A strategy that anybody can use which works very effectively would be called the Stalker Strategy. The strategy consists of pumping out stalkers as fast as you can and either warping in the opponents base or using Blink so that you are able to leap past his defenses. This strategy is very effective for people who decide they wish to go air. When Protoss goes air, the stalker is something that will easily destroy them. You do not want to use Stalkers against Zealots and Immortals. A build order that I use for a stalker strategy would be like this. I would first build 8 Probes, and then a Pylon would be next. I would take that Pylon and scout with it, while continue to build more probes. I will observe the opponents base while pumping out Probes, and I would set up Chrono Boost to speed up production of Probes, and at 12 supply, I would construct a Gateway. As soon as the Gateway is ready, I will build an Assimilator to mine Vespene Gas, put 3 Probes on it, and construct a Cybernetics core and a Pylon. At 16 Probes, I would construct 2 more Gateways next to the first one.

Ideally I want to construct it where their scouts would be unable to see it. When the Cybernetics core is finished, I would Chrono Boost a Stalker, and continue by researching Warp Gate technology. I will then construct Stalkers non-stop, building more Probes and Pylons as necessary. If you have more units than the enemy, proceed by building a Templar Council, and research Blink so that you are able to get past his defenses. It should not be long in the game, and you should have a minimum of 18 Stalkers depending on your speed. You should go to his map and make use of Blink to attack. If you notice that his units are greater than yours, you must expand and destroy his expansions. You must expand immediately, build a Nexus and Assimilator. You need to build 3 more Gateways, and upgrade them to Warp Gates. Make sure to research Blink, and you will continually attack using Blink to get past his defenses. You will never really have enough Stalkers, and you will be able to continuously expand, building a Nexus, mining for Gas, and building more Stalkers. The more you attack, the more the opponent is left to defend, as you keep expanding, and attacking, stopping him from expanding, by increasing your armed force, he will slowly lose his territory, run out of minerals leaving you to win the game. Tip: If the opponent is making a large ground army, you can supplement the Stalkers with Zealots and Immortals. You will learn to do more as you get more advanced.

In Starcraft 2, Protoss has the widest range of units available to them, leaving a vast amount of strategies which you are able to use. It is important to know what all of the units are good for if you wish to become a master at the game. These are three very popular, effective and well-known methods to help you get started playing Starcraft with the Protoss race.

Zealot Rush

The Zealot Rush is a highly effective strategy against Zerg opponents. It must be used early in the game, as Zealot’s are strong against Zerglings. You must be fast for this rush to work, and must get them before your opponent uses Roaches and Hydralisks. Your main goal in this is to destroy his mineral flow, if you are able to stop his mineral flow you will put him at a big disadvantage early on in the game, and it will not be easy to catch up. On a player of a low level, you may be able to finish them. Some key things to note with this rush are to avoid his Queen until you have at least 3 or 4 Zealots. You must also watch him to see if he is putting down any Spine Crawlers, and if he has a Baneling Nest as well. It is important to micro-manage this, as if you do not properly micro-manage, you will just waste your Zealots, however if you micro-manage properly, you can win the game. Do not Zealot rush against Terrans, marines are quite strong and cost effective, they are very good at taking out Zealots.

Warp Prism Colossus Harass

You can use the Warp Prism Colossus to harass your opponents, and hurt their economy with low risk to you. All you have to do is tech up so that you are able to get the Warp Prisms, and the Colossi. You get a Warp Prism and a Colossus, using the Warp Prism, you send the Colossus to the back of his base. Your goal for this strategy is to warp the Colossus back and forth, using it to attack his resources. Whenever he comes to defend, and attack your Colossus, you warp it back, so that you do not lose your Colossus. You do not wish for it to take any damage, and it is quite annoying towards him, will frustrate him and slowly deplete his minerals.

Dark Templar Rush

Dark Templar’s are very useful before the opponent starts getting observers. Once the opponent is able to see the stealth units, they lose much of their effectiveness. This strategy makes a bit of risk as if the opponent is properly defended, you will put yourself at a disadvantage, so you must be prepared. To use this strategy, you load up on gas, and get your Shrine before they can scout it. As soon as you have Dark Templars, you must send them to the enemy’s base and attack immediately. The first thing you always want to do is head for their minerals and destroy as many scv’s, drones, probe’s as you possibly can. If you are able to kill them all, attack other important things like Supply Depots. When you are detected you wish to leave the base to preserve your Dark Templars for a later possible attack.
