Suicide front / Armada / Factory first / OBSERVED BUILD

Standard suicide front

The role's default: factory first (mostly Bot Lab), pushing Rocketeer-led bot play into the middle to contest and hold the front, with an Advanced Metal Extractor around 9:36 as the natural transition.

Usually lab first (63%)

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Bot Lab by 0:20

  1. Open with mex and wind, drop Bot Lab immediately.
  2. Push out first "Centurion" as Pond's boost lands.
  3. Send "Rocketeer", "Centurion", "Pawn" mix to contest middle.
  4. Add Dragon's Teeth and Sentries to hold the line.
  5. Get Advanced Metal Extractor up as T2 nears.
