PvZ build order guide

Robo Opener

Detected if a Robotics Facility is the FIRST tech building -- built BEFORE any Stargate / Twilight Council / Dark Shrine. Pure ordering, no time threshold: a slow Robo opener with no other tech first still counts.

n = 64 games from 4 players · Stats updated Sep 28, 2026

Since patch 5.0.16, 4 players logged 64 PvZ ladder games with Robo Opener, winning 56.3% of the decided ones. The likely range for its true win rate is 44.1–67.7%, so it is too close to call against a coin flip. It appears in 11.5% of the 559 PvZ games in the guide sample. This guide is newly published, so there is no weekly trend yet. This is still a small sample (n = 64), so treat it as a directional read.

Key timings

These timings come from 56 recorded build orders by 4 players. Buildings are timed when construction starts, upgrades and morphs when they finish, exactly as the replay records them. The median player finishes Warpgate at 4:27, with the middle half between 4:24 and 4:46. Timing data is still thin (n = 56 replays), so expect these medians to move.
