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.
