Strong early game (1-10): Proton (pre-nerf), Mudman, Spirit, Artillery Construct (Laser Batter), Dragon Aspect Step 2: Identify Units That Fit Those Goals Sometimes you might want to start with a core set of units instead of a particular goal (zergling/resonator/preserver for the awesome synergy, or warlord/artisan because you want to play Sylphy but not until wave 12). Step 1: Decide on goals for your custom builderĭo you want your custom builder to be generally strong across all parts of the game (see the Ancient builder)? Do you want it to max economy as fast as possible? Do you want it to hold as many waves of Terratrons as possible? Or maybe you just hate the wave 30 boss and want to make a builder that thoroughly embarrasses it. Here's my 4 steps to playing a custom builder: I think it's a lot of fun to come up with custom builders it keeps the game fresh even after you've learned all the builders.
