Pond / Legion / Economy first / OBSERVED BUILD

Standard pond

Legion Pond builds its bot lab by 3:45, boosts front and tidals, then adds a shipyard around 8:25 and an advanced metal extractor by 9:11, transitioning into seaplane gunships and other bots to keep helping the front hold until team T2.

Then transitions into Goblin (22% of army), Enyo (19% of army), Satyr (12% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Legion Bot Lab by 3:54

  1. Build tidal generators and mex first to fund boosting.
  2. Boost fronts with wind or tidal, adjusting to their wind level.
  3. Get a Legion Bot Lab up around 3:54 for your own units.
  4. Send Goblins, Enyos, Satyrs and Karkinos to reinforce front.
  5. Upgrade a mex to Advanced Metal Extractor as tech kicks in.
