Blitz raid

Armada Geo build order · Supreme Isthmus

Geo rushes a Vehicle Plant before its advanced metal extractor and sends Blitz tanks raiding from around 4:26, well ahead of the usual T2 push timing.

Usually blows up the commander for T2 (65%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • BlitzT1 vehicle raid from 4:26 · 6% of role by thenFrom the Vehicle Plant. Only 6% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 7:24
  • Vehicle PlantVehicle Plant in 99%17% of all Geo games by then
  • BlitzBlitz in 54%3% of all Geo games by then

Started with Blitz (90%), Pincer (9%), Rover (1%).

Where those units first fight, in 116 games with kill data: in the middle 78%, on their own side 18%.

Those units destroy a typical 1,421 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Starlight (20% of army), Jaguar (12% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Blitz raid by 4:15

  1. Open mex and Bot Lab same as the usual Geo start.
  2. Get geo up on schedule to keep pace with role norms.
  3. Rush Vehicle Plant and send Blitz tanks out to raid early.
  4. Reclaim Vehicle Plant in most games to recover metal.
  5. Switch into Starlight and Jaguar army as advanced geo finishes.
