The tesseract cannon was an advanced variant of the photon cannon enhanced with xel'naga technology. It could phase itself to other locations, taking its weapon and shield with it. In the alternate timeline where Zeratul survives the opening stages of the End War, the dark prelate deployed them against Amon's Forces to support his army.[1]

Game Structure[]

Tesseract cannons are the static defensive option for Zeratul in Co-op Missions. They cost 300 minerals compared to the 150 of regular photon cannons, but can be upgraded to give themselves a phase shield and temporarily relocate to other areas, taking their shield and weapons with them, but leaving the base structure behind.

Abilities[]

This unit or structure can detect cloaked, burrowed, duplicated and hallucination enemies.
