STARCRAFT II GAME UNITS VOID RAY

Previous Protoss Unit: Phoenix Next Protoss Unit: High Templar

UNITS

VOID RAY
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.

Void Ray - Game - StarCraft II

Movement: Normal Build time: 60

Attributes: Armored - Mechanical Ability:

GENERAL STRATEGY

Armored craft that can attack air and ground targets.

STRONG AGAINST
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
Battlecruiser Corruptor Carrier
start attacking a new target before you lose the full charged state. Keep

them busy.
WEAK AGAINST
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.

Viking Mutalisk Phoenix

UPGRADES

FLUX VANES: Passive increase to the Void Ray’s movement speed and acceleration.

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.

Void Ray - Game - StarCraft II

Assemble a large number of Hydralisks.

Build Spore Colonies 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.

once i used 15 void rays!

nexUseR 3 days, 3 hours ago

I hate those buggers

ThePreator 4 days, 14 hours ago

best protoss air unit!

JetfirePrime 4 days, 13 hours ago

@ThePreator: I agreed or would I IF they don't get overwhelmed by Vikings, stalkers, Hydralisks and Mutalisks of course.

ThePreator 1 day, 14 hours ago

@JetfirePrime: are you always looking on the dark side LOL

Zealous 3 hours, 22 minutes ago

dont forget marines with stimpack and mutas dont work that well against them.

XbiozZrgfoev 5 days, 12 hours ago

blizzard i think im going to quit starcraft an not play again...im in bronze...and voidray is one of the biggest problems any non toss race

has its totally op not even the strats guys in masters league gave me worked... plz nerf the voidray

JetfirePrime 5 days, 10 hours ago

@XbiozZrgfoev: Stalkers can kill any massive capital ships and massive ground units just as fast as Void Rays can and those

stalkers are starting to be seen more often than the Void Ray due to my Vikings and Marines probably scared those Protoss

players into using ground instead but I still see some Void Rays but not to often. I'm still going to use Missile turrets and

Anti air units to make those flying garbage cans known as Void Rays meet Khala's end.

Barry 2 days, 6 hours ago

@XbiozZrgfoev: Actually, voids are painfully slow. A group of marines or vikings of equal cost can take them just about

every time. Also, hydras do well against them. I play toss (Gold league), and I only use them to hold back big stuff like

thors, starships and ultralisks.

XbiozZrgfoev 5 days, 13 hours ago

they need to be nerfed like come on the latest patch made them even more op...Blizzard plz nerf the voidray

Void rays are too awesome. these counter strategies don't work against a swarm of them

STRIKER 2/22/11 11:31 PM

hey i just posted my void ray stragety in protoss discussion if you want to take a look

Ainokea 2/22/11 1:05 AM

"Undercool Iraq!"

Ironspider 2/16/11 6:38 PM

"The Void Ray is built around the newly developed prismatic core, which serves as a virtually eternal power source."

If that is true, then why can't they use the prismatic core in EVERYTHING? I mean, it would be so cool, never having power outages.

JetfirePrime 2/15/11 7:21 AM

About that prismatic beam what does it mean deals 20% more damage to only massive units? Shouldn't it be 20% more damage to

armored targets due to its anti armor unit? IF it does 10 to armored targets then 20% more damage to the massive might mean it does

20 to the thors or even battlecruisers.

icephoenix 2/16/11 5:48 AM

@JetfirePrime: take a math class

icephoenix 2/16/11 6:05 AM

@JetfirePrime: 20% of 10 is 2 so if it was doing 10 damgae versus a battle cruiser/thor etc. it would do 12 damage

JetfirePrime 2/17/11 10:14 PM

@icephoenix: Sorry but its just that I didn't taking Algebra or anything related to math since my high school graduation.

UncleMilk 2/12/11 9:15 PM

I used 20 void rays and 6 carriers, the ultimate air army. I obliterated two bases with that single army.

darkzealot 2/14/11 5:16 AM

@UncleMilk: it must have not been VS Terran the viking is OP against air

@UncleMilk: all What you needed was a mothership ;)

Sirkillsalot 2/12/11 6:45 PM

why do protoss ALWAYS go mass voids i hate it, but still there prity cool.

TheAznEquazn 2/17/11 3:25 AM

@Sirkillsalot: cuz you're in bronze

JetfirePrime 2/11/11 10:49 PM

Wait. How many seconds does it take to make its standard weak attack stronger like from a damage of 6 to more damage without any

protoss weapon upgrades? Does it take like take 5 seconds to increase its damage?

Cavyking 2/15/11 2:38 PM

@JetfirePrime:

i think it starts in 5 then goes up every sec

JetfirePrime 2/21/11 5:59 AM

@Cavyking: Yes and does it increase damage like from 6 to 10 or 6 to 20?

Frezer 2/11/11 3:10 AM

No good against terran

Doncroft 2/10/11 4:24 AM

Void Rays are easily countered. Vikings, Marines, Stalkers, Hydralisks, and Mutalisks all take them down with ease. I'm no pro, but I am

Platinum and I play Protoss. Void Rays haven't been overpowered for 3 patches.

MASTERCHIEF 2/17/11 1:00 AM

@Doncroft: ur rite that hydras, vikings and marines work well, but mutas suck for voids. stalkers r good if u have enough

and use good blink micro

Ironspider 2/9/11 9:02 PM

Counter: Throw 16 million marines and hope they win.

Ranma 2/9/11 5:28 AM

JetfirePrime is such a terran wannabe on mostly every protoss`s unit`s page he`s gone around complaining about how bad they are and

some other nerdy stuff but this unit seems to make him bend over and kiss it`s ***

Hakutsuru 2/9/11 11:43 PM

@Ranma: Just because he sucks at toss he wants all the toss fans to get a face full of his degrading comments

Doncroft 2/10/11 4:20 AM

@Hakutsuru: Don't worry. We'll take him down. Cursed troll, turn him to stone!

UncleMilk 2/12/11 9:16 PM

@Ranma: ADUN PROTOSS!

Ironspider 2/16/11 6:39 PM

@UncleMilk: Its Adun, Torridas. Noob.

KILLER 2/9/11 1:10 AM

Wikipii 2/8/11 11:55 PM

AMAZING SHIP THAT IS ALMOST UNKILLABLE!
