STARCRAFT II GAME UNITS ZEALOT

UNITS

ZEALOT
For more than a thousand years,
the Protoss of the Templar caste
have defended their people,
dedicating their long lives to the
pursuit of martial perfection.
Zealots are peerless warriors who
have yet to ascend to the
uppermost ranks of the Khala.
Ever eager for advancement, they
train for decades in hand-to-hand combat, tactics, pain
tolerance, and martial discipline. Their formidable
physiques are further enhanced by cybernetic implants and
power suits. Zealots use their substantial psionic abilities to
create blades of pure energy that serve as their primary
melee weapons.

Zealot - Game - StarCraft II

GENERAL STRATEGY

Light infantry unit that can attack ground targets.

STRONG AGAINST
This is the first military unit that Protoss can build; all you need is a
Gateway.

Tough and hard-hitting, but expensive compared to other tier 1 units

such as Marines.
Marauder Zergling Immortal
Powerful combatants, their weakness is the time it takes them to reach
their target. Susceptible to kiting as well.
WEAK AGAINST
Researching Charge will allow your Zealots to instantly close the gap to
their target.
Can be warped into the battlefield quickly by means of a Warp Gate.
Increase their survivability to ranged attacks by having a Sentry with
Hellion Roach Colossus
Guardian Shield.

UPGRADES

CHARGE: Allows Zealots to automatically intercept nearby enemies, and is a passive increase to their movement speed.

COUNTERMEASURES

VS Terran

Reapers are very effective against Zealots due to their speed and damage.
Getting the Nitro Packs upgrade will make them difficult to catch.
Hellions excel against Zealots after you research the Infernal Pre-Igniter
upgrade.

A mix of Marines and Marauders should do the job, but do not fight in the
open.

VS Zerg

Roaches are a great counter to Zealots, especially if you research the

movement speed upgrade.

Spawn an Infestor or two and cast Fungal Growth on the Zealots and use

Zealot - Game - StarCraft II

ranged units such as Hydralisks to pick them off.

VS Protoss

Build a force of Stalkers and kite the enemy Zealots.

Summon a few Sentries and fight the enemy at a spot where you could
easily separate his troops with a well- placed force field.

Construct a few Colossi.

Man if you do a three gate and get a council you can put alot of pressur on toss in early game with charge zealots. but you should

probably do a tech switch to robo after your initial push. Hts dont do that well against protoss

Wesley 2/21/11 5:10 AM

never understood where these dudes mouths were, but they're cool

MASTERCHIEF 2/17/11 12:56 AM

Slawter 2/21/11 2:50 AM

@VergenSoldie: Halo, StarCraft 9well obviously) and Mass Effect are my favorite game series EVER

Urbanhermit 2/14/11 8:30 AM

I love the unit but 200 min 200 gas is a rip for charge, especially in the early game. Since when are zealots strong against marauders?,

once they get concussive shells ( 50 min 50 gas ) they pawn z's like no other unit. Charge should be 100 mins 100 gas similar to the cost

of stim and the cost to make annoying little speedings.

Frezer 2/11/11 3:05 AM

Swarm these 4 win against Terran in early game

HotDog 2/10/11 10:02 PM

It says that Zealots are weak against Roaches. Not true unless a zerg player has good micro. In a stand-still match zealot can beat a

roach in a one-on-one fight

Doncroft 2/10/11 4:13 AM

BLIZZARD, MAJOR ERROR IN STATS. It says the Zealot's primary weapon is HALLUCINATION. Also, the Charge ability also talks about

hallucination.

Ranma 2/9/11 5:41 AM

Why cant the terran and zerg see thers no use beatin these unstoppable,true to their word,gratful,awesome, intellegent beings of wich we

have no idea how they eat,breath, or drink (no offence protoss nerds)

Ranma 2/9/11 5:12 AM

after he looks at you all weirdish and crap he`s like sup foo

SkyVanguard 2/4/11 9:57 PM

I think these are the worst units in the game. :P

Ranma 2/9/11 5:07 AM

@JetfirePrime: nerds

Doncroft 2/10/11 4:10 AM

@SkyVanguard: In the Bronze League, that may very well be true, but Zealots are an essential component of the Protoss

army. They help protect the Stalkers from Marauders, counter Zerglings neat and clean, and do excellent economic damage

when dropped into an enemy mineral line. They do die more easily than most Protoss units, but I don't know what we'd do

without them.

CptZeal 2/4/11 12:53 AM

Coolest unit in the game.

Ranma 2/9/11 5:14 AM

@JetfirePrime: hey you MR.negative go back to the terran page you ghost wannabe

Doncroft 2/10/11 4:11 AM

@JetfirePrime: ...Zealots own Thors.

Rye 2/1/11 9:15 PM

Same portrait animation as Dark Templar lol

Ginta 1/28/11 7:51 PM

I DON'T GET THE RANDOM SCREAMING WHAN THE ZEALOTS DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never understood: why nobody says "En Taro Fenix!" sure he's no tassadar, but at least he nearly won a fight with kerrigan

xeres 1/28/11 6:33 AM

@randomperson: sorry, when was this?

randomperson 1/28/11 8:48 PM

@xeres: aw nevermind

DeathStalker 1/31/11 12:55 AM

@xeres: Brood War, 2nd to last mission, I think.

Ranma 2/9/11 5:09 AM

@DeathStalker: T_T realy.......

Conquerer 1/26/11 1:18 AM

These things are so defenseless to zerg fungal growth that it isn't even funny. Helped me get gold in For the Swarm (challenge)

Kane 1/18/11 2:15 AM

so fenix was a 'peerless warrior who had yet to ascend to the uppermost ranks of the Khala'? huh... i thought he was pretty high up on

the ranks

Doncroft 1/17/11 3:52 AM

A Zealot beats a Roach 1v1. Only totally awesome units beat their direct counter 1v1.

JFD 2/2/11 8:16 PM

@Doncroft: only a noobie would attack zealots with there roaches and not dance

Ferahgo 1/16/11 3:07 AM

best unit ever!!

SLIME 1/15/11 9:59 PM

@SLIME: A very strange man. Wear surgical mask when near him.

Ranma 2/9/11 5:31 AM

@SLIME:I know right all he`s done is @@#!* about protoss

bleep 1/10/11 1:14 AM

i assume zealot psi blades would be something like lightsabers that come from their forearms

Doncroft 1/12/11 7:56 PM

@bleep: Correct. Just watch the old Starcraft cinematic: The Death of Fenix.

DeathStalker 1/2/11 5:12 PM

I Zealot Rush from 6-12 zealots. Normally it isn't to long till I have overwhelmed them with my gateway madness. I always build 2

gates...Always...

Doncroft 1/12/11 7:58 PM

@DeathStalker: The best build for Protoss is 9 Pylon, 11-13 Gate, 14-15 Assimilator, 16 Pylon, Cybernetics Core. That's the

most stable build that can counter pretty much anything. Two gates is for rushing and countering/performing cheese only.
