Pylon

Protoss Pylon

Description[]

Pylons provide Psi Psi, allowing a Protoss player to create more units. They also create power fields to allow construction of nearby structures, which will be de-powered if all supporting Pylons are destroyed. Pylons can be Energized by a Nexus to transfer its shields to nearby friendly units.

Units produced by Warp Gates must also be produced on top of power fields, granted either by Pylons or by Warp Prisms in Phasing Mode.
