== What's your tech ? == Absorb has been taken care of, you have a bunch of drones, and a whole lot gold to spare. Now, it's time to decide what tech you need. Obviously, the one required to buy the absorber. And as obviously, the higher your economy, the more you can afford with it. Apart from tech buildings, there are two main things you can buy with your economy : attackers, and soak. === Attack forces === The best attacker in the base set is the Tarsier. In many cases where R is an option for attack, you will throw in a few Tarsiers in the mix, but keep in mind that advanced set units are more efficient than base set ones, so you will actually want to base your attack on something else (except if the advanced set is all defensive units). Here, there is little advice I can give as it heavily depends on the set : if you economy will let you get the most efficient attacker, then go for it. As rough numbers go, you will need around 5 gold to spend on a Blastforge (Wall) and 8 gold to spend on an Animus (2 Tarsiers) if there is no advanced units to spend it more efficiently. Green is hard to quantify, but it matters less if you don't spend it all, you always have the option to bank it and use it on Forcefields later on. === Soak options === Absorbing and attacking will not be enough. You need to make sure you also have the option to soak your opponent's damage. Most absorbers are blue, so it means you have access to Wall which is a decent soak but Walls are limited on supply, so you may need to rely on something else. Make sure that your tech choices include the possibility to buy soak as well. Best soak options will lie in the Blue and Green colors (Polywall, Aegis ...), but Red also has decent options, like Blood Pact or Corpus. And that's it for the basics of set reading. Like I said, it's tough, but you get better by practicing and reviewing your games. And it's the most useful skill in the book, so it's important to read sets well, as it can easly determine the outcome of the game.
