HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Legion Bot Lab by 3:23

  1. Open with a wall of tidals, planning to boost front hard.
  2. Add mex and wind, then build Legion Bot Lab for units.
  3. Keep stacking wind to pay the front's boost needs.
  4. Eat the Legion Bot Lab around 5:12 to fund more units.
  5. Build shipyard and Advanced Metal Extractor, transition into gunships and bots.
