Description

This is a build that I have come into very recently but I already think it is stronger than blink disruptor and HT openers. This build is a standard blink stalker obs opener that transitions into colossus then into storm. You can fend off drops easy, widow mine drops, liberators, this build is very good. * The ideal late game composition is collosus HT archon chargelot with some blink stalkers* and I know what you are thinking, this is going to get crushed by heavy liberators. But in my experience so far with archons and storms you can crush libs, as well as the chargelots and colossus push back the army so the liberators become exposed. I think this build is SUPER strong and a PERFECT option if you don't like the disruptor that much or want something a little sturdier!

Analysis

I would highly recommened giving this build a look. I think in the 10 games I have gone for it (and I was just doing this build off the cusp, doing it out of feel) I am 9-1. This build is my FAVORITE PvT build right now and has brought a lot of joy back to PvT for me, It's a fun composition that does make you want to cry when they do mass doom drops against you. Give this a chance before you right if off!

Most important things about this build: Blink stalker obs opener, into colossus, into HTS later (during 3 base saturation you should work for this) the chargelots are HUGE part of this (note if there are a lot of widow mines adepts should be substituted for zealots), do NOT go blink stalker colossus, the chargelots do insane amounts of damage and are crucial to survival in some parts, I would try to get it relatively fast after blink finishes!

Hey dudes , been using SALT recently but having a problem with the units that I create. How do I know that how much units I should train in a single unit icon? When I train them a lot , the icon still does not show as its completed , ?
