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%)

  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.
