Sharpshooter snipers

Armada Tech (Eco) build order · Supreme Isthmus

Standard T2 rush into an early Sharpshooter-led sniper bot push around 8:10-8:38, pairing T2 constructor support for Geo with sniper bots fighting at the middle rather than just economy scaling.

Usually first T2 con to Geo (81%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • SharpshooterT2 bot snipers from 8:10 · 6% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Bot Lab. Only 6% of Tech games have it by then; others who build it get it around 9:04

Where those units first fight, in 97 games with kill data: in the middle 55%, on their own side 45%.

Those units destroy a typical 1,385 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into anti-nuke (13% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Sharpshooter out by 9:04

  1. Open standard T2 rush with Bot Lab first.
  2. Finish Advanced Bot Lab on the normal T2 timing.
  3. Upgrade mex as usual while eco scales.
  4. Push Sharpshooter snipers from Advanced Bot Lab to fight forward in middle.
  5. Keep producing T2 cons and anti-nuke for the team.
