Dark Archon
When two Dark Templar combine their life energies, they can transform into a Dark Archon. Unlike the Archon, this creation will have no physical attack, but will use their massive Psionic energies to combat the enemies of Auir. The names of these three abilities are Mind Control, Feedback and Maelstrom. FEEDBACK is the ability of the Dark Archon to turn the power of its enemies against themselves. MIND CONTROL is the ultimate weapon in the arsenal of the Dark Archon in which it projects a portion of its psychic essence into any material being, absorbing both the knowledge and powers of its target. MAELSTROM is a powerful surge of mental energy that the Dark Archon use to stun a group of attackers for a short period of time. While this maelstrom of psychic force only affects organic units, the area of its effect makes it a powerful weapon to employ.
