Once the Protoss researches Extended Thermal Lance, the only logical unit to add to your bio army for support is the Viking. Colossi are considered an air unit, so Vikings can hit them with their anti-air attack. Vikings do bonus damaged to armored units, so they deal bonus damage to the Colossus. Specific build orders & strategies are for top level players. Their goals are to: 1) utilize every last resource they have 2) deliver a specific unit composition at a given time As a new StarCraft player, you should not be worrying about specific. Bonuses against massive units only apply to air targets (and Graviton Beam can't target massive units), and Legacy of the Void has no bonuses against Psionic units (Snipe was removed). As such, the Archon is an effective all-rounder unit - apart from Ghosts, who can use EMP Rounds to tear through their shields, there is no one unit that works.

So I'm going to try to consolidate the tactics that I've learned throughout beta as well as watching countless replays. I myself am no pro, but I feel I have a fairly diverse knowledge of the basic Protoss opening strategies, even if I cannot always perfectly replicate them. Below, I'll list a variety of opening builds, their builds orders, and a sentence or two of detail about the builds strengths and weaknesses. I'll try to follow it up with some 'what to watch for' in the opening builds of your opponents, so you can pick a viable tech tree to counter.

(Build Order is listed by supply, the number on the left being at what supply you should start building that structure/unit)

Before I begin, one last tactical note: Especially if you are facing zerg, and sometimes on T/P, you want to wall off your ramp. This can be done a variety of ways, if it is against Zerg you want to do it with a Pylon + Gateway + Zealot (practice against AI, place your hole for the Zealot between the two). If it is against Protoss or Terran (Emo's advice: walling off against Terran and Protoss may be unnecessary or even detrimental against Terran), you can wall off with Gateway + Cybernetics Core + Zealot with your Pylon behind them (so they cannot lose power to marines, you may also skip the Zealot in these instances). If it is a large ramp like Scrap Station, use Pylon + Gateway + Cybernetics Core + Zealot.

Also, CB = Chrono Boost. I've marked fairly subjective unit builds with an asterisk (*) meaning your decision depending on the opponent.

Opening #1 - The Four Gate

The Four Gate is the bread and butter of the Protoss starter package, every Protoss should know and master this as it can be used in almost all scenarios and provides you with an easy tech path to whatever you need to counter your opponent. It is strong against nearly every opening expect perhaps 6 pool (depending on when you get your Zealot), and neutral against a mass Marine/Marauder build (you will stalemate and take it into later game).

Build Order:

9 - Pylon

10 - 2 probes (CB)

12 - Gateway (at 150 minerals, may be before 12)

12 - 2 probes (CB)

13 - 1st Assimilator (3 probes on it immediately)

16 - 2nd Pylon

* 16 - Zealot if playing Zerg, save for the Stalker if not

18 - Cybernetics Core (Spend further CB's on Warpgate, research as soon as Core finishes)

18/19 - 2nd Assimilator (I use 2 probes here for now, your call on unit composition)

Post 20 estimates (these are rough as you are leaving the rigid early phase):

* 19/20 - Stalker (T or P) / Zealot (Zerg)

22 - 2nd Gateway

23 - 3rd & 4th Gateway

24/25 - 3rd Pylon

26 - Warpgate finishes, transform your Gateways and build a 4th and 5th Pylon, you will now be using up exactly 1 Pylons worth of supply each warp in (4 units x 2 supply = 8 supply) so it is important to be planning ahead with your Pylons.

26+ - Warp in your first set of 4 units (sentry, zealot, 2x stalkers is a good start). Mix your composition up, don't go sentry heavy, 2 is a good number.

The push: After your second warp in you should be at 42-45 supply (10-12 army units), take a probe with your army and start moving across the map. Create a proxy pylon near their base, if you are certain begin pushing before the pylon completes, if not, wait for wave 4 of units (wave 3 should have been created back at your base and should be moving to reinforce your army, do NOT WAIT to use your warpgate cooldowns).

Opening #2 - The Void Ray Rush

The Void Ray Rush (VRR) is a simple opener that has been getting a lot of attention lately because of how easy it is to perform. Every Protoss should have it in their arsenal if for no better reason than to scare their opponents out of an all-in ground army. This build is effective against Zerg especially, but Protoss as well. Despite some small amount of success, it is not that great against Terrans, because it is countered by 3-4 marines (a very common starting build for a Terran).

Build Order:
