Seeker rush

Armada Beach sea build order · Supreme Isthmus

An even earlier hovercraft raid, with the platform up under a minute and a Seeker raid pushing to the middle by 1:30, well ahead of the role norm; but the handful of examples show enemies breaking into the team's own base shortly after…

Usually hovers first (100%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • SeekerHover raid from 1:27 · 12% of role by thenFrom the Hovercraft Platform. Only 12% of Beach sea games have it by then; others who build it get it around 2:25
  • Hovercraft PlatformHovercraft Platform in 100%15% of all Beach sea games by then
  • EllysawFrigate in 50%17% of all Beach sea games by then

Where those units first fight, in 8 games with kill data: in the middle 100%.

Those units destroy a typical 770 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into destroyer (35% of army), dolphin (17% of army), frigate (15% of army).
