Stargate into Robo
Detected if the Stargate is the FIRST tech building, at least 1 real Phoenix / Oracle / Void Ray is on the field by 10:00, and a Robotics Facility is built by 10:00. This is the generic Stargate-into-Robo transition only when a clearer three-base Twilight path is absent: Twilight-then-Glaives before the Robo uses PvZ - Stargate into Glaives, while a three-base Twilight build whose first upgrade is Blink or Charge keeps its Standard Blink / Charge Macro label even if a support Robo is added later. Twilight may precede the third only when that Nexus follows within four minutes.
54.0% win rate over 37 ladder games since patch 5.0.16
n = 37 games from 4 players · Stats updated Sep 28, 2026
Across 37 PvZ ladder games from 4 players since patch 5.0.16, Stargate into Robo wins 54.0% of decided games. The likely range for its true win rate is 38.4–69.0%, so it is too close to call against a coin flip. It appears in 6.6% 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 = 37), so treat it as a directional read.
Key timings
These timings come from 30 recorded build orders by 3 players. Buildings are timed when construction starts, upgrades and morphs when they finish, exactly as the replay records them. The median player starts Robotics Facility at 8:06, with the middle half between 5:44 and 9:04. Timing data is still thin (n = 30 replays), so expect these medians to move.
