Build Order Reference

22 pop Scouts

Classic build. Scouts can gain early map control, do early damage before walls go up, and can effectively kill off small groups of archers/skirms. This has been superseded by faster versions of the build in competitive play, but remains a great place for newer players to start due to its straightforward eco setup.
