Starcraft Two New Units!

The major changes and new units for the three races in StarCraft two have been revealed at a BlizzCon panel discussing how multiplayer will pan out in first expansion Heart of the Swarm.

Terran:

Warhound

This versatile factory unit is great against mechanical ground targets and can dish out area-of-effect and anti-air attacks.

Battle Hellion

New transformation mode gain durability in exchange for slower movement. Great for fighting mixed forces using light troops combined with area-of-effect attacks.

                               

Shredder

Mobile unit that can deploy and create a whirlwind of death around it. Safety protocols auto-disable the attack, if other friendly units enter the danger zone.

Protoss:

Replicant

Microscopic robots can fuse themselves to copy a targeted non-massive unit, the replication also auto-enables any specific upgrades of the targeted unit (ex: cloaking etc.)

Oracle

This flying support unit can scout and disrupt the enemy economy, it can reveal what structures are training and also temporarily disrupt building production and resource harvesting.

Tempest

Powerful capital ship that dominates the skies with massive area-of-effect attacks against light enemy flyers and a strong beam against ground targets.

Zerg:

Viper

Flying unit with support abilities. It can grant detection to units, create a cloud to hinder ranged attacks and abilities, and quickly pull units to safety(friendly) or their doom(enemy).

Swarm Host

This zerg host can gradually spawn endless waves of attackers while burrowed to overwhelm your enemy.
