Where those units first fight, in 24 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 (11% of army), janus (9% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Stout push by 4:38

  1. Open Vehicle Plant fast, then mex and solar as usual.
  2. Add Shellshocker artillery to back the coming push.
  3. Commit to Stout-led T1 vehicle assault at middle.
  4. Keep Stout flowing as the main force at front.
  5. Bring Bot Lab online as the push transitions.
