HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: T2 lab by 4:15

  1. Take 3 mex, then wind and a Bot Lab to open eco fast.
  2. Push T2 lab out, aim to pass T2 to air player.
  3. Get first T2 constructor building, prioritize mex upgrades over eco.
  4. Finish Advanced Metal Extractor, keep upgrading team's mex.
  5. Add fus and anti-nuke, keep feeding T2 cons and Umbrella/Citadel to team.

  • + Produces 31389 metal by 15:00, far above other roles.
  • + Reaches T2 lab and constructor by 4:15-4:33 almost every game.
  • − Barely destroys any enemy metal (400 by 15:00), no combat presence.
  • − Fusion Reactor and anti-nuke only land in 44% of games.
