Hey all, thought it was about time to post some new strategies on here since Heart of the Swarm has been out for a bit over a month already.

Today on my stream, sponsored by http://www.Ttesports.com (awesome sponsor, and maker of some of the most badass gaming peripherals ever), I ripped a build from Axiom’s CranK, a really great Protoss player. The build order follows:

9 Pylon in main

16 Nexus

17 Forge

17 Pylon

17 Probe

19 Gateway (3:28)

19 Cannon, Scout

20 Gas

21 Gas

(chrono Nexuses nonstop until mentioned otherwise)

27 Cybernetics Core

29 +1 attack

29 Zealot

33 Pylon

37 Pylon, Sentry, Warpgate

40 Gas x 2 at expansion

Chrono +1 attack on Forge

43 Mothership Core (Chrono it), Pylon

46 Twilight

Sentry

49 Pylon

53 Gateway x 3

55 Sentry

57 +2 Attack, Pylon, Blink

59 Robo, Pylon

Warpgate Finishes (8:11)

61 Gateway x 2

Warp-in 2 Sentries, 2 Zealots

Move immediately to 3rd base and make Nexus there (8:45)

Make observer then Immortal and +3 attack, as well as at least 1 defensive cannon at your new 3rd base.

Side note: Make sure you are scouting with hallucinated phoenixes semi regularly to spot incoming attacks and the tech of your opponent.

I’ve just started using this build, so I don’t have a guide on the follow-up branches, just this base to work with.

If you want to see me work on it, I stream almost daily at http://www.twitch.tv/artosis

Thanks for reading! :D
