engage with Stalkers, research the Blink ability if you can.
- Phoenixes are great against Void Rays, which are too slow to outrun them.
- Build Photon Cannons around your Nexus as a temporary deterrent.

Kind of like Mutas.
the only counter to void rays are MORE void rays. its just so stupid.
only problem is that that would cost a TON of minerals and vespene! like 2-4 expantions!
in sc2 nothing is invincible.
But, there are counters to the units that the enemy gets
i want them to meet my stalkers
and that's only some of the pros and con of Void rays and Stalkers.
thank you for listening!
