High Templar

High Templar is a starcraft-2 protoss unit
The High Templar in StarCraft 2, much like in StarCraft, is a very feared and powerful unit. The High Templar has the Psionic Storm and Feedback abilities as well as the ability to morph into Archons. The High Templar Psionic Storm ability is great to be used against stacks of ranged units as it can deal 80 damage in an area of effect.
