{{Quote|Except it doesn't die. Not fair.|A [[Dominion]] [[marine]] on the issue of the disruptor's purification nova|StarCraft Field Manual}} [[File:Disruptor SC2-LotV Art1.jpg|thumb|A disruptor]] The '''disruptor''' is a [[protoss]] ground mechanized heavy artillery unit that deals high area damage. It was introduced in ''[[Legacy of the Void]]''. ==Overview== [[FIle:Disruptor SC2-LotV Story1.png|thumb|The disruptor]] Disruptors are [[purifier (race)|Purifier]] devices controlled by a high-level<ref name="SC:FManual">Barba, Rick. ''[[StarCraft Field Manual]]'' (hardcover). Insight Editions, November 17, 2015.</ref> [[artificial intelligence]] that is capable of fluent speech.<ref name="LotVBeta">Blizzard Entertainment. ''[[StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void beta]]''. (Activision Blizzard) (in English). March 31, 2015</ref> The disruptor floats above the ground, and looks somewhat benign to [[terran]] eyes, but it remains a deadly weapon of war.<ref name = "SC:FManual"/> Indeed, disruptors are among the most deadly of protoss armaments.<ref name = "Collections"/> Disruptors generate energy spikes to wreak havoc against swaths of ground forces.<ref>2015-09-13, [http://starcraft.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/starcraft-ii-legacy-of-the-void-launches-nov-10-2015 StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void Launches Nov 10, 2015]. ''Blizzplanet'', accessed on 2015-09-15</ref> Originally, by supercharging their power cores, disruptors could become invulnerable, turning its physical form into energy for a short period of time and erupting in a destructive blast.<ref name = "LotVDisrupt"/> In this version, the disruptor was most vulnerable right after detonation.<ref name = "SC:FManual"/> However, this put undue stress on the disruptor's systems and hull. Further improvements were made to the design of the disruptor, allowing its [[solarite reactor]] to hurl directed spheres of unstable energy.<ref name = "LotVDisrupt">[http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/unit/disruptor Legacy of the Void: Disruptor], ''Blizzard Entertainment''. Accessed on 2016-06-06</ref> [[File:Disruptor SC2 Portrait.jpg|thumb|The disruptor AI]] By [[2511]], the [[Daelaam]] had improved upon the disruptor's design, allowing it to deliver an explosion with a blast radius of three kilometers, radiating from the disruptor itself.<ref name = "SC:Evolution">Zahn, Timothy (November 8, 2016). ''[[StarCraft: Evolution]]''. Del Rey Books. ISBN 0425284735.</ref> Other improvements were made to disrupters by the Purifiers, including advanced plating and protocol refinements. The [[Ihan-rii (protoss)|Ihan-rii]] developed a variant of the disruptor that drew energy from the crystal cores of their capital ships, making them lethal to biological targets.<ref name = "Collections"/> ===History=== The disruptor was created under the Purifier Program.<ref name="LotVDisrupt" /> By [[2505]], the [[Terran Dominion]] had obtained surveillance images of the unit in action. In the event of seeing the war machine on the battlefield, [[marine]] companies were advised to quickly disperse, with recommendations to engage in a swift counterattack after the detonation of its purification nova.<ref name="SC:FManual" /> The [[Tal'darim]] often scoffed at the Daelaam's choice of weaponry, but they were quick to seize and repurpose as many disruptors as they could as such destructive power was too great to ignore. After the [[End War]], those disruptors that saw combat in the conflict were refurbished in the artistic style of the [[Golden Age of Expansion]] as a sign of honor.<ref name="Collections">[[Blizzard Entertainment]].

The disruptor is extremely potent versus any force that clumps its units together, as well as against [[worker]] lines.<ref name="BetaPreview">Blizzard Entertainment. 2015-03-18.[http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/18291111/legacy-of-the-void-beta-preview-3-18-2015 Legacy of the Void Beta Preview]. Blizzard Entertainment. Accessed 2015-03-18.</ref> It can be countered with skilled micromanagement. The disruptor's attack inflicts damage on friendly units as well as hostile targets. Higher health units such as [[immortal]]s, [[thor]]s, and [[ultralisk]]s do well against disruptors as do supporting air units and high mobility units such as [[stalker]]s. ====Abilities==== {{SC2PurificationNova}} ====Upgrades==== {{SC2ProtUpgrdGrndArm}} {{SC2ProtUpgrdShield}} ===Co-op Missions=== [[Fenix (Co-op Missions)|Fenix]] can build disruptor in [[Co-op Missions]]. Unlike normal disruptors, these disruptors have an auto-attack, and will automatically use purification nova on a target area. These disruptors can be upgraded to permanently cloak, and explode twice in the same target area. [[Zeratul (Co-op Missions)|Zeratul]] can utilize a variant of the disruptor named the [[xel'naga abrogator]]. Disruptors are also utilized by [[Amon's Forces|Amon's forces]]. =====Upgrades and Abilities===== {{CoopPurificationNova}} {{SC2CloakingModule}} {{SC2PurificationEcho}} {{CoopProtossGroundWeapons|fenix |effect1='''Damage'''<br>''Basic:'' 10<br>''With '''Network Administrator''':'' 5 |effect2='''Damage'''<br>''Basic:'' 11<br>''With '''Network Administrator''':'' 5.5 |effect3='''Damage'''<br>''Basic:'' 12<br>''With '''Network Administrator''':'' 6 }} {{CoopProtossGroundArmor|Fenix |effect1='''Armor:''' 2 |effect2='''Armor:''' 3 |effect3='''Armor:''' 4 }} {{CoopProtossPlasmaShields|fenix |effect1='''Shield armor:''' 1 |effect2='''Shield armor:''' 2 |effect3='''Shield armor:''' 3 }} ===Quotations=== :''See: [[StarCraft II unit quotations#Disruptor|StarCraft II Disruptor Quotations]]'' ===Development=== {{Main|Disruptor/Development}} ==Known Variants== *[[Xel'naga abrogator]] ==Notes== The disruptor appears to use a model similar to the cancelled [[replicant]] unit. ==Images== ;Skins <gallery> 2.
