Usually 2 mex, then lab (66%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • MaceT1 bot assault from 2:07 · 12% of role by thenFrom the Bot Lab. Only 12% of Suicide front games have it by then; others who build it get it around 1:53
  • MaceMace in 94%5% of all Suicide front games by then
  • CenturionCenturion in 42%13% of all Suicide front games by then

Where those units first fight, in 64 games with kill data: in the middle 98%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,275 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into blitz (11% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Mace by 2:10

  1. Open Bot Lab immediately with mex spread as usual.
  2. Push Mace assault out earlier than the role's normal pace.
  3. Lead with Mace to push middle and pressure the enemy base.
  4. Mix in Centurion for anti-swarm support on the push.
  5. Keep heavy Mace numbers flowing as your main bot ball.
