THREE UNIQUE RACESWHICH SIDE WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Each of StarCraft II’s three races has its own fascinating personality and playstyle, with a varied and distinct suite of specialized units and buildings. Choose one to master, or play all three!TERRANZERGPROTOSS

Resourceful humans with varied technology and plenty of attitude.

Relative newcomers to the Koprulu sector, the terrans are the descendants of a disastrous colonization expedition launched from Earth centuries ago. With neither the advanced technology of the protoss nor the natural prowess of the zerg, terran military forces rely on a varied mix of resilient, versatile units to outwit their foes.

Unique Features:

• Buildings that lift off
• Transforming units like the Viking and Hellion
• Many viable strategies, including infantry and mechanical styles

KEY UNITS

MARINE

Light infantry that can attack both air and ground targets. Fragile but fearsome in large numbers.

SIEGE TANK

Armored unit that can transform into a stationary mode for tremendous area-of-effect damage.

BATTLECRUISER

Giant capital ship with devastating ground and air attacks.
