Incisor raid

Cortex Geo build order · Supreme Isthmus

Geo adds a Vehicle Plant by ~6:40 and sends Incisors out as a T1 raid from 6:47, fighting partly on the team's own side early but clearly aimed at raiding ahead of the usual T2 timeline rather than reacting to a collapse.

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

Those units destroy a typical 3,699 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.
