This bold but flexible opener begins with an early Forge, allowing you to research the +1 Armor upgrade. This upgrade significantly enhances the durability of Protoss units, providing them with a significant advantage in early-mid game trades and engagements vs units like Marines and Marauders.
The Forge also unlocks the Photon Cannon, which can deter enemy harassment and aid in holding key positions if the situation dictates.
