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%)
