Most Potent StarCraft 2 Protoss Build Order


As soon as you first enter a game of Starcraft 2, it is up to you to decide how to build the base, which is also known as your build order. Early in the game it's pretty easy to follow a strict build order to get your Protoss base up and running fast and efficiently. Use these 3 build orders to get out to an early lead against your opponents.

Protoss Build Order #1 - Standard 2 Gateway

This is a pretty standard protoss build order that will give you a good overall economy and help you get out to an early gain in Starcraft 2. After the first Pylon, build your Gateway at 12/19 supply. Get your Gas at 15 and a Pylon at 16 to prevent getting supply blocked. The build your Cybernetics Core when you have enough Gas and put down your second Assimilator.

Your second Gateway should come at around 20/26 supply, then research Warp Gate Technology so you can warp in units at anyplace on the field. At this point you are able to opt to build another Gateway and a Robotics Facility, or 2 more Gateways to push your opponent with. The choice is yours!

#2 - Protoss vs. Zerg Fast Expand Build Order

This protoss build orders work best against Zerg because of their shortage of early ranged units. It may help you get you second Nexus out fairly quickly and kick your economy into overdrive. Begin normal with a Pylon at 9/10 supply and a Gateway at 12/18. You'll want to place both of these buildings in the choke point leading towards the natural development to start forming a wall.

After that build a Forge at 15/18 to complete your wall. Be sure not to wall yourself completely in, unless that is part of your late game plan already. Try to make a Zealot or 2 to fill up the gaps coming into your base. Get another Pylon at 16, then save up for your Nexus. Put your new Nexus down as soon as you can in the natural expansion and transfer your Probes once it's completed.

#3 - Dark Templar Rush Build Order

Being a Protoss player, you have this powerful strategy close at hand. Dark Templar are extremely strong if used correctly and get on the battlefield quick enough. The basic strategy here is to put down your Pylon, Gateway, Assimilator, then another Pylon and a Cybernetics Core. Grab your second Gas after and put down your Twilight Council when you have enough Gas.

With your protoss build order make sure you research Warp Gate Technology, so it's ready when your Dark Templar come out. Build 2 more Gateways and a Dark Shrine (ideally in a hidden location) if you have the chance. Build a Pylon somewhere close to your enemy's base so that you can warp in your Dark Templar as close as possible. If you can get them into his mineral line, it's pretty much lights out.

Now What?

After you follow the build order, it will be up to you to continue on at an efficient pace. I can't stress how important it is to have good macro during and after the build order. With good macro these techniques will work much better and allow you to have a lot more units to pummel your opponent with.
