DARK TEMPLARThe Dark Templar are

powerful psionic warriors

whose ancestors resettled on

the planet Shakuras after they

were exiled from the Protoss

homeworld of Aiur for refusing

to join the emerging Khala, the

communal mind link shared by

the entire race. In place of the

Khala’s bright energies, the Dark Templar learned to

manipulate the darker powers of the Void, which gave

the Dark Templar the ability to become invisible at will.

Armed with their potent Warp Blades, the Dark

Templar are deadly and relentless foes capable of

devastating conventional forces. Now that Aiur has

fallen and its refugees have fled to Shakuras, the Dark

Templar have joined their considerable strength to the

Protoss’ numbers.

Movement: Fast

Cargo Size:2

Attributes: Light - Biological - Psionic

Supply: 2

Build time: 55 Ability:  

SCV Drone Probe

Raven Overseer Observer

STRONG AGAINST

WEAK AGAINST

Light melee infiltrator that can attack ground targets.

Always invisible thanks to permanent cloaking.

Great for destroying buildings and raiding bases that do not have any

means of detection.

Excellent for taking out targets with a small health pool.

Fragile; keep them out of enemy fire whenever possible.

They also possess the ability to merge with another templar (either High

or Dark) to form a powerful psionic warrior known as an Archon.

Can be warped into the Battlefield by means of a Warp Gate.

VS Terran

Build Missile Turrets in key spots around your base. Assign an Orbital

Command to a Hotkey so you can quickly use its Scanner Sweep ability.

Ranged units are the most effective – use a mix of Marines, Reapers, and

Marauders to bring them down efficiently.

You can also use the Ghost’s EMP round on the area where the shimmering

figures are. The blast will render them visible for a few seconds, during

which you can dispatch them with Sniper rounds.

VS Zerg

Morph some Overlords into Overseers to provide mobile detection. Keep

one on your base at all times, or build a few Spore Colonies.

Use Banelings and target the Dark Templars. Use the self-destruct ability

near shimmers.

Use an Overseer to Fungal Growth shimmers, which will temporarily drop

cloaked units out of stealth so you can finish them off.

Spawn Mutalisks to deal with them safely.

VS Protoss

Build Observers and place a few Photon Cannons around key spots in your

base.

Deploy Immortals to soak up their damage through Hardened Shields and

have Stalkers to focus-fire them. Ranged units work best against Dark 

Templars.

The BEST unit that protoss has you can totally whomp an entire zerg army with a few of them if they forgot an overseer. In one of my

recent games the guy went mass hydra and he woulda whomped me if he moved in but i got 2 dts in his base and killed him when he

finally did send the hydras in i had enough dts to make a wall so he couldn't get past and just lost all his hydras. lol that was hilarious

Can't believe these units are the only Protoss Raynor can control in the campaign as in add the Dark Templar to his anti-Taldarim fleet

and they can't attack air!

En Taro Tassadar friend Raynor. The Taldarim has imprisoned all those who oppose them. Released us and we will gladly fight at your

side against them. Our thanks friend Raynor. The Taldarim will pay for their treachery. We will join the hunt for the Taldarim. My blades

thirst for vengeance! Truely you bring freedom to all friend Raynor. DARKNESS DESCENDS! The void claims its own! I AM THE

DARKNESS! I strike from the shadows!

@JetfirePrime: if the Dark Templar are completly upgraded in ground armor and weapons and shielding. as for the air units

will if you do not have any air attacking units then run away.

ThePreator

@ThePreator: I agreed so as long they don't get detected and do not get in range of the enemies ranged weapons including

simple Marines and air units otherwise they will meet Khala's end if they fail.

JetfirePrime

masternoob

5 hours, 32 minutes ago

@JaceBeleren: Lets just hope nobody makes mistakes like destroy the detectors before send DTs after ranged units like to

many marines and thors especially due to if they get detected then DTs meet Khalas end so fast before they say I cannot

maintain.

Phear

2/17/11 5:11 AM

@Areg: Just don't send them after a Thor or large numbers of range attackers(Units that do not use melee attacks) until

those Detectors(Observers, Overseers, Ravens etc.) are blown up.

@masternoob: wow do u not know what ravens,observers,and overseers do?:)

flyboy

2/7/11 3:40 PM

@masternoob: Agreed, DTs must be removed from the game. Or receive a minor damage nerf at the least.

CombatWombat

1/30/11 8:12 PM

@masternoob: lol, only because they can't be attacked WITHOUT those units.

@Ironspider: Its random but you should be able to pick and they should give the scythes more damage but slower and the

swords faster but less damage anyone agree?

NinjaNick

@Ironspider: random

Ranma

2/8/11 6:48 PM

Are the unit types (Dual sword and sycth) random or do you choose in some way?

Ironspider

2/9/11 3:17 AM

@CombatWombat: yes they are annoying if u have no scanners/detectors but can be very useful to sabotosh ur enemy

while u build up an army

MASTERCHIEF

@CombatWombat: Once someone starts building detectors they suck, but other than that they're pretty awesome

Phear

@MASTERCHIEF: :/ They actually aren't. I hate them.

MASTERCHIEF

1/27/11 4:53 AM

A lot of people complain whenever this unit is used against them. Well it's not my fault they didn't have detectors.

Holy crap, I just realized DT's and Zealots have the same portrait animation.
