It also has a missile to defend itself from mechanical units. It was removed from multiplayer but can still be used in the single player campaign. Apart from adding new units to Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm Free Download , old units were also modified. The Hellion unit, originally a flame throwing unit with four wheels, is now able to transform into the Hellbat.
It can be repaired by SCVs or healed by Medivacs and Medics because it is considered to be both a biological and mechanical unit. The Hellbat is related to the Viking because it launches the fire in the shape of a fan instead of a straight line. The Reaper units have also been changed. Now the Reaper causes more damage to light units and its grenade was completely removed.
The passive health regeneration ability is new too, it begins a few seconds after the Reaper last received damage. The Protoss were expecting a unit named the Replicant, which was a unit that could transform into any other units clone, even ones played by enemies.

A unique flying unit, Oracle, is fast and casts spells, and it does not have any abilities that require it to consume any energy. The original design was centered on slowing down economy by blocking mineral access for a short period of time, but it was changed for the StarCraft 2 Free Download because that ability was extremely powerful so now it only slows down the action of mining instead of completely stopping it.
There are two other abilities special to the Oracle Revelation and Envision. Revelation allows the Oracle to reveal units of enemies in the surrounding area. Envision lets it spot invisible or buried units. The Tempest is a big and slow flying unit that provides a large amount of aerial splash damage to bring extra damage upon Massive units. It is another slow flying unit and it possesses three abilities; photon overcharge, mass recall, and time warp.
Photon overcharge is similar to the Photon Cannon and it helps targeted Nexuses take a single-target long range energy attack. Time Warp causes ground units belonging to enemies to slow down in their movement and firing rate.
This involves replacing the Photon Overcharge with the mass cloaking field, but the Vortex ability has been removed from Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm Download Free to make space for the new Time Warp ability.
