Sharpshooter snipers

Armada Tech (Eco) build order · Supreme Isthmus

After the standard T2 rush, the player commits early to T2 Sharpshooter sniper bots from around 7:54, but the units fight roughly as often on the team's own side as in the middle, suggesting a mixed reactive push.

Usually first T2 con to Geo (83%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • SharpshooterT2 bot snipers from 7:54 · 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 8:44

Where those units first fight, in 51 games with kill data: in the middle 51%, on their own side 49%.

Those units destroy a typical 1,380 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into anti-nuke (14% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Sharpshooter by 8:07

  1. Open 3 mex into wind and a bot lab like normal eco start.
  2. Get Advanced Bot Lab up on schedule instead of skipping it.
  3. Upgrade mex to Advanced Metal Extractor to fund the T2 pivot.
  4. Push Sharpshooter sniper bots to middle instead of just feeding team T2.
  5. Add anti-nuke and keep sniper bots as the core army.
