Starcraft 2 Protoss vs Terran Strategy - Fast Dark Templar Followup

As you know, Protoss has access to the dreaded Dark Templar

. These permanently cloaked units do a ton of damage and can devastate a Terran army if they aren't prepared for it. It will take a few minutes to get up the tech tree and access Dark Templar, so you'll need to stall any early Terran attacks that come at you. A great way to do this is get some Sentries to Force Field your ramp and split the army to help you fight it.

You're also going to need a lot of Vespene Gas so get your second Assimilator early. Terran players will be actively trying to scout your base and figure out what you're doing, so you should hide your Dark Shrine off in a corner somewhere they aren't likely to scan. Another option is to send a Probe to some obscure location out of your base on the map to make it very unlikely to be spotted. You want this to be a surprise attack so don't let him know what you're up to.

Be sure to research Warp Gate technology while you're teching up and place a proxy Pylon somewhere on the map near your opponent's base so you can warp in your Dark Templar and get them attacking as fast as possible. When attacking split your Dark Templar up so one scan from the Orbital Command won't reveal them all. If the Terran player walled off, send one Dark Templar up at a time so he has to waste his scans.

If he has no detection, this type of strategy can result in a quick win. But if Terran does have detection this strategy can easily transition into a mid-to-late game strategy that is very effective.

Most Terran players will go pretty heavy infantry against Protoss players. If your Dark Templar don't win you the game outright, you can transition easily into High Templars and Zealots with Charge. You already have all the structures required, you just need to build a Templar Archives and research Charge at the Twilight Council.

Don't forget about your Dark Templar in the late game either. If Terran doesn't have Ravens traveling with his army, you can send your Dark Templar in with your Zealots and do some massive damage before he even knows there's DT's in there. One quick scan will likely kill them quite fast, but in most cases they will do plenty of damage to make it worth it.

Dark Templar are also great units to harass expansions with and take out areas that have no detection built in. Since you already have the tech for them you should use them when you can.
