Game Unit

Each Zealot costs 100 minerals and takes up 2 points of psi, making it the most expensive basic unit in the game. Zealots are summoned through Gateways. Minerals are one of the two resources gathered in the computer game, StarCraft, the other being Vespene gas. ...


Zealots are melee attackers, which means they have to get to point-blank range to enemy units or buildings, similar to Zerglings or Terran Firebats, to attack. Zealots wield a pair of psionic blades, which do more damage (16 and 22 after a triple weapon upgrade) than Terran Marines and Zerglings. Zealots (in versions 1.08 and greater) have 100 hit points, 60 shield points and 1 point of armor. When attacked from the air without proper air support or Dragoons/Archons, Zealots should retreat to shield batteries and/or anti-air defenses such as Photon Cannons, since they cannot attack flying units.

fanatique de précipitations de

à moins qu'un commandant de Terran prenne des précautions spéciales ([ [ Terran (StarCraft)#Strategy et technologies|"mur-dans" ] ], des constructions une soute), il est tout à fait possible de déborder une base de Terrain tôt dans le jeu. Tout qu'il prend est la surveillance tôt (qui est toujours bonne) et envoyant des fanatiques vers la base ennemie dès qu'ils arriveront. Les fanatiques devraient continuer à affluer, maintenant la pression. Cette tactique peut également faire des merveilles contre un Protoss ou Zerg qui a investi dans l'avancement vers le haut de l'arbre de technologie. Même si l'ennemi a plus d'unités défendre la base qu'il y a attaquer de fanatiques, des précipitations réussies peuvent encore être accomplies: en tuant rapidement les ouvriers ennemis, il est possible de perturber sérieusement leur économie, gagnant un avantage à la longue.


Zealots and Zerglings

When facing the Zerg Swarm, it is important to remember that although Zealots beat Zerglings in a 1 to 3 ratio (and a single weapon upgrade at the Forge allows a Zealot to kill an unupgraded Zergling in just two strikes), Zerglings are much cheaper. Thus, unless the Protoss Executor manages to minimize the amount of Zerglings attacking each Zealot (by hiding them behind minerals, microing well, etc.), Zerglings will win the encounter. Zealots are still a very good choice against Zerg opponents, since simply building and commanding mass hordes of Zerglings is complicated. Zealots are also hardy enough to act as a shield for other Protoss units, such as Archons and High Templar, while also causing respectable damage by themselves. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ... The term micromanagement (in this context, often abbreviated to simply micro) is used in strategy computer games to describe a facet of gameplay. ... A High Templar is a powerful Protoss psychic in the fictional StarCraft universe. ...


"Speed Zealots"

A Zealot with the Leg Enchancements speed upgrade (available at the Citadel of Adun) is a powerful weapon against Tank Pushes, since it can quickly run up to Siege Tanks in Siege Mode, draw splash damage from other tanks and provoke Spider Mines to explode near Terran forces, often causing massive damage. Zealots with the speed upgrade are also much less vulnerable to Hydralisks. The Marines of the Terran Confederacy The Terrans are the name given to the human colonists in the StarCraft universe used to distinguish them from the humans of Earth. ...


Zealot Bombs

Another way to use Zealots against Siege Tanks (in Siege Mode) effectively, is to load multiple Zealots into Shuttles and unload them one by one in the middle of tight Tank formations. This tactic, called "Zealot Bombing", can produce even greater results than simply ordering Zealots to attack enemy Tanks.


Damage Calculation

Psi-blades each do 8 points of damage without upgrades (resulting in a total of 16 points), so a unit with 1 point of armor will in fact receive only 7 points of damage from each blade, resulting in the disappointing total of 14 (-2 points of damage for every point of armor, instead of the usual -1). This weakness is most apparent when facing fully upgraded Ultralisks, which have 6 points of armor. When facing Ultralisks, it is advised to support Zealot forces with heavy hitters, such as Archons or Dragoons. The Ultralisk is a high-level ground unit in the 1998 Blizzard Entertainment RTS (real-time strategy) game StarCraft. ... The Protoss Dragoon is a mechanized assault and support unit in the game Starcraft. ...


Counters

Zealots are melee-attack units and enemy ranged-attack units such as Marines, Vultures, Siege Tanks, Dragoons, Reavers, Hydralisks and Lurkers can often do incredible damage to Zealots. Moreover, any air units with a ground attack can defeat Zealots. The problem is, if the "ground attack" isn't strong enough, Zealots can just soak up damage while ripping the enemy base apart. Scouts and Wraiths are rarely used to counter a Zealot army, since their ground attack is very weak, while the stronger and plentiful Mutalisks do very well. Finally, although Terran Firebats seem weaker than Zealots, they are an excellent counter: gathering Firebats in groups (so that the splash damage from their attacks intersects), or supporting them with Medics is enough to guarantee that Firebats prevail over almost any adequate number of Zealots.
