Protoss

Protoss can be insanely powerful if used correctly. In games where you have tons of extra resources, the best strategy is mass carriers and some arbiters to go with them. Carriers are large blimps that house smaller interceptors. Carriers themselves deal no damage, but their interceptors do their bidding. Each carrier can have 8 interceptors and if you have 12 carriers, that is 96 interceptors! They swarm like bees and are very hard to counter. Arbiters are unique units because everything around them is cloaked. Arbiters cannot be cloaked by any means. Carriers and arbiters make an excellent combination because anyone that wants to attack the arbiters will be destroyed quickly from the carriers and the carriers are stealthed, along with the interceptors. Arbiters also have this neat trick where they can cast this spell called "Recall" which will teleport any group of units selected to the arbiter. Carriers are quite slow, so entering a well defended base can be hard, but if you use an arbiter to sneak in the back and then recall all the carriers there, serious damage can be done. Protoss also have this unit called the High Templar. High Templars can cast a spell called "Psi Storm" which will deal heavy damage to everything in a small circle. This is effective against any mass of anything because it can often destroy armies, even if they are of powerful units. Say your opponent has a ton of, well, anything standing in a large clump. Just cast psi storm there and watch in amazement how your opponent goes from happy to super pissed because one unit destroyed his army. Another thing that is exclusive to protoss is mind control. Dark Archons (a protoss unit) can cast mind control, which effectively steals any of the enemies' units at a large mana cost. The best thing to steal is the worker of an enemy of a different race. If you have their worker unit, you can build all their buildings and units. In large games it is possible for the protoss to have all three races units available.
