HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Legion Vehicle Plant by 1:01

  1. Take a single mex and rush the bot lab immediately.
  2. Finish the bot lab fast to start early Decurion or Ballista pushes.
  3. Get the vehicle plant up to widen unit options for the front.
  4. Contest the middle early and expect combat losses right away.
  5. Pick up T2 constructor once middle is stabilized to prep for T2 arrivals.
