光子炮台

Cannons do not build any units, nor have any research upgrades. Their Plasma Shields, however, can be upgraded at the Forge.
炮塔不生产任何单位，也没有任何研究升级。不过，它们的等离子护盾可以在锻造厂进行升级。

Cannons are similar to the Terran Missile Turret in its detection and anti-air attack abilities, but more versatile in its ability to also target ground units. Cannons can also be compared to a combined Zerg Sunken Colony and Spore Colony in its ability to attack both air and ground units.
炮塔在侦测和对空攻击能力上与人族导弹塔类似，但更为全能，还能攻击地面单位。炮塔也可以与虫族的潜伏巢和孢子巢相比较，因为它们同样具备攻击空中和地面单位的能力。

Because of their relatively inexpensive cost, it is common for the Protoss player to build multiple Cannons at vulnerable positions. These include at the top of a ramp, at chokepoints, and surrounding the Nexus at expansion bases. The range attack feature is of great use in dealing damage to non-ranged units (e.g. Firebats) -- cannons are sometimes placed in spread out positions to defend a larger area while requiring the non-ranged opponent to move from Cannon to Cannon, incurring damage along the way.
由于建造成本相对较低，神族玩家通常会在易受攻击的位置建造多个光子炮台。这些位置包括斜坡顶端、狭窄通道以及扩张基地的枢纽周围。光子炮台的远程攻击特性在对付非远程单位（例如火焰兵）时非常有效——有时会将炮台分散布置，以防御更大的区域，迫使非远程对手在炮台之间移动，从而在行进过程中受到伤害。

In team play, it is a common to place patches of Cannons to secure the middle of the map or at the chokepoints of the opponents as a dividing tactic. This is effective in the early to mid game in keeping opponents trapped inside their bases, rendering them powerless in defending their teammate(s). In team play, it is also common to see the Protoss player constructing Cannons at the chokepoint or base of the player's teammate. This tactic is helpful in defending against a teammate who is, or anticipated to be, the focus of the opponents attack. This provides cloak detection, defensive ability, and obviates the need for the Protoss player to station valuable troops at the distant teammate's base.
在团队作战中，通常会在地图中央或对手的狭窄通道处部署炮塔群，以此作为分割战术。这种战术在游戏的前期到中期非常有效，能够将对手困在基地内，使其无法支援队友。在团队作战中，也常见神族玩家在队友的狭窄通道或基地处建造炮塔。这种战术有助于防御那些正遭受或预计会遭受对手重点攻击的队友。这能提供侦测隐形的能力、防御能力，并且无需神族玩家在队友遥远的基地驻扎宝贵的部队。

Cannons are very useful in most Protoss match-ups in defensive schemes. Additionally, Cannons are sometimes use as part of a Cannon Rush. For example, it is common to see the Protoss player warping Cannons in the mineral line of a Zerg opponent's natural base in the very early game.
光子炮在大多数神族对抗的防守战术中非常有用。此外，光子炮有时也会被用作“光子炮速攻”的一部分。例如，在游戏初期，常见神族玩家在虫族对手的主基地矿线上召唤光子炮。

While Cannons are considered one of the most effective defensive structures in the game, their primary weakness lies in their build time coupled with their Shield and HP amount. The combination makes it so that even a few worker units can prevent a Cannon from being warped in if they catch in time. Even if the opposing forces don't manage to prevent it from being warped in, they can cause a lot of damage to it and easily kill it afterwards without taking too much damage.
虽然炮台被认为是游戏中最有效的防御建筑之一，但它们的主要弱点在于建造时间加上护盾和生命值。这种组合意味着，即使只有几个工人单位，只要及时赶到，就能阻止炮台被传送进来。即使敌方部队未能阻止炮台传送，它们也能对其造成大量伤害，并在之后轻松将其击杀，且自身不会受到太多伤害。

对抗虫族

炮台在诸如流行的“快速扩张”策略等开局顺序中至关重要。在这样的开局中，神族玩家依赖炮台来抵御异虫小狗、刺蛇和潜伏者，同时发展科技树并组建军队。在这些开局顺序中，建立坚固的“模拟城市”防御至关重要，因为神族玩家容易受到异虫小狗的绕后攻击，而这些小狗会专门针对已建造的炮台。炮台在中期抵御飞龙攻击时也非常常见；此类炮台可以辅以大和舰和使用“灵能风暴”的高阶圣堂武士。如果人族对虫族的比赛进入后期并拥有多个扩张基地，通常会在扩张基地的枢纽周围建造大片炮台，但这一战术会被“黑暗之云”所克制。

对抗人类

通常情况下，光子炮的建造会被推迟到中期，因为神族玩家通常倾向于通过观察者进行机动侦测，转而将资源投入到龙骑身上。因此，熔炉和光子炮通常要等到第三或更多个扩展包建立之后才会建造，此时会在狭窄地形或扩张基地的枢纽周围放置数座光子炮，以防御战狼的骚扰。由于攻城坦克的强大火力和射程，神族很少会针对人类建造大量光子炮。

对抗神族

光子炮台的建造通常会被推迟到中期，因为神族玩家通常倾向于通过观察者进行移动式侦测，并选择将资源投入到龙骑身上。光子炮台常被用来防御神族对手的“掉落”战术，特别是针对雷兽、高阶圣堂武士和黑暗圣堂武士。如果玩家对战（PvP）进入多基地的后期，通常会建造大片的光子炮台来包围扩张基地的枢纽。

趣闻

在韩国，光子炮台有时因其形状被称为“花”。因此，大量的光子炮台群被称为“花田”，而频繁使用“花”的玩家则可能被称为“花投”。
