HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Legion Vehicle Plant by 0:55

  1. Take mex and wind, then rush Legion Vehicle Plant immediately.
  2. Finish Legion Vehicle Plant fast to start Barrage and Lance.
  3. Send first units to the coast to stop leaks, not middle.
  4. Push Barrage and Lance to the coast line before moving to mid.
  5. Add Advanced Metal Extractor and keep mixed vehicle army flowing.
