    The only thing is that archons aren’t squishy, they have a huge shield and basically no hp. So their entire gimmick is they regenerate health. Zealot, the “tanking” unit in the toss army has 100/50 hp/shields, and it’s cheap. For archon it’s 10/350, but expensive. They can also be further reinforced with the shield battery, which will regenerate their shields like crazy. For comparison, the huge flying ships that got owned in the “toilet” were battlecruisers - 550/0 hp/shields.

    What makes them squishy against terran is the introduction of the ghost - which has a spell that does a shitload of shield damage, after which the archon is one fart away from death.

    Edit: also the thing that cast the black hole - the mothership - is 250/250 hp/shields.
