THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • StoutT1 vehicle assault from 4:58 · 7% of role by thenFrom the Vehicle Plant. Only 7% of Front games have it by then; others who build it get it around 7:41
  • StoutStout in 81%3% of all Front games by then
  • ShellshockerArty in 54%11% of all Front games by then

Where those units first fight, in 26 games with kill data: in the middle 100%.

Those units destroy a typical 1,119 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into blitz (12% of army), janus (10% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Stout by 7:27

  1. Open mex and wind, then drop Vehicle Plant by 0:42.
  2. Add Shellshocker arty from the Vehicle Plant for support.
  3. Push Stout tanks straight to middle, skipping the normal Janus wait.
  4. Have a full Stout wave at front, reinforcing continuously.
  5. Transition into Advanced Metal Extractor and a Bot Lab for T2.

  • − Team win rate only 31% vs 63% for the standard build.
  • − Enemy metal destroyed by 15:00 trails standard, 7438 vs 8365.
