THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • StoutT1 vehicle assault from 4:38 · 8% of role by thenFrom the Vehicle Plant. Only 8% of Front games have it by then; others who build it get it around 8:05
  • StoutStout in 78%2% of all Front games by then
  • ShellshockerArty in 52%11% of all Front games by then

Where those units first fight, in 23 games with kill data: in the middle 100%.

Those units destroy a typical 1,073 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

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