Hence, a Colossus-heavy army needs to be bolstered with appropriate numbers of anti-air support, in order to combat aerial threats. As airborne units - Vikings, Corruptors, and Void Rays may also abuse their agility to flank the Protoss army, effectively negating the powerful positional advantage that Colossi are able to award. Vikings, Corruptors, and Void Rays deal bonus damage to massive and/or armored units, of which the Colossus is both. The Colossus' main weakness is its additional vulnerability to air attacks. Most units will not be able to pursue correctly microed Colossi, without taking high amounts of damage, or dying in the process. This and the cliff walk ability allow the Colossus to kite ground units, using the terrain to one's advantage. It is only outranged by the Terran Siege Tank when in its immobile siege mode.

The Colossus is a heavy support unit, that deals large amounts of damage over an average sized area.
Increases the Colossus' attack range by 2.Ĭompetitive Usage General The Extended Thermal Lance upgrade gives the Colossus an impressive attack range of 9, which allows them to attack while standing behind their support army. However, the Colossus' enormous height also allows anti-air attacks to hit them care must be taken with Colossi to make sure units like Vikings or Corruptors do not pick them off in battle. Colossi also have the ability to traverse cliffs and provide vision of high ground areas. Its dual Thermal Lance weapons target units in an area of effect, making the Colossus a powerful siege unit that can quickly destroy an enemy's ground forces. It is built at the Robotics Facility after a Robotics Bay is constructed.
