Heal Cast by: Medic The Medic can heal any damaged biological ground unit. (allies included) She will automatically move to heal any damaged units within her range, unless you instruct otherwise. A Medic can only heal one unit at a time, adding more medics will not increase heal time. Medics can heal Stimpack damage. They cannot heal units inside Bunkers or Dropships, you must remove them first. Biological units Medics can heal include the Terran Marine, Firebat, Medic, Ghost, Protoss Zealot, Dark Templar, High Templar and all Zerg ground units (not buildings).

Optic Flare Cast by: Medic The only defensive means of the Medic is the A-13 Flash Grenade Launcher. Originally designed to provide light on the battlefield, the Optic Flare has the nasty side effect of rendering units blind. Optic Flare affects both air and ground units, permanently reducing the sight of the targeted unit to 1 matrix and removing the units detection abilities (unless restored by a Medic). A "Blinded" tag will show in the affected units information box when selected. Blinded units can still attack at their normal range if they have another unit to spot for them.

Feedback Cast by: Dark Archon Feedback causes the targeted unit to lose all of its current energy points, and will inflict hit point damage equal to the amount of energy points lost. Example: If he has 50 points of energy when you cast Feedback on him, he'll lose the 50 energy points plus take 50 hit points of damage. Feedback does not affect Protoss shields, they take the damage directly off the hit points. Units that can be affected by Feedback are the Terran Medic, Ghost, Wraith, Science Vessel, Battlecruiser, Protoss High Templar, other Dark Archons, Arbiter, Corsair, Zerg Queen and Defiler.

Mind Control Cast by: Dark Archon Mind Control can be cast on any unit in the game and the targeted unit will immediately switch sides and change to your color. The MC'd unit retains it's researched technologies/abilities but not the weapon, armor and shield upgrades. Mind Control is a permanent effect, only another Dark Archon casting MC on it can transfer ownership again. Casting Mind Control costs 150 energy plus drains all of the Dark Archons shields, leaving him in a vulnerable state. MC cannot be cast on Interceptors, Scarabs, Spider Mines, Larva or units inside a Stasis Field. Hear the Mind Control Sound.

Disruption Web Cast by: Corsair Disruption Web settles on the ground and disables the attacks of all ground units and structures caught in the webs area. Keep in mind, mobile units can simply move out of the field and fire so this will be most effective on stationary targets such as Bunkers, Missile Turrets and Photon Cannons. It has no affect on Air Units. Disruption Web affects friendly units as well as enemy, so stay out of the affected area and used ranged attacks to attack units inside the affected area.
