How does this build deal with an all-in like 2 port banshee or the sky terran focused builds that have been springing up lately? You do get an obs, but with all that gas invested into colossus tech and the easy viking production I feel like you'd be way behind.

Do you happen to have any replays of you doing this build against a terran doing a sky terran style?

Is there a way to do this from a different type of FE? like MC 1gate?

Yay, now I can steal this build instead of having to spend 50 games working out all the kinks

I tried the fast collo warp prism a few times before but not with 15 nexus and I kept losing to timings after the speed prism gets stopped.

timeruuuuu happy new year!
don't do it on eu. all eu terrans do 1 base 2 rax tank pushes off of one base on every map every game...... O_O

Couldn't they simply make a viking or two to deal with this? Warp prism drops are indeed useful, but I really don't see the point of putting a collosus in the warp prism. If you lose it, it will set you pretty far behind.

ideally you should never lose it. if it gets too hot, just sit on your hands for a little bit. even if you just do a few pokes every now and again it pays for itself, no doubt. the only time you risk losing it is when you overextend. speed WP is stupidly fast. you can take a few viking hits but nothing can ever catch you as long as you're careful. then you can always take towers no matter where your army is by simply sitting on it for a sec with your colo then it's off to the races again!

^ I almost regret bumping this thread with the above post, because I don't think a lot of people realize how fast that upgrade makes warp prisms. I think it's seriously underutilized and it's a great way to improve multitasking and army-reinforcements. Even without a colossus, you can use it to warp in a few zealots here and there.

it really helped me with my camera hotkeys because you HAVE to use them in order to do everything else you need to do while harassing so yes I approve of this message

these days i only do it if i see the cc :p
demu did something like that with a reactor first, pull from gas and lift 2 rax from his main to low ground close air on shattered temple... was not fun.

i've been working with some 2 gate before core builds to get to this. much safer but slower ofc. good if you're trying to do it a bit in the dark and then you can always change your mind about going wp speed

holy crap I didn't know colossus/shuttle micro while holding an attack off at home was this hard

just tried this a few times on my alt and got destroyed by the counterattack, but the amount of damage you can deal with a single colossus is pretty awesome

nice yea i was mixing in a few of those when trying to force this build every pvt. addon sniping is something colo drops can't do and getting those immortals makes you a lot safer. also beats the shit out of the few mauraders they might leave at the edge of the base to fend off drops since terrans aren't used to dealing with wp harass :D

thanks!

This looks mad sick and micro heavy; I'm just curious if 1gate fe might be the better idea opening? I understand the "got balls son?" mindset but I feel like 15 Nexus is risky even though I usually hold off 3rax with ease when I nex. first; I've seen players get wrecked after going nex first by hellions >_<

yeah hellions are the big issue with 15 nex imo. you can't negate all losses you just have to minimize them lol. like if you see hellions you're just like ok i'm losing 8 probes here but that's fine i'll just chronoboost a few of them..
it's all bout the sentry spread and scouting. need to put that pylon on the edge of your base to look for the drop or have a stalker outside the nat in some weird place to see if they run by. a sentry here and there to zone them always makes you feel like a baller as well

okay, so an early sentry would deal with most of the hellion play (i knew this subconciously).

It's just that I saw a weird hellionbased-expand opening by a GM on SEA and he just ran past everything the Protoss player had with like 6 hellions and destroyed his economy (as the guy was warping in his first warp in of 3 zealots, no sentries t_t)


Weird expand? Do you mean like reactor hellion expand or even weirder? =O


Duckville, forgot about your vids haha. I saw them back then but forgot Sickness did those colossi drops!


like his standard opening that the GM does, as soon as he drops the cc he does a weird marine hellion push that isnt all in at all

Since i predicted more Immortal + Warpprism in PvP [Like WhiteRa uses them now] , I'll make one more prediction that'll blow your mind:

"Dual Warpprism + Colossi" (2 Warpprism & 2 Colossus) in the future.
It'll be very technical, since one mistake will punish you a lot.
But if you can pull it off, it'll be very powerful.

Or course, You'll need "Warpprism Speed" to make it do-able.


I feel so powerful right now (~9 months later) :D

Love the build. With proper scouting, i don't see any big flaws.
But i wonder how you deal with 2-base sky terran?

Odd note that I think should be somewhere here, if you're getting out of colossus based armies and going into a templar based gateway centric army you should expand away from your Terran buddy just about 100% of the time. It just works better and often lets you get out that one more round of chronobooseted warp ins that you need to hold off the Terran backlash.
A time to live.
