THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • MauserT2 vehicle artillery from 5:24 · 4% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Vehicle Plant. Only 4% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 8:07
  • Advanced Vehicle PlantAdvanced Vehicle Plant in 95%7% of all Geo games by then
  • Vehicle PlantVehicle Plant in 95%17% of all Geo games by then
  • ProphetRadar vehicle in 57%2% of all Geo games by then

Where those units first fight, in 93 games with kill data: in the middle 85%, on their own side 15%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,963 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Starlight (24% of army), Jaguar (21% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Advanced Vehicle Plant by 4:26

  1. Open double mex and wind into Bot Lab by 1:12.
  2. Bring geo online, then reclaim bot lab and vehicle plant.
  3. Drop Vehicle Plant, then push straight to Advanced Vehicle Plant.
  4. Field Mauser arty from the T2 plant to support front.
  5. Add Umbra jammer support alongside the arty push.
