THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • StoutT1 vehicle assault from 4:33 · 9% of role by thenFrom the Vehicle Plant. Only 9% of Front games have it by then; others who build it get it around 6:14
  • 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).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Stout push by 4:58

  1. Rush an early Vehicle Plant well ahead of role norm.
  2. Finish the Vehicle Plant almost immediately.
  3. Push out early Stout tanks to fight in the middle.
  4. Keep feeding Stout tanks as the main army.
  5. Reclaim the Vehicle Plant and transition toward Bot Lab tech.
