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.

WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

Lost more often than the standard build, destroying more but also losing far more metal by 15:00.

  • + Destroys more enemy metal by 10:00 and 15:00 than standard.
  • + Catch units alone chew through a typical 3644 metal by 15:00.
  • − Own metal lost more than triples the standard build by 10:00.
  • − Team win rate drops well below the role's standard.
