Mace bot assault

Armada Suicide front build order · Supreme Isthmus

An economy-first start rushes Mace out of the Bot Lab from around 2:02, well ahead of the role's norm, to push a stronger bot assault into the middle before shifting to the usual mixed army.

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • MaceT1 bot assault from 1:52 · 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 2:13
  • MaceMace in 77%6% of all Suicide front games by then

Where those units first fight, in 99 games with kill data: in the middle 99%.

Those units destroy a typical 2,630 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into rocketeer (10% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Mace by 2:03

  1. Open single mex straight into Bot Lab by 0:44.
  2. Grab more mex and wind while lab keeps producing.
  3. Push Mace-led bot assault into middle ahead of schedule.
  4. Keep reinforcing with Mace, add Centurion for anti-swarm.
  5. Transition into usual Centurion/Blitz mix with T2 cons.
