Nuke rush

After the usual T2 rush, Tech commits early to an Armageddon nuke silo from around 10:24, well ahead of the norm, aiming it at the enemy base while still supplying T2 to the team.

Usually first T2 con to Geo (80%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • ArmageddonArmageddon from 10:24 · 7% of role by thenOnly 7% of Tech games have it by then; others who build it get it around 10:29

Where those units first fight, in 21 games with kill data: in the enemy base 95%.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Armageddon by 10:28

  1. Open triple mex and wind into the standard fast T2 lab rush.
  2. Get the Advanced Bot Lab up on the usual quick timing.
  3. Upgrade mexes to Advanced Metal Extractor while funneling T2 cons to allies.
  4. Commit early to an Armageddon nuke silo instead of the later norm.
  5. Finish the silo and start stockpiling toward a nuke on the enemy base.

WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

Won clearly more often than the standard build despite dealing almost no early damage, a scaling eco-and-silo play rather than a fighting one.

  • + Team win rate well above standard (63% vs 53%)
  • + Own metal lost by 15:00 much lower (130 vs 260)
  • − Enemy metal destroyed by 15:00 far below standard (90 vs 400)
  • − Silo only up, no nuke stockpiled or launched yet
