A friend of mine believes that it’s best to go Temple first in almost all situations. He gathers minerals with his leader and upgrades Warehouses ASAP.
What do you guys think about going Temple first vs making Warehouse(s) before Temple?
Is there a significant economic advantage to going Warehouse(s) first, even though you can’t upgrade Warehouses or gather minerals as efficiently? Are you too weak without your leader on the field as early as possibly? Do you think it’s map/character specific?
brute can pretty much always pull off temple first ,thats not to say its always best, prophet needs to go first or 2nd,arbi should never go first unless cheesing/exile in front trying to block an expo or with another arbi in front…
in general: defensive play does not want or need temple first,or second, or even third, offense needs temple first or 2nd,but really it is about the map, the game type, and your play style
Depends on the map/leader combo you’re playing against.
Temple first in 2s works 90% of the time. Not so much in 1s or 3s.
And this is assuming you go on offense with brutes to their covy/weaker unsc
Temple second will give you a better eco. Temple first will hurt your eco, but you can harass earlier. It’s up to you.
brute: Temple first or second.
arby: Temple second or third in 3v3. first, second, third in 1v1/2v2.
prophet: Temple second or third. never go first as prophet.

Just listen to this, there is no set in stone time for your temple.

Except that’s not advice you can listen to, everyone basically understands that.

This is a good base.

Except you can go temple first as a prophet a lot…
only time you should go temple 1st as prophet is in 1v1 on chasms vs covie and on exile if you spawn in the centre vs covie. no point going temple 1st because now you have to choose between making your leader useful or buying ehg’s that get useless very quickly into the match.
btw I was thinking more about 3v3.

In 2v2 ideally if you’re playing prophet you should go T1 and rush with EHG and have hog support for every map. T2 at the latest, but honestly I prefer T1.

well with hog support then yeah; but if you’re going to T 1st rush why not just play brute instead? he’ll last longer and do more damage.
I usually build the temple first.
Never go third against a Brute with a braincell…

Ideally that is why everyone plays the brute…but you could play prophet in todays game and get away with it because not many people play the arbiter now a days. A prophet/cutter or prophet/anders will beat a brute/cutter or brute/anders every game…just nobody runs it…even though its no different than running a brute, they’re just afraid of running into an arby because then the hogs are worthless.

QFT
I like to go temple first to get my experience or stars on my leader because your only facing ai’s for the 1st couple minutes. If I can 2 stars on him at the same time I’m building my army getting that 3rd star is attainable when the battle starts. This is in 3v3 only though.
Temple should always be first for the fact that…
Get more bases faster in the beggining.
Therefore making up for not making supply pads first.
Produce an army faster from other things.
