Used by Protoss forces to open warp-fields for buildings, probes like 2553B are often used to secure enemy territory for the Golden Armada.
Combat Trait
1
Cheesy
The probe throws out a piece of cheese that slows a nearby enemies (catapult-like impact) by 10% for 3 seconds. Prioritizes heroes.
Primary Abilities
1
2-Gate
Summon a gateway. Gateways produce 1 zealot every 20 seconds to attack nearby enemies for X damage. No more than 2 gateways may be on the field at a time.
2
Cannon Rush
Summon two photon cannons that attack nearby targets for X damage.
3
Proxy Stargate
Summon a Stargate. Stargates produce 1 Oracle every 30 seconds that deals X damage. Oracles do 50% damage to heroic targets.
Secondary Abilities
1
Resource Gather
Talent Granted: Basic attacks on structures restore x health and y mana.
Heroic Abilities
1
DT Warp-in
Warp in 10 cloaked Dark Templar. DTs have high damage but low health, and can be seen by towers and forts.
Level 20 upgrade: Dark Archons: DT Warp-in now includes 2 Dark Archons with 2 abilities. Maelstrom stuns enemy minions and slows heroes. Mind Control steals an enemy minion, but drains 1/8 of the Dark Archon's Shields.
2
Chronoboost
Structures summoned by basic abilities now fire/produce units twice as fast. 2553B's trait now throws two pieces of cheese at separate targets.
Level 20 upgrade: Powerboost: Photon Cannons, Zealots, and Oracles now do 200% damage. The slow on 2553B's trait is increased to 20%
Special Mount
1
Warp Prism
Summons a Warp Prism with timed life. Prisms can fly over terrain but are not as fast as a mount. If the Warp Prism is destroyed while carrying the Probe 2553B, he dies.
Because everyone needs a bit of cheese.
I tried to capture as much of the wonderfulness that is cannonrushes, 2 gates, and oracles in this concept. All numbers are subject to change as all cooldowns on abilities.
