Heroes:
Zeratul: Zeratul's fighting style has been changed entirely. He is a revered Dark Templar mystic with a powerful melee attack which provides energy in combat. He can use 'Void Walk' and 'Void Spheres'.
- Phase Cloak (passive): Cloaks Zeratul as long as he has energy.
- Void Walk: Allows Zeratul to intercept nearby enemies and provides 50 energy.
- Void Spheres: Zeratul creates 2 clones of himself. Clones deal half damage, take double damage, and last 20 seconds.
Karass: Karass is a legendary wielder of psionic energies. He can use 'Psionic Storm' and 'Plasma Surge'. Also he is able to attack air and ground units.
- Psionic Storm: Creates a storm of psionic energy that lasts 4 seconds, causing up to 100 damage to all units in the target area.
- Plasma Surge: Instantly recharges 50 shield points and restores 100 shield points over 10 seconds for all friendly Protoss units in the target area.
Each Player will control one of those two Heroes.
Enemy
The Enemy will be the Zerg Swarm, divided into 3 Forces with different characteristics. Also, some special Zerg Units will appear to make it even harder to reach the Xel'Naga Shrines.
