Protoss Mission Strategies

Mission 2 - Into the Flames
Your mission is to distract the Zerg whilst Fenix gets his forces into position, and then you must destroy the Zerg Cerebrate, through all of this Fenix must survive. Build seven more probes bringing your total to ten, warp in an assimilator and harvest the vespene gas and the crystals. Warp in a Gateway, a Forge and a Cybernetics Core and then warp in five more Zealots and five more Dragoons.

Once you are at a comfortable point with minerals and gas then begin to upgrade at the Forge and the Cybernetics Core. Once you have fully upgraded your troops you will have to link with Fenix, his troops appear in the top right hand corner of the map, to get to him you have to pass through the fringes of the Zerg hive Cluster. Your forces at present will not be enough to achieve this, what you have at present is essentially base defences, to attack the Zerg you will need two groups, one of 12 Zealots and the other of 12 Dragoons. When Fenix appears move straight to his troops and build five scarabs in each Reaver.

On the lower entrance to your base warp in two photon cannons, do the same at the top and split your base force between the top and bottom of your base. Before you can really begin to build your attack force you are going to need to mine more minerals, the nearest are below you base, take your Zealots down and kill the Zerg that appear, now bring down a Drone and warp in a Nexus. Warp in more Zealots to replace the ones at you lower base and start to mine the new minerals. Once you have the Nexus and you are mining the minerals then build three photon cannons for defence and move your Zealots back to the first base. Carry on building until you have your full force and then prepare to attack.

Move your force to meet with Fenix, plough through the Zerg defences, destroy everything in your path, bring down Fenix's troops to meet with yours'. Use the Reavers to take out Zerg buildings, just remember to keep building their scarabs. Back at your base keep building troops to replace any you lose. Once your forces have met bring them down in a straight line from where Fenix was with his troops, down here you will find the Cerebrate. Destroy the defences and mash the Cerebrate, victory will be yours.
