THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • SharpshooterT2 bot snipers from 8:41 · 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 45%3% of all Geo games by then
  • SprinterSprinter in 43%5% of all Geo games by then

Where those units first fight, in 40 games with kill data: in the middle 88%, on their own side 13%.

Those units destroy a typical 4,452 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Welder (11% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Advanced Bot Lab by 6:51

  1. Open mex and wind into geo, standard Geo eco start.
  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.
  5. Shift build power to T2 cons and supply allies as usual.
