Ghost
Ghost is a starcraft-2 terran unit
The Ghost is a unit returning to StarCraft 2 from the original StarCraft. It is a strong Terran unit and the Terran form of a ground based caster. The Ghost has the ability to snipe - dealing 45 damage to organic units for 25 mana - as well as the EMP ability. The EMP ability takes out your opponents shields and energy in a small radius and so is extremely effective against enemy casters (Infestor/Templar/Raven, etc.) as well as vs. Protoss in general. The Ghost also has the abilities to Cloak and call down a Nuclear launch (if a Nuke is built at the Ghost Academy). This allows the Ghost to be extremely effective for harassment as well as a decent late game scout. For tips on all of these strategies check out the links and videos on the right. The Ghost is a Stealth Sniper and has a unit type of Light - Biological. Check out the Starcraft 2 Ghost article on videos and strategies of the Ghost
