Info about Archons revealed in interview with Chris Sigaty

Lies paragon! The reason the streets are empty is because everyone is inside... playing StarCraft. 8)

The Twilight Archon Builds:
2 High Templar = Concentrated Psionic Storm
2 Dark Templar = Feedback, Mind Control, Maelstrom
1 High Templar & 1 Dark Templar = Concentrated Psionic Storm (colorful), Feedback, Maelstrom.

Yes and in the words of Shrek the Ogre:

That'll do donkey... That'll do.

 

"The Twilight Archon Builds:
2 High Templar = Concentrated Psionic Storm

1 High Templar & 1 Dark Templar = Concentrated Psionic Storm (colorful), Feedback, Maelstrom."

Ok, if this is going to be true then what's the POINT of taking away the dark archon? I reckon Blizzard should just stop trying to change EVERYTHING, don't you guys agree? Similarly, if the twilight archon looks like and functions like the original archon, then why bother lengthening its name?

 

it'll probably have a spell and an archonesque attack.

 

nah, i think they will have new skills and psionic storm will return tho.

 

um high templar have psionic storm, not archons

 

Archons should not have any special abilitys imo.

 

Archons might have that disruption web-like spell (that icey thing on the bunker) in the leaked PC gamer video.

That looks cool. If they did have 3 different archons like that... they have to be distinct in appearance though to tell which one is which. What attack would each archon have though. I rather have the 2 high templars have an attack and the disruption web. I think the high templar should only have the psionic storm though.

yea almost everyone in north korea is practically brainwashed thinking that Kim Jong Il is god and that their country is the most ideal. They don't even have any connections to the outside world at all let alone starcraft. Have you ever seen documentaries about north korea? There's like nothing there and paragon's images proves only a little of it too.

 

What the heck... twilight archons have feet?!! I will forever disown them as archons....

 

damnit. i'm guessing they're not hovering anymore? at least the feel look pwnage.

 

to paraphrase paragon's earlier post from the "The Big Dark Templar Citadel Thingies... Hypothesis" thread,

how are they going to explain the lack of dark archons?

"'Well we used to be able to [archon meld with other dark templar] but we forgot how?'"

 

i said that same thing about dark archons somewhere else nikzad

i then said that twilight archons must be better than archons and dark archons combined to have it make sense

 

oh well

 

I like the idea of combining templars to make 3 different archons.
My thoughts for each archon:
• Archon: heavy assault ground unit with no spells, just an initial attack (like the original)
• Dark Archon: offensive spell caster with no attack.
• Twilight Archon: defensive spell caster with a lesser attack then the regular archon.

However, I also think that this many archons would be unnecessary for StarCraft 2. Twilight Archon could have the same properties as both an archon and a dark archon, but it should have new spells that are even more fun then the dark archon's. And as for an explanation on why you could merge either 2 high templars, 2 dark templars or 1 high templar and 1 dark templar to create the twilight archon (apparently claimed by blizzard) . . . since the two protoss cultures seem to be merging, the high templars could have inherited some dark templar abilities, and vice versa. This could explain why it could just take two high templars instead of 1 of each templar unit to make a twilight archon, which by all rights is a combination of dark and high templar energies. Because of this, the high templar and dark templars could have some new abilities and traits as well.
