Key timing: Legion Drone Plant by 1:21

  1. Take mex and wind while queuing the drone plant early.

  3. Add an advanced mex to keep scaling economy for the team.
  4. Bring a fusion reactor online to support later tech.
  5. Supply allies with Noctua, Aeolus and Hippotes while building Noctua bombers.
