Immortals are a strong counter to Roaches due to their 50 base damage against armored units and +2 range advantage over Roaches. Like against Stalkers, an un-upgraded Immortal will take 4 shots to kill a Siege Tank, with +1 Weapons, an Immortal needs only 3.

Two Immortals in a Warp Prism may be dropped into a Terran base to destroy SCVs.

The effectiveness of Immortals decreases, with increasing numbers of Ghosts (with EMP), because the hardened shield only reduces damage for shield damage. Immortals are incredibly effective against small numbers of sieged Tanks due to their slow rate of fire, and do quite well against other armored units such as Marauders. However, if Extended Thermal Lances is researched, the player with 9-range Colossi retains a large range advantage over the 6-range Immortals and often can position his Colossi to avoid Immortal fire while still attacking.ДЄgainst Stalkers, an un-upgraded Immortal will take 4 shots to kill a Stalker, however with +1 Weapons, an Immortal needs only 3. Zealot/Immortal vs Zealot/ Colossi battles generally revolve around the Immortal user trying to snipe the opponent's Colossi before they are able to do too much damage. Immortals deal a large amount of damage to Stalkers and Colossi, but are quite ineffective against enemy Zealots.

All other units can fly, cliff-walk, or be warped in, allowing them to be produced from a structure that is behind a full wall-in. Of note is the fact that Immortals are one of only two Protoss units (the other being Probes) that cannot be fielded from a production structure behind a complete wall-in. HerO has used Warp Prisms to help move Immortals in and out of range to devastating effect, including in tournaments - against Life in the IPL Tournament of Champions and against Jaedong at IEM Season VIII - Cologne, one of his Immortals recorded over 40 kills. The choice between the two is determined by a trade-off between the Stalker's anti-air and Blink capabilities and the Immortal's anti-armor superiority, as well as the ability to warp-in Stalkers at remote Pylons. They also have the same DPS on non-armored units. Keep in mind that one Immortal is exactly the same cost in minerals, gas, and supply as two Stalkers. In the early game they are very effective at clearing destructible rocks and are typically used to clear the rocks blocking an expansion. Typically, Protoss players will phase out the number of Immortals in their army as the game progresses in favor of building Colossi, since Colossi are generally more effective in battle and both units build from the Robotics Facility, meaning the Protoss user must choose one over the other. Immortals are often made by Protoss players while teching to Colossus. This means a hallucinated Immortal will take a maximum of 20 shield damage from a high damage attack.Д¬ompetitive Usage General The Sentry's Guardian Shield can stack with the Hardened Shield, limiting a single attack's damage to a maximum of 8 damage against the Immortal's shields, allowing the Immortal's shields to absorb three more attacks before they fail.ДЄ hallucinated Immortal also has the hardened shield ability but the double damage that hallucinated units take applies after the hardened shield effect. The Hardened Shield makes the Immortal very effective at handling heavy weaponry like Siege Tanks, but provides no additional protection from lower damage dealing units such as the Marines, Zerglings, or Zealots.

An Immortal's passive ability that reduces all damage inflicted on the shields that is greater than 10 to 10.
