Game Unit
thumb|300px|left|The void ray's attack. The prismatic beam is capable of engaging both land and air targets, and is powerful against heavily armored structures and units, such as terran battlecruisers, as there is a longer time required to destroy such targets, and therefore, a longer time for all of the void ray's three primary arms to align onto target and activate successively. When a void ray attacks a target, it continues to follow. The damage continues to increase as it follows the target.

The beam attack is weak against low hit point units such as terran marines, because the short amount of time required to kill a marine does not allow the void ray to take advantage of all three of its projector arms, and there is a notable cooldown between engaging different targets.

If the beam is at full power after killing a target, it can maintain this power for a short time, deploying it against another target.

The attack is very powerful against buildings, even anti-air defenses. Other players should deploy specialized anti-air units such as Phoenixes to deal with them.

Void rays are strong against battlecruisers and carriers, and weak against vikings, Phoenixes, and corruptors.

The void ray's attack increased in power the longer it remained trained on a target, but switching targets automatically reset the attack's power.
