Learn to macro like a pro! : Beginner Protoss Build Order Guide (2024)

Hey guys! Back again with a beginner build order for protoss in sc2 in 2023. This is a basic build order that can be done in all matchups. I recommend it for plat and below, but you could use it up to diamond as well. It focuses you on macro mechanics and winning with a simple macro style!

Follow me:

[YokeRoel]

14 Pylon
16 Gateway
17 Gas
20 Nexus & Core
21 Gas
22 Pylon

Adapt
Stalker
~26 Robo & Shield Battery
Stalker
Sentry
Twilight Council, Forge
~4min: double gases, workers saturated
Observer
Immortal
~4:20-4:30 Charge & +1
7 Gates
~4:35-4:55 +7 Gateways
~5:00 Templar Archive

Warp in units, build 2 Pylon each round
~6:15: attack

Awesome video! :)

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. A simple, all-rounder protoss build order. Nothing crazy.

After doing this build order for so long this has really help me I went from silver 2 all the way to diamond working on getting to masters

Came back to sc2 a couple of weeks ago and I was extremely rusty. I'm now following this build order and my win rate stonks. Thanks a lot!

So. Perhaps I just got VERY lucky. Or people on the ladder are bad. But i haven’t played in years, looked up this guide to see the current meta. Did this in every game. Placed into platinum 1, and just got diamond…From basic macro. It’s actually really hard to overstate how much fundamental principles are overlooked.

Back to play this game after 7 Years, very good build order guide. Thank you :)

Just a small tip (because I kept getting this wrong), you'll see around 06:00 that he moves his High Templar out of his wall before merging them into Archons. If you do it inside your wall then they will get stuck! If they get stuck, you can use your Warp Prism to pick and drop them but its annoying and uses up some APM.

I learned this build last night and went 5-2 this morning thanks for the help!

Just started playing this build and I already beat a Very Hard Terran AI with this macro style build which I struggled to beat macro style for months. Thank you!

[ArtInTheWild]

This was nice as for someone like myself who is starting to game back up and get into SC again. Love and miss this game but so many good people. Glad to be back and playing again. Thanks for the tips!

[mauricegoz]

love it when he says "i dont want you distracted from the build by scouting" :) makes Goz smile

I haven't played starcraft in years and when I came back couple of days ago, I lost like 10 games in a row xD I've tried this build of yours and now I'm at 7 wins in a row, this actually is really simple and covers all the mehanics you need to know and its a good strat aswell! Thank you for this awesome vid, keep it up! :D

[GrippeeTV]

One thing I think you should DEFINITELY include in this guide is how to properly wall off. It’s such an understatement how valuable a PROPER wall that doesn’t box out your immortals is lol. My life changed when I nailed it down, and I beat a lot of protoss as Zerg that don’t wall off properly 😂

[NecronIsGood]

Even 2 years later this build is still so strong at its roots I’ve gotten to masters very easily (with a few slight changes) after not playing for years

[Wingedtravesty]

First time playing in years and I was struggling in my matches. Followed this build order and won, no problem. Excellent

[havokgames]

This is awesome. I've watched all of Vibe's b2gm so this is a really nice contrast. I'm really enjoying rolling out around 6 minutes and sometimes just finishing the game instead of always waiting until ~10 minutes to max and move out. Thanks!

[vL.Cold]

Excellent TY ive been using this and dominating with just clean build and hard push completely committed thanks bro

[morgansaturn]

Thanks to your build I finally made it to platinum. I'm so happy, thank you !

[JOSH-YT]

I've been playing for about 1 year and managed to get Zerg to Plat 3 following ViBE's B2GM but I've always preferred Protoss and wanted to switch. This tutorial has really helped me out! I like the way it flows. I've lost a few times but definitely winning more than I lose around 2700 MMR in EU. Hoping to try and get to Diamond. Thanks a lot for the great content!

Great build! It helped me significantly improve and i went from Bronze to Gold in just one day. My macro has improved alot and i feel like i can start trying other builds for fun.
