Incisor raid

Cortex Geo build order · Supreme Isthmus

Geo builds a vehicle plant early and sends Incisors out around 6:48 to raid, but nearly half the games show units fighting on Geo's own side with notable prior team pressure.

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • IncisorT1 vehicle raid from 6:48 · 7% of role by thenFrom the Vehicle Plant. Only 7% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 7:19
  • IncisorIncisor in 70%5% of all Geo games by then
  • HerculesLight transport from an ally in 43%17% of all Geo games by then
  • Vehicle PlantVehicle Plant in 40%16% of all Geo games by then

Started with Incisor (90%), Blitz (7%), Rascal (3%).

Where those units first fight, in 30 games with kill data: in the middle 50%, on their own side 43%, in the enemy base 7%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,323 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Incisor raid by 6:48

  1. Open standard Bot Lab and geo as usual for Geo.
  2. Finish early Geothermal Powerplant on schedule.
  3. Add a Vehicle Plant for Incisor light tanks.
  4. Send Incisor to skirmish in middle or on your own side.
  5. Reclaim the Vehicle Plant and shift back to Sheldon/Arbiter for front.

WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

Won less often than the standard build despite destroying more enemy metal, losing far more of its own in the trade.

  • + Enemy metal destroyed jumps sharply by 10:00 (2530 vs 421).
  • + Own metal production stays close to standard through 15:00.
  • − Own metal lost by 10:00 is ten times standard (2660 vs 260).
  • − Team win rate drops well below standard (39% vs 47%).
