  • The Protoss race receives several improvements that allows players to counter Zerg and Terran strategies effectively. The Photon Overcharge ability now has a reduced cooldown time and the Graviton Beam now affects air units. The Disruptor unit received a nerf to its Purification Nova ability, now dealing less damage to biological units.
  • The Zerg race received some minor improvements as well. The Hydralisk unit has an increased movement speed and the Infestor unit can now move while burrowed. However, there is also a nerf for the Zerg Swarm Host unit, the duration of its Locust ability has been reduced.
