    So, I have been experimenting with banshee rush with cloak, I haven't found a perfect build yet, can you guys please suggest a video/thread?

    Since I am bronze-silver they really rarely have detection up so early, unless they're terran and sometimes they get the Orbital command. So yea, can I see your suggested build order?

    P.s sorry if this is the wrong forum.

    Thanks :D

    As a protoss player, I hate banshees.

    And Ill probably regret telling you this but.

    If you rushing for banshees don't forget to make marines off 2 rax, that way you can run in with A move stim while they are dealing with the banshees.

    Or send both at same time.

    Will usually win if you hit at around 9-11 minutes, at least in gold and below.

    Unless they are cannon hores.

    If you want to be even more evil.

    Do 2 Banshees + cloak, 1 raven(Using PDD at correct time) and Stim/shield marines.

    Thats why worse than MMM or just banshees by themselves.

    Then use it vs P or Z.

    Don't banshee rush in mirror match ups.

    The 1/1/1 Build is best for a Banshee Rush. Remember to at least place a Bunker with a couple of Marines in it at the front. Don't be afraid to use a bit of gas to get a Reactor on the Barracks and a Tech Lab on the Factory while waiting to get Cloaked Banshees.
