This means Raynor can quickly build up a massive army with great damage output, and then keep reinforcing them in greater numbers than they fall, to overwhelm the enemy through sheer firepower. Raynor's talents lend him to a Zerg Rush strategy, as he has three particular themes - building units fast, boosting their attack speed, and using drop pods to reploy them to their rally point instantly. However he also has an impressive arsenal in the Factory and Starport. Jim Raynor specializes in Barracks units, building armies of Marines supported by Medics, Firebats, and Marauders. The kicker? Each Prestige sub-class starts over at level 1 meaning that the player now has up to 54 new commanders to level up. These sub-classes offer different strengths-and-weaknesses that could even bring about an entirely different play-style compared to how that commander is normally played. Each commander is given three new Prestige sub-classes that the player can switch between after reaching level 15 normally. The ten year anniversary update brought about a major expansion to Co-op Mode with the introduction of Prestige Talents. From Abathur onwards, players would have to pay to access new commanders.

Raynor, Kerrigan and Artanis are playable commanders for players that did not purchase Legacy of the Void, the other ones being exclusive to it. Levels gained through experience unlock more passive and researchable upgrades for the commanders to utilize until maxing out at level 15. Besides random mission selection, players can play at higher difficulties for greater experience gain. Each race is represented by six commanders for a total of 18, and experience for each commander is tracked separately.
