I really like the colossus in Starcraft 2 because it reminds me of War of the Worlds. All we’re missing is Tom Cruise running around screaming while you destroy your enemy’s base.
I played a game yesterday and it sort of changed my mind about the colossus. I never paid too much attention to the unit until now.
I haven’t fully tested out the unit in a lot of games yet, but it does work really well against mineral lines and zerg. If you grab a drop ship and swing in the back of your enemy’s base, you’ll get a fair amount of workers before they catch on.
I noticed yesterday that it is especially effective against zerg players. These two guys tried to scare me and my teamates by threatening an infestor rush. They really underestimated us though.
What they didn’t expect were 4-6 colossus climbing over the side of their base with range upgrades. I wiped him and his friend right off the map before they could counter.
I have to give some credit to Shokz guide because I learned some really cool micro strategies with this unit there.
Shokz has a great way of terrorizing Terran players too.
