THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • SharpshooterT2 bot snipers from 8:30 · 3% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Bot Lab. Only 3% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 9:32
  • Advanced Bot LabAdvanced Bot Lab in 100%7% of all Geo games by then
  • SmugglerJammer bot in 90%3% of all Geo games by then
  • SharpshooterSniper bot in 44%2% of all Geo games by then

  2. Rush Advanced Bot Lab straight off geothermal power.
  3. Pump Sharpshooter sniper bots to hold the middle.
  4. Add jammer bot support behind the snipers for cover.
