StarCraft Remastered will give a whole generation of gamers an excuse to dive into one of the all-time great RTS games. If you’re new to the genre or StarCraft you may find yourself on the end of some harsh beatings online. In this StarCraft Remastered Build Orders Guide we’ve detailed a series of instructions for each of the races (Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss) so you can build smartly and efficiently.

About Build Orders

Instructions to build are based on Terran Supply, Protoss Psi and zerg Control. In the lists below you’ll see orders preceded by numbers in x/y format. X is the supply,psi or control used, while y is the total available.

Best Terran Build Orders

Terran vs Zerg Build - Double Barracks

9/10 - Depot (Scout when done)
11/18 - Barracks
13/18 - Barracks
15/18 - Depot
Refinery
Depot

Notes: Build marines from each barracks as long as supply allows. When gas allows upgrade stim and get a scanner. Build Space Construction Vehicles until the supply reaches 21.

The build order below is a slight variation of the Double Barracks build, giving a Terran player an opportunity to attack.

Terran vs Zerg Build - Triple Barracks

9/10 - Depot (Scout when done)
11/18 - Barracks
13/18 - Barracks
15/18 - Depot
Barracks
Refinery
Engineering Bay+Academy
+1 Attack

Terran Marine Rush Build - Terran vs Protoss/Zerg/Terran

6/10 - Hide a depot in your main.
8/10 - Direct 2x SCV to center of map. Avoid the normal path scouting workers.
10/10 - Two barracks in center of map.
10/18 - Build marines from barracks, SCV from Command Center.

Notes: This build is intended to allow the player to rush the enemy before it’s built strong defenses.

Best Zerg Build Orders

Zerg Cerver 4 Pool Rush Build - Zerg Vs Protoss/Terran/Zerg

4/9 (Start) - Spawning Pool
3/9 - Drone (Mine immediately)
4/9 - 3 sets of Zerglings (Rush immediately)
7/9 -> 9/9 - Drones (mining)
9/9 - Overlord
9/17 - Hatchery
8/17 - 3 more sets of lings (defense)
11/17 - Extractor (Set 2-3 Drones on as soon as it completes)
10/17 -> 13/17 -Drones
13/17- Lair and make Zerglings as necessary

Notes: This build order will give you an early rush and potentially let you destroy your foe’s economy or kill them outright. Don’t use unless you know where the enemy is.

Zerg 7 Pool Rush Build - Zerg Vs Zerg/Protoss/Terran

7/9 - Spawning Pool
7/9 - Overlord (scout)
8/9 - Scout with drone
8/17 - 6 Zerglings
11/17 - 2 Zerglings or a Drone

Notes: This strategy will give you an early rush but at the expense of building your economy. If you don’t make the most of this strategy to cause a high level of damage you’ll find yourself struggling later in the game.
