Protoss Opening Builds: Nony's Dual-Stargate Phoenix

Air based, early harass technique that works generally well against Zerg and Protoss, and little less effective against Terran due to Marines.

It focuses on early double Gas, and using 3+ Phoenix to kill as many workers as possible, one uses the Graviton Beam to lift it up, while the others shoot it down.


9/10 - Pylon
11/18 - Chrono Boost Nexus (2 Probes)
12/18 - Gateway
12/18 - Chrono Boost Nexus (2 Probes)
13/18 - Assimilator
14/18 - Chrono Boost Nexus (2 Probes)
16/18 - Pylon
16/18 - Zealot
17/18 - Assimilator
19/26 - Cybernetic Core
21/26 - Zealot
22/26 - Chrono Boost Nexus (2 Probes)
24/26 - Pylon
24/26 - Stargate
25/26 - Stargate
27/34 - Pylon
29/34 - Chrono Boost Stargate (1 Phoenix)
30/34 - Chrono Boost Stargate (1 Phoenix)

If you can, place the Stargates in a hidden position for a better surprise effect.

You will want to pump out more 2-4 Phoenixes and build more Gateways (about 2-4 and turn them to warpgates) to cover ground forces.

Although you can now wreck your opponent's economy, just the Phoenixes won't give you the win.

Watch it in a 2-Part video (not the best but should give you an overview):
