THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • StoutT1 vehicle assault from 4:33 · 8% of role by thenFrom the Vehicle Plant. Only 8% of Front games have it by then; others who build it get it around 6:15
  • StoutStout in 71%3% of all Front games by then

Where those units first fight, in 59 games with kill data: in the middle 97%.

Those units destroy a typical 1,064 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into blitz (12% of army), janus (11% of army).
