This is an all-rounder economic build for ladder. It is a standard macro build using standard Reactor Hellions and three Command Centres. The build also lines up two timing attacks.

Those who seek “good ladder builds” also sometimes explicitly ask for “safe” builds. I believe what they really want is an all-rounder build that doesn’t die to certain stuff because of build choice. The builds we selected focus on standard macro and have access to the tools needed to be safe.
You can read the rationale and variation of this build on TerranCraft. The replay is prepared by Drift, and you can watch his video here.

Can someone please explain the reason for building the Reactor on the Factory and the Tech Lab on the Starport as opposed to the other way around as written in the build order on Terrancraft.com? It requires an additional lift of the Factory and swap on to the Starport Tech Lab for no apparent reason.

Interesting that it is tvx on spawningtools. It’s strictly a tvz build and would be pretty weak as an opener in the other two mus. Thanks for the compliments!
