How to use the Phoenix to lift Harass your opponents army into submission. The Phoenix is a new unit to StarCraft 2 that has devastating potential vs. small land armies.

Difficulty Rank:

4/5


When to Use:		Featured Units:
When your opponent has little or no anti-air units.

[What to do]
Bring in multiple phoenix and have 1-2 lift units off while the others shoot down the lifted units.


[Tips for Pulling This Off]
- Bring your Phoenix in and quickly lift as many anti-air units as you can (leaving some Phoenix to shoot them down).- Focus on Drones and mineral lines for brief periods to harass.- Utilize the Phoenix's speed to draw opponents out of position and save your Phoenix from taking damage.


Good vs. These Races / Strategies:		Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:
This is great when your opponent has little or no anti-air units. This is particularly strong early vs. Zerg where they may only have a few Queens and a few Hydralisks.		This is not so great vs. Terran as they can typically produce lots of Marines which counter the Phoenix as they run out of energy. Worthless vs. any static defense structures.

What to do in Success:		What to do in Failure:
- Continue to harass. Build more Phoenix and head for the worker line.- If you also have a ground army you can bring them in if you've severely weakened your opponents' ground army.		Get your Phoenix out as they are easily overpowered if your opponent has mass anti-air ground units.
