Description[]
The Observer is a cloaked, flying support unit that detects invisible units. Observers start quite slow but can be upgraded with Gravitic Boosters, which brings their movement speed to an average value. Observers can also be upgraded to use Phase Shift, which prevents them from being automatically targeted by enemy units. Phase Shift upgrade also increases the Observers' sight range.
