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 1:28 · 11% of role by thenFrom the Hovercraft Platform. Only 11% of Beach sea games have it by then; others who build it get it around 2:23
  • Hovercraft PlatformHovercraft Platform in 100%14% of all Beach sea games by then
  • EllysawFrigate in 40%18% of all Beach sea games by then

Where those units first fight, in 15 games with kill data: in the middle 80%, in the enemy base 20%.

Those units destroy a typical 626 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into destroyer (27% of army), frigate (16% of army), dolphin (13% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Hovercraft Platform by 0:54

  1. Open triple mex and wind, rush Hovercraft Platform by 1:23.
  2. Push Seeker raiders straight to middle, skip extra eco.
  3. Lay Shipyard down to start the normal sea transition.
  4. Reclaim the Hovercraft Platform once raid work is done.
  5. Bring Corsair and Eel online to hold the sea lane.
