Destroyer (protoss)

"Destruction awaits all traitors."

- A destroyer pilot

The destroyer is a void ray variant available in the single-player campaign of StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void.

Overview
The destroyers are void rays stolen by the Tal'darim that underwent heavy modification. Instead of a prismatic core, their attacks are channeled by unstable bloodshard crystals. This creates an unstable beam that arcs between targets.

Game Unit
The destroyer is the Tal'darim variant of the void ray, and with it serves as an assault ship option, the third being the arbiter. The destroyer's attack hits two targets at once, dealing full damage to its primary target and one damage to its secondary target. This makes the destroy well-suited to fighting large numbers of weaker units. However, it is outclassed by the void ray when confronting armored enemies, due to the void ray's bonus damage over time.
