Liche bombers

Armada Geo build order · Supreme Isthmus

Geo rushes an Advanced Aircraft Plant and pushes T2 Liche atomic bombers into the enemy base from around 8:23, well before the role's typical T2 timing.

Usually blows up the commander for T2 (86%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • LicheT2 air bombers from 8:23 · 1% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Aircraft Plant. Only 1% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 10:08
  • Advanced Aircraft PlantAdvanced Aircraft Plant in 100%2% of all Geo games by then
  • Aircraft PlantAircraft Plant in 100%16% of all Geo games by then
  • HighwindHighwind in 91%1% of all Geo games by then
  • OracleOracle in 91%1% of all Geo games by then

Started with Liche (95%), Stiletto (5%).

Where those units first fight, in 20 games with kill data: in the middle 75%, on their own side 15%, in the enemy base 10%.

Those units destroy a typical 6,216 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Highwind (25% of army), Starlight (9% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Advanced Aircraft Plant by 7:45

  1. Open mex and wind as usual, then queue a Bot Lab fast.
  2. Finish geo, then reclaim Bot Lab and push straight into air.
  3. Build Aircraft Plant, then reclaim it into an Advanced Aircraft Plant.
  4. Push "Liche" bombers into the enemy base well ahead of role norm.
  5. Add "Oracle" and "Highwind" support, then shift into T2 cons and "Starlight".

WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

This build's team won far more often than the standard build, destroying nearly double the enemy metal by 10:00 while losing less metal overall by 15:00.

  • + Team won 79% vs 54% for the standard build.
  • + Destroyed 2556 enemy metal by 10:00 vs 542 for standard.
  • − Own metal production trails standard build by 15:00 (29205 vs 31727).
  • − Reclaims Bot Lab, Aircraft Plant and sometimes Vehicle Plant, delaying raw output.
