Incisor raid

Geo detours through a Vehicle Plant to send Incisors raiding from under 7 minutes, well before the role's usual T2 push, before transitioning back into normal T2 supply.

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • IncisorT1 vehicle raid from 6:48 · 9% of role by thenFrom the Vehicle Plant. Only 9% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 7:17
  • IncisorIncisor in 68%6% of all Geo games by then
  • PrudePrude in 47%15% of all Geo games by then

Started with Incisor (89%), Blitz (5%), Rascal (5%).

Where those units first fight, in 19 games with kill data: in the middle 53%, on their own side 42%, in the enemy base 5%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,699 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Vehicle Plant by 6:39, Incisor raid from 6:48

  1. Open bot lab and standard mex/wind as normal for Geo.
  2. Rush geo early to fund the vehicle transition.
  3. Build a vehicle plant instead of going straight to T2.
  4. Push Incisor raiders into the enemy economy before T2 units.
  5. Fold back into Sheldon and Sumo T2 units for front.
